He's not bad mate..Can definitly dig..I'd love the match personally..I don't care how good someone is you can't fight with your chin in the air like he does and expect to tay unbeaten..Him and Cleverly will be exciting but I think Nathan should be too fit and work too hard for him.. :TU:

I like him - he's cocky but can fight a little. He was in a lot of trouble against Spartacus and nearly got beat, but I think that was more to do with fatigue other than chin problems. If he get's his fitness spot on, then I wouldn't rule him out as a future European champion.

yeah, I don't know why Mcintosh gets criticised for that performance, SS isn't a bad opponent for his 7th fight or whatever it was at the time.

it wasn't encouraging watching him telegraph all his shots v barney. granted barney didn't want to fight, but shouldn't everyone been prepared for spoiler tactics? that fight looked shoddy all round, i felt it made everyone involved look bad.

Counter-puncher,

Yeah, I agree. It was a proper learning fight against a step-up in opponent. If it was easy the dude wouldn't have learnt anything.

Just hope he learns from that Spartacus fight, which against Anderton and Barney, he looks like he has.

I would prefer for McIntosh to fight at least once more before fighting Cleverly, but if they fought tomorrow, I would go for a Clev UD.

Barney won one round for me. I thought it was a decent display against someone who didn't want to fight. McIntosh was never going to look good there. I was happy with how he dealt with someone of the ilk of Barney - I am certain he learned from it.

meh, Matthew Barney in shoddy fight shocker. 'barn i wouldn't read much into McIntosh from that.if he fights 70 times as a pro i doubt he'll face anyone who poses such a, ahem, unique set of problems. what dioufy just said basically :lol:

dioufy, aye, i'd have to back Cleverley to outbox him, i think Clev would have the range on him with his jab and that alone would give Mc. problems i think. Clev's got better offensive variety than Mc, better selection of shots and combinations and works the body better i think. will be interesting to see what Clev's chin is like if Mc. checks it with his best shot, though. :TU:

I don't care that people will think that me and CP are having a loving session here. Get your own rooms.

And yeah, cleared off the line in the last minute. 4-4 would've been funking amazing.

Heart-broken.
