Official Barker vs. Rotolo & undercards RBR Discussion Thread

[BafanaBafana]

That was an impressive performance by Barker, Rotolo had only ever been stopped by cuts and his last loss was a split decisionin 2007 against a prime Sebastien Sylvester. He would undoubtedly stop Proksa and would have a good chance of beating any top middleweight outside of Martinez.

What can you actually take from this fight though?
He fought a nobody... two fights against who?
Beat the crap out of Geale?
More likely Geale would completely out work him if anything, his only chance of getting a world title is by fighting Geale I think as he's the easier option out of the others holding the world titles but even at that its a tall order for him.

Geale is a glass jawed load of garbage who sc****s by getting split decisions against shot, old Euro level opposition. Barker would destroy that bum. No doubt about it.

Dude quit from a hurt hand? Who the hell quits from a hurt hand? Fight one handed damn, at least try.

Tbf to him he was never remotely in the fight and was taking an absolute pasting. Probably best he did quit as he had no answer & was eating huge shots.

Pushing through the pain barrier isn't a thing alot of boxers of this current era do...
Compared to the olden era of boxers they look soft in comparison, how many fights in boxing this year have been either cancelled or rescheduled so far?
Carson Jones Lee Purdy, Seth Mitchell Johnathon Banks, Danny Garcia Zab Judah, Ricky Burns Velasquaz, Kell Brook Devon Alexander...
I can't ever recall that many happening all in space or what a couple of months...

That world title has been taken hostage I fear.

Haha yeah he'll stick to racking up title defenses in his hometown. I can't really blame him though, I mean if I was him I would milk it for all its worth.

He'll probably fight Garth Wood or Sam Soliman next, god help us.

This Camacho fight is pretty awful. Jesus.

Well...
That fight may happen but in Australia will Darren Barker be willing to go over there?
The guy I want Darren to fight is either GGG or Peter Quillin those are the dangerous fights.

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.
