Official Barker vs. Rotolo & undercards RBR Discussion Thread

Barker got stopped by Sergio he was then plagued with injuries; hes come back & destroyed Hope who gave Proska fits twice & just beat a decent Euro level fighter who arguably beat Sylvester when he was good. I'm not saying they're great wins but how he performed was impressive. I feel now he has something he may not of before and that is the killer instinct! Hes added a S&C and is swimming etc He looks a lot stronger, leaner & more purposeful than before. I really do think hes coming back and his loss has made him stronger & a better fighter. He's looking for a world title shot & that will come in the summer. Barkers a good fighter, he may not be the best middleweight in the world or second best but hes a good, solid pro who IMO creams most of that top 10. That confidence goes a long way towards success. I expect good things from Barker from now on. :boxing:

The broadcast commentary was hilarious. They kept saying "Barker is back, This is the Barker of old" because he whooped on some 37 year old Italian bum. FFS. What was funny about it? Given Barkers excessive career threatening injuries and recent lay offs, I'd suggest the "Barker is back" bit is quite appropriate and makes reference to his physical condition and not who he just beat.

Wait am I reading post of people praising Baker based on him beating a bum?The broadcast commentary was hilarious. They kept saying "Barker is back, This is the Barker of old" because he whooped on some 37 year old Italian bum.

Barker/Macklin/Lee/Murray. I just really want those guys to fight each other in all possible permutations. Surely, they all make serious money in these fights - they could sell out the 02 in Dublin every time, and like Barker says there is trilogies and all sorts to be had. The issue with them is, I suspect none of them are just about good enough to win a world title. They could all possibly beat Geale but that title is lost to Australia. I haven't watched enough of Quillin but is he a step above these guys? I honestly don't want another fighter to provide a road block and stop these fuckers from fighting each other. They should have been fighting each other for the last 3 years. If Quillin bumps another one of them off, I give up - because it's not going to happen.

You just don't quit do you? I won't have to let you know about the "top" frauds at MW when they choose to avoid him because I'm sure there will be plenty of articles about it on here for you to discredit. 3G fighting Ishida, LMAO......where is he ranked? Where was Rosado ranked? Yeah, I thought so. You don't quit either :lol1: You praise Barker for beating on absolute scrubs. You're actually acting like this win tonight is something impressive. You were acting as if his win over Kerry Hope was something impressive :lol1: Kerry Hope! And really, no one is avoiding Darren Barker. He simply brings nothing to the table. Once Barker actually beats a ranked fighter people might bat an eye lid at him. In fairness to him, he's not struggling at European level anymore so he's on the up. He seems injury free now for the most part so hopefully he holds up. As for Golovkin, I think he's unproven and overhyped at this moment in time.

Is this supposed to be an impressive win or something? Let me know when Barker has an actual good win against a ranked fighter on his resume. You just don't quit do you?

Told you guys that Baker is no joke. Getting hard to keep discrediting him and I'd love for him to work Quillin over. Is this supposed to be an impressive win or something? Let me know when Barker has an actual good win against a ranked fighter on his resume.

someone in the crowd advising Camacho to 'get him with the windmill'. lol. LMFAO..Wow..

Just seen the fight. Barker looked good like he usually does at this level. Eddie Hearn will get him big fights so I look forward to when he steps up again. He does some things very well but he also has some clear flaws. I'd love to see a fight between him and Quillen.

Those two guys should only fight each other.

It's over, Camacho was way too tired to continue.

Camacho down (was that a jab?), man this fights so messy.

This is a mini classic. Neither is particular good but still.

Yeah I don't see why not, he went to the U.S & fought Sergio. I think he stops Geale myself. Quillin is a fight Eddie Hearn is interested in for Barker, I'd love to see that. Quillin wont take it tho, he has Rubio coming up next

Forget about the jab! Lol. Some classic quotes coming from the crowd here.

Why be in boxing If you can't endure pain? Not talking about those fights canceled but this Italian guy quitting from a hand hurting. Not even young Russell Jr quit from it WTF... Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android No idea... It pisses me off though as a boxing fan I mean you shouldn't get in the ring with someone If you have any doubt about it or question yourself during the fight, the sore hand was more than likely a excuse for him just saying I don't want anymore. This is why I also HATE the fact that a tune up fight was basically the main-event I think Carson Jones would of stopped Lee Purdy If that fight happened just a pity...
