Monte Barrett vs Owen Beck

I haven't seen much of Beck,but I do know his impressive record is filled with bums.Barrett is definetly a big step up in class for Beck.I'l go with Barrett by late round stoppage because his experience and he's also known to be a strong late round fighter. YES! :cool:

Yeah he did

Did Barrett knock down Baby Joe in their fight?

Ive not seen Beck before but ive seen Barrett so ill have to with barrett on points. But i think it takes him a few rounds to get into the fight

Regardless the winner will be a number 1 contender and I think both would get whipped against Vitali or Byrd.

Barret by UD ....I got Monte by KO

Monte Barrett is just and average fighter, but still from what I hear of Beck he ain't much better. Still this is a showcase fight, both guys have a chance to impress and show they are a legit heavyweight contender. If I had to pick I's say Barrett but I hope both guys will come out and look at this as a major opportunity fight, because it is.

I agree. The only real knock against Beck is that he's built his record against terrible opposition. I mean really terrible opposition. Without a doubt, his toughest challenges were Rogerio Lobo, George Arias, and Taurus Sykes, and he went the distance with all of them but Lobo. He should have knocked out Arias, who was a natural cruiserweight and had been stopped by Fres Oquendo. All his other distance fights came early in his career when the fights were scheduled for four and six rounds. My point is, we don't really know how good he is, but he may not punch as hard as they say. Still, I'm gonna go with the up and comer in this match-up. After all, it's better to have unknown potential than known limitations. It'll be better for the division if Beck wins. Why does everyone ignore the fact that Beck has been KD twice in his last four fights against Byron Polley 15-5 and Daniel Frank 15-9-1?

i like your avator. Thanks :cool:

Its kind of strange because I have not heard much about Barret ever since he beat Dominick Guinn. i like your avator.

I think this will be a great matchup with both guys having alot to lose and gain. Who do you think will win. I think the fight is in Feb. I wouldve said Barrett before but I was really impressed with Beck the other night and now I dont know I agree.

go go beck by UD

I havent seen Beck fight but I've seen Barret fight a couple of times now and I think hes a pretty decent fighter. Not spectacular, but pretty solid all around. I think he'll KO this guy in 8-10.
