David Barnes - Manc Welter

After his destruction of Hare I really thought he had the goods but he seems to have gone backwards after his draw and loss to the African chaps.

Now he's just fighting 8 rounders against nobodies.

Anyone have any news on him?

I dont think its news, its pretty well known he doesnt live the life

Thats it mate, i met him a few times, he doesnt really have the discipline outside the ring, but hes down at 10 stone now and trying to get going again, i can see him winning a British Title again, but after that i dont see much more, i feel sorry for him he was supposed to be on the Hatton Vegas card and it got scrapped at the last minute as his opponent never turned up for the weigh in, shame really, he was looking forward to that fight.

T, this a regional programme on SKY that features all the local Manchester Boxers. Barnes was on it not too long ago...although I can't remember which one. Either way, there's some really good stuff on there that makes it worth trawling through

I met David at the Moore v Macklin fight, nice lad but he seemed like he'd been snorting coke or something, he was fucking hyper. Like everyones said, very talented fighter but lacks the discipline.
