this fella worth following? I just noticed he dominated one of our boys a couple of fights back. Any info appreciated.

I remember watching the fight with the Aussie. It was a really entertaining fight with his opponent showing he has a damn good chin. Barker had another commonwealth defense last night and he looked impressive in beating Steve Bendall, who is very limited. On the question of whether Barker is worth following I would say he has a good chance of winning the European title, but I don't see him making any impact on the world scene. He gets hit a bit too much for my liking and lacks the skill to go on to great things IMO.

It is hard to really evalute him though because he has an extremely padded record and has not been remotely tested so far. When he has his first real test we'll see what hes capable of. I would moniter him loosely at this point and i'll try to keep you updated how hes getting on.
