I can't believe how underrated this guy is but he's going to make a fan out of a lot of people.
I can't stand most British boxers but let me tell you this guys very talented.
I've followed this guy from day 1 and know a damn well good fighter when I see one, I don't jump on hypetrains like the rest do.
He's a spiteful puncher (not the most heavy handed in the world) that uses his height & reach well, very fast hands, lovely jab, timing & footwork.
This is a classic case of 1 fighter being hugely overrated & the other underrated.
You all said Macklin had no chance against Sturm & how wrong was you? Macklins no Darren Barker.
Lets be fair here Barker is an underdog for good reason but Sergio is very beatable & overrated in a lot of area's (punch power, timing & footwork)
Because of his great lateral movement & showboating, ONE perfectly timed corkscrew left against a guy who didn't see it coming - people think this guys better than he actually is. You need to remember - This guys struggled against a fair few Euro-bums as you call them.
The bookies are taking notice as well from a 10-1 underdog to a 6-1 now with weeks to go.
He stands in front of Barker, impersonating a drunken monkey, mark my words Barkers going to slap the **** out of him & be gone before he throws that predictable corkscrew left.
Win-lose-draw, I promise you Barkers going to surprise a lot of people. (This guys made a career of sparring, fighting & whipping southpaws)
Love how they give the robotic stiff Dzinziruk a chance but not Barker when reality is Barkers better in every department.
He has the height & reach, youth (Sergio's not getting any younger & once those reflexes even start to go
), timing, accuracy & I'd even go as far as saying he is as fast if not quicker than Sergio (remember I was a guy who said Wlad was probably as fast as Haye & the world laughed, I wasn't exactly wrong)
I said Arce will not just beat Wilfredo Vazquez Jr but likely K.O him late, the world laughed. They said Arce was done & this kid was going to KHTFO!
This is Barkers big chance, he's not like most of these bums that are there for a payday, he'll go to win & prove the world wrong because thats the type of fighter he is. Don't count this guy out, he's no scrub.
WAR BARKERRRRRR!
