Lee beat Mckay on points. Barker stopped him in the sixth. Basing it on boxing ability I don't understand how you could say Lee is superior.... Barker is quicker, more precise and would have Lee out of there inside twelve rounds.

I reckon Barker would beat Lee quite handily. He should win this title with something to spare and then hopefully step up the level of comp as the year goes on.

Lee dropped mckay in the second round then mckay retired in the 6th round on his stool after a horrid beating from the 22 year old ,check boxrec you tool.

Good job for Barker, pity it took Matchroom to give him the opportunity

I think you will find that McKay retired in the 6th against Andy Lee, the exact same as Barker.

Is this the same Lee who took a hiding from journeyman Brian Vera?

Fair enough my mistake! Well if you have watched the both (which you probs have) then you should clearly see Barker's the better boxer.

And I don't think Lee has been down in his career.

Only one way to find out. Barker will beat Belghecam, first defense should be Lee if he declares an interest in the fight, going by slapbangs quote earlier, he seems to fancy facing Barker.

No lee never has.... i wonder would barkers chin take lees power?

barker might of been down early in his career but he shown a will to win them fights, did lee show the same desire when vera stopped him on his feet

No the ref stopped the fight while lee landed a two punch combination.

Do you think that he showed a lack of desire in that fight?

no but he let himself get dragged in to a slugfest against vera if hed have boxed it would of been a easy nights work for him, barker has matured a lot as a fighter and think he'd use his better boxing brain to beat lee

Lee was a stupid kid when he lost to vera thats all. He would ko barker these days.......

a stupid kid who people where saying would beat kelly pavlik and that lee was the best middleweight in the world, wel see how good lee is when he starts moving forward with his career

Stunning news for Barker! I hope he keeps hold of the British title and tries to win the Lonsdale belt outright too.

All of sudden Barker's career has taken a sharp incline, now it's time for Darren to do his bit and grab the EBU title with both hands.

Lee beat the guy barker is fighting next hes already ahead of barker in my eyes.....

lee got beat by vera who lost to codrington so does that mean codrington is ahead of lee, boxing doesn't work like that

It gets more brainless and brainless in here - you two should be banished to the Current Scene forum.

A. Did you see the Vera-Lee fight?

B. Vera is not much but better than anything Barker has faced.

No need to be sorry big man, we all have our opinions. But only one of us is right!

'people' as in Manny Steward. Lee thought he had beaten Vera before he got into the ring. He wasnt focused and had a lot of furshizzle going on outside the ring at the time.

Since then. More to follow after I put this article together this weekend.

is this on the Harrison v sprott card?
