IF THE FIGHT GOES AHEAD WHO WINS?

Barker much to smart, similar to Mitchell v Murray

Would be a cracker. Murray's cleverer than he looks.

Just feel Barker is a little too slick and won win by decision...

I think he would run out of ideas against barker, your all see what a performance barker had against Martinez once he knocks out macklin early.

hard fight but barker to classy for murray, murray although he got the draw against sturm (who i had 2 points up) is still the 3rd best middle with macklin (i had a point up against sturm) being number 2

Barkers performance against martinez was nothing special, people give him credit for not gettin ko'd early, but he basically jus stayed in his shell for most of the fight. I agree i think macklin will be over quicker but that i think will be down to macklin leaving himself open. I think murray would wear him down with a mid to late stoppage. I dont think barker wants any part of murray.

I'd favour Barker by a narrow unanimous decision but I think it could get very interesting in the final third of the fight...

Barker on points.

What are you talking about, barker was winning the fight clearly after 9 rounds

barker nice boxer good pro murray same but got more in his locker all round i think murray will take him into the trenches and stop him late on . good match but i think barkers just past his prime murray on the rise and not reached his best yet

Can you not see murrays hunger he will fight anyone and will level to anyone , barker would be dismantled inside 8

I'd favour Murray in this one. Be interesting to see if the bookies make Barker slight favourite. I'd be backing Murray for sure if he was Evens or better.

Murray by TKO rounds 9-12.

I think Murray would come from behind to win by late stoppage.

Hard one to call...I'd go for a Murray points win. I reckon Barker would shade the first half of the fight but Murray would keep up the pressure for the full distance and take it on a close but unanimous decision.

Barker would have to much craft and grind out a points decision

I dont think Barker could grind out a wank, I dont dislike him just think he shit out in the martinez fight, i would have preferred him to go out on his shield and opened up a bit more not jus get cuffed and go down. Fair enough im not takin the punches so i dont know exactly how he was feelin or what effect the punches had on him, but from a fans point it looked as though he just thought "fornicate it iv done better than i thought", i think Barker would propbly take an early lead because of his hand speed and skill but think murray would be relentless in hunting him down and once barker slowed up it would be game over.

Two middle of the road middleweights,ill go for the draw!!!!
