Southpaw Barker outscored Terry Kennard in the London ABA finals in 1980 as opposed to 'Derry' Kennard.

Cheers, John. Terry Barker is the father of Darren and the man who licked John Lyon in the 1980 ABA finals at Wembley. Lyon came back to win a record eight ABA titles so it is an astonishing win for Barker who won by a landslide but dropped out of the sport when he discovered there was more to life than boxing: he fell in love. I was at Chapel Street market one day with Chris Sanigar, who was selling t-shirts, and this little fella was walking around, cracking jokes with everyone. It was Terry.

P.S. Nope it isn't me but I did watch him fight. :salut:
