Ben Crampton info?

[Old bones Ian]

Ben Crampton is fighting Darren Barker for the Commonwealth title in a few weeks, and i wanted to know what the Aussies thought of Crampton, what style he fights in?

[razor7]

barker & crampton both have good records which look padded. barkers boxrec info on his opponents has more red than the blood bank and crampton has hardly had a career bursting with activity. This one looks like a lottery bet with the hometown advantage to favour barker.

mate i just watched barker on dvd his opponent was 1-3 but the kid dose look good,but no better than crampton wood fighting the same bloke.crampton to fly the aussie flag high .can anyone tell me if we can see this fight on fox in the clubs?

[TCboxa]

THe fights not being telecast in aussie, unless you can get sky. I think the UK guys only get that channel, the one the clubs get is sky racing which isnt the same channel, i think there is a sky sports.

The only other way to get the fight is to download it from a torrent site after the fight has finished, i dnt think it will be on aussie TV for some time.

I also watched barkers vs the 1-3 kid, he looked good but anyone would look good against an opponent with such a poor record like that. One thing i did find amusing about Barker is that he packed his bags & went home early from sparring with Kessler, i guess Kessler was hurting him too much.

Thats rubbish by the way Darren went home because his eye was swollen and he had a fight six days later common sence to go home i would say. Darren to stop ben late on

[middleman]

great for barker the fight with crampton is in his backyard he wont have far to walk home after crampton give's him a boxing lesson and a few more of thouse black eye's.

[simonsays]

I honestly dont think crampton has a chance I have followed Barker for years and he is class the real deal! Who has ben been sparring with no one in kesslers league i bet!!!

[middleman]

your prob right,kessler is 1 of the best,but crampton is not to be taken lightly and is well matched up with barker and has the ability to match him and be right is this 4 a long way.no disrespect 2 darren if he beats crampton he is beating 1 of best middles in aust, at the moment

[tilly69]
