Anyone backing Barker?

[Bodyshot3]

Despite its quality and significance, the Darren Barker v Daniel Geale MW championship fight seems to be slipping right under the radar.

Some bright spark thought grubby/sleezy Atlantic City was the best place to stage a big fight between a Brit and an Aussie.....rather than somewhere illogical/random like Manchester, London, Melbourne or Sydney where nobody would turn-up. Apparently, Anglo-Australian contests never draw crowds and always lack passion.

Piss-poor choice of venue and personal grumble aside...is anyone picking Barker and if yes, then why?

I am staying on the fence. I like Barker and think if he's fully-fit and goes for it, then he's got a chance. But Geale seems to know how to win fights and has the better top-level experience.

I'm not backing him but I think it's only like 60-40 chances Geale wins. Barker is for real. It made me sick some of the criticism he got for giving Martinez an excellent fight and breaking his nose. I'm rooting for Barker even though I think Geale's more likely to get the W.

I'm looking forward to this fight.
Seems the bookies and the majority of fight fans are backing Geale, but i see Barker winning. I like rate Geale but for me, Barker is the better fighter.

65-35 fight for me... one that I won't put money on in a parlay

[CraigM]

I got Barker, just..

He seems really hungry and i think the martinez fight will make him want it so much more.

[D-MiZe]

I'm backing him as a fellow Brit and because he's 2/1 to win but I think Geale's high workrate is all wrong for him. Think it'll be a close, competitive fight with the Aussie sneaking a close decision.

[P4P_No1]

I'm backing Barker.

Hope he can pull it out the bag. He's had some bad luck with injuries and I do like the guy to be fair so fingers crossed he can do it.

It'll be tight though.

I don't rate Geale, but style wise it is interesting.

I'm going for Barker via UD.

[M Bison]

I'm going to favour Daniel Geale, I think he will absolutely out class him and out work him.

I'll just wait and see If I'm wrong.
