According to Sky sports, this fight looks set to happen in the new year.

Very winnable fight for Barker.

Excellent news if true. I wonder if there will be a belt on the line given the absolute reluctance of Jr's team to face Martinez and the alleged stripping if Jr doesn't fight Martinez. Personally, I don't see Suliman stripping Jr but will be interesting to see.

As for this fight, it is very winnable for Barker, although you have to worry about it going to the cards and getting a fair shake. Good opportunity none the less. One things for sure is that Jr is no Martinez.

Can't see Barker winning this. Chavez Jnr is not as bad as made out by some and Barker would have to win this wide to get a decision. Barker doesn't have the power to score stoppages up at this level imo.

Would love to be proved wrong though

It's a big ask as JCC is improving with every fight but Darren's am experience could come into play here, he really is a good boxer when he gets into his flow, he will cause JCC all sorts of problems with his movement but would he get a decision out there? I hope he does it! Everybody tells me he's a genuine guy and works hos arse off in the gym so I really hope he does! GL to him ;-)
