On September 18, Matthew Macklin and Darren Barker are set to engage in that rarest of events, a genuine fifty-fifty fight between two contenders looking to step up to the next level. Barker, the British and European 160lb champion, is undefeated in 22 contests, 14 KOs, and believes that Macklin is his stepping stone to bigger and better things.

I think Macklin is going to catch him.

He's the man with the better chin and the bigger punch and this is Barker's first time in with geniune quality. Barker had more trouble with the French guy than he should have.

You could say his bark is worse than his bite.

I be rootin for Barker but i think MM has the edge - more power, more experiance, stronger and i think a better chin. Should be a great fight tho

Macklin KO rd 8-10

When Macklin catches Barker, he's going for the kill. We've seen Barker hurt, but none of his opponents showed any killer instinct or experience to inflict more damage. Macklin should stop him within 10.

Macklin is going to have massive support at this fight. Me and a group of my mates (we are nearly all Anglo-Irish) are going to be there to support him and I'm sure fighting at home will mean he'll have the majority of the crowd on his side. I think he'll do it as well. Barker was getting busted up against the French chap he fought last and ultimately was lucky that he had about as much power as my nan. Macklin on the other hand does carry serious power, indeed I think he'll break Barker down in the mid-rounds for a TKO victory.
