Manchester’s David Barnes shook away plenty of ring rust when posting a routine six-threes win over Slovakia’s Ivan Godor at Manchester’s Bowlers Arena on Friday night. Barnes had been out of action since his technical draw with Vivian Harris in March of last year.

Barnes was due to meet Bolton’s Rick Godding in a British welterweight title eliminator on Friday’s Coldwell Promotions bill only for Godding to fail the BBBoC’s check weigh-in, which left promoter Dave Coldwell scrambling around for a late-notice opponent. Step forward the 33-yer-old Godor, who slipped to 11-29-4 (6) after the defeat and was caught with increasing regularity once Barnes found his feet. [Click Here To Read More]
