still a relative novice ...hes had a british elim and now goes for the english super feather ....a 12 rounder ...with only 12 fights.
hes a slick boxer with all the skills...and a great amatuer
what do you guys think of the way Nice Warren is handling him ?

I think Warren is handling him well the Crolla fight was a risk putting him in with another relative novice with a bright future he's not ready for a British yet but an English title would be good for him I really rate him and think he can go all the way. Bit of a question mark over the staminia looked spent after the 10 rounds with Crolla but I think he'll overcome that

An English title fight is 10 rounds.
His fight with Crolla was top quality, could have gone either way, but other than that (except perhaps Harry Ramogoadi) he has fought the typical "journeyman" opponents - A typical allegedly route.
So yeah, this English title fight will tell us a lot more, should be a good one to watch. Barrett is more experienced, and will push him, I'm sure. Barrett appears to be around English/WBU world level, so yeah, a well made match.

The English title is almost always fought for over 10 rounds. I don't see why this fight would be over 12 rounds instead.

Here we go again, blaming Warren for everything!
He has nothing to do with Gary Sykes and never has had, nor did he ever try to have!

I don't think so. Who got fined? I can assure you you are completely off the mark.
