    Comments Thread For: Macklin vs Barker Bout if Off: Barker Suffers Injury

    The BBC have revealed that Darren Barker's British and EBU middleweight title defence against Matthew Macklin has been scrapped due to a rib injury suffered by Barker. The hugely anticipated match-up was seen by many as the ***el in the crown of Frank Warrens 'Magnificent Seven' bill at Birmingham's LG Arena on September 18th. Macklin recently travelled to Freddie Roach's Wildcard gym for his final pre-fight preparations and will be disappointed by this latest development. Barker recently dismissed rumours that he was going to withdraw from the fight and the popular Southerner must have hoped to battle through the pain barrier in order to make the date, alas it is not to be and British boxing fans can only hope that the fight gets rescheduled.

                      Not surprised. I predicted that this card would slowly start falling apart. Expect Sprott vs Skelton to be the main event by the time it comes around.
