Barker is not only a top athlete, he's a top human being! I remember hearing a story where a bloke was attacked by a group of men, Barker intervened to protect the bloke and was seriously set-about by 10 men. Barker was left unconscious, lost a lot of teeth and was left in a very bad way! Takes a hell of a man to do that! Barker is our no1 and he deserves this for him and his brother! Come on Dazzla!!

Barker is a gent, doesn't seem to have the dodgy past like a lot of boxers do.
Rooting for him though I think he might end up losing by MD.

Barker is the man, I hope he puts on a clinic Sat night and gains lots of fans along the way. Dapper Darren is climbing the stairway to stardom.

Really hope Darren can pull it off.

He's a great guy.
