Anyone backing Barker?

[Stuntman Mike]

Hoping Barker wins but my money is on a Geale decision.

yeah ,I put an accumulator on Clev and Barker to win but I think I'm pissing in the wind

Never bet with your heart and never bet accumulators!

Anyone playing Alarm roulette for this one? Mine is set for 3 AM. Counting on the Martinez/Romero fight going a few rounds.

I'm not great at this game, last time I played GGG had landed that body shot 30 seconds before I turned the TV on.

Routing for Barker but concerned about Geale's workrate.

I'm backing Barker now, screw Shaw

Sweet, Barker up 3-0

Delighted, chuffed and proud to see Darren get the win and to have my hunch about Geale squeaking it get proved wrong. Sounds as if DB showed a lot of bottle getting up from a really nasty shot in the middle of the fight.

Wrong venue for the fight but deinitely the right result.....

....not sure what options Geale now has (rematch within a certain period?) and whether he'll chose to enforce anything he's got in the contract.

Well done Darren.... IBF middleweight champion of the world.

I was right about that bloody venue.

I think Barker has to fight Sturm & the winner of that has to fight Geale.

@taansend....agreed about the venue mate.

I do wonder whether Sturm will want to join this particular party.....especially if Eddie Hearn (who likes Barker) splashes the cash and gets the fight in London.

Maybe Sturm will surprise us and come to the UK but even if he shows some nuts and travels I think he will get beaten.

Doubt it, but if he wants the fight, he has to come to the UK.
Hearn is going to take care of Barker and not let him go overseas to defend his freaking title

I did not think Barker would do it. I was wrong.
