Comments Thread For: Saunders Hopes To Land Title Crack at Darren Barker

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS plans to snatch pal Darren Barker’s IBF middleweight title. The Romany Gypsy defends his British title against John Ryder at London’s Copper Box Arena tomorrow night.

And he hopes that victory in that will lead to a title challenge against Barker, who became world champion by defeating Daniel Geale last month.

Saunders, 24, said: “Not only is Darren a good fighter, he’s a cracking fella. No-one deserves it more after what he’s been through.

“From a personal viewpoint, it makes it easier for me if there’s a world middleweight title to aim for in this country, rather than having to travel to the USA, Germany, Australia or wherever.

That's the bad thing about Barker winning. A lot of these Brit ham and eggers are going to think they can get a title shot now.

Saunders wouldn't be anywhere in the running if Geale had won.

Saunders would give Barker all he could handle, but he's still 2-3 fights away from a world title shot. I doubt Barker hangs onto his title for 2-3 defences unless he's matched very carefully and has home advantage.
