I havent seen Beck fight but I've seen Barret fight a couple of times now and I think hes a pretty decent fighter. Not spectacular, but pretty solid all around. I think he'll KO this guy in 8-10.Comment

I agree. The only real knock against Beck is that he's built his record against terrible opposition. I mean really terrible opposition. Without a doubt, his toughest challenges were Rogerio Lobo, George Arias, and Taurus Sykes, and he went the distance with all of them but Lobo. He should have knocked out Arias, who was a natural cruiserweight and had been stopped by Fres Oquendo. All his other distance fights came early in his career when the fights were scheduled for four and six rounds. My point is, we don't really know how good he is, but he may not punch as hard as they say. Still, I'm gonna go with the up and comer in this match-up. After all, it's better to have unknown potential than known limitations. It'll be better for the division if Beck wins.Originally posted by DLTI think this will be a great matchup with both guys having alot to lose and gain. Who do you think will win. I think the fight is in Feb. I wouldve said Barrett before but I was really impressed with Beck the other night and now I dont knowComment

Why does everyone ignore the fact that Beck has been KD twice in his last four fights against Byron Polley 15-5 and Daniel Frank 15-9-1?Originally posted by whdempseyI agree.
