Darren seems a class fighter to me,be close I reckon Geale pts.

Probably location wins the fight. In Aus, Geale wins, in the UK, Barker wins.

it might be close, but i have to favour the local. Geale on points.

Barker's a classy boxer. Be a tough one for Geale.
Too close to call.

cmon any other thoughts??

Other thoughts.....hmmm....you have an un-natural man crush on Geale Lowie

I think that would be a very good fight for both parties Geale is coming of a loss and needs to get back on track and a win over Barker would be a good way to start, But Barker is a classy fighter who I think will go all the way he's strong and has good fundementals I see it being close but Barker knicking it with straight punches and winning by a round or 2

Mate i've never seen 2 identical fighters, both are lacking serious power, and they have an incredible % in punch accuracy;good defence and the ability to keep the same pace through 12 rounds.

I will say that Geale has had the better opposition by a stretch.

Crampton went the distance with Barker. Crampton would not survive in the same ring as Geale.

So really what you're saying there is a that Geale is a bigger puncher than Barker, not necessarily a better boxer. Cotto knocked out Judah, but Mayweather didn't. Who's better, Cotto or Mayweather?

Yeah I'm hearing you, i would like to see Crampton vs Geale.....but Crampton needs to string together a couple of good wins to justify the opportunity. He's lost to Joel Bourke and drew with a shot Dondon Sultan and is 2-1-3 from his last 6, against less than stellar opposition with the exception of Barker,Taliepai.
