is Darren Barker injured?

[palooka]

On a boxRec thread it was stated that the September Macklin v Barker is off; due to an injury to Barker.

Is this the case?

Cheers.

That's just Lirva/Bigh being a prick. Don't believe anything he/it says

I saw that thread when i was reading over there. I think it was robparmer who seems to have upset a few over here of late, he seems a strange lad

i can't comment on that but when i told him about Barker's text he corrected the thread immediately

Cheers Danny, that's exactly what I wanted to read.

It's definitely fight of the night

[palooka]

Thanks for clearing it up; really looking forward to it. hope both are in tip top condition

[Autobarn]

all the same he could be going into the fight with something wrong with him. like kessler when he came over and fought calzaghe.

It's a BIG risk if he's doing that, but Mick Hennesseys fighters don't have much choice these days (fcuk you ITV!!)

Welcome back Asterix

[soulboy]

Cant wait for this fight , Matty Macklin will knock him spark out.

IF there is something wrong with barker, any ideas what the problem is?

bunce said to livefight.com that barker apparently wants more time. weight woes, maybe? training with an injury that could hurt his chances of winning the fight?

certainly, barker will want to make the most of this opportunity and payday. and as such he and his team might deny anything is wrong, especially before the contest. a lot to gain from this fight. do we all believe he's going into the fight at the peak of his powers? or is it just a lot of shiit stirring?

regardless, should be an excellent fight.

If any of this crap is true which i highly doubt by the way, its to cushion the blow of losing to Macklin (if he does) and to have an excuse ready incase its a terrible early ko to try and save face.
If Barker or his team thought his supposed injury was going to jeopardize him winning this contest then they would pull him out for sure. Barker will need to be a 100% to beat macklin and he and his team know that. Dont mind the excuses that will be ready for sure (by both sides) and the end of the contest the best man will win at the end of the day and thats it.

barker has denied and if there's something wrong, it's being kept quiet. if a fighter has something wrong, he won't want ppl to know about it beforehand (for instance froch and his rib injury going into the pascal fight) before it's something that the opponent can exploit.

Read my post before you spout off. If EITHER fighter complains of injury as reason for the loss after the fight it is an excuse and thats all it is....
May the best man win. D

[Poncey]

[bennie]

Without Barker-Macklin, this bill drops to good from great.
