Interested to get all your thoughts on who will prevail in this fight on Sunday at the De Veres Hotel, Bolton?

Barnes looking to re-establish himself by having a 'name' on his CV. Could lead to bigger things.

Harris, yes a faded force but he's not coming all the way over here to get whacked about.

Unbeaten light heavyweight Matty Clarkson on undercard and the debut of Hosea Burton.

Tickets available on the door £30

£60 for Ringside.

A cracking afternoon's boxing for a non-TV show.


Cheers

How far gone is Vicious Viv, do you think?

Aye, you're right there.

If he has 60% left, I say he wins.

My take is that he has slipped enough for Barnes to win. A prime Harris would beat Barnes IMO.

Harris is pretty far gone from what I have seen of him recently, while Barnes himself is past his best but I go for Barnes on points or late stoppage here...

Harris is shot. He hasn't won in years and I've seen him in the gym and he gets knocked about.
Way passed his best. Stoppage win for Barnes. Good name on his record though but means nothing as Harris hasn't won in forever.

hopefully barnes pulls this off, harris might be past it but hes still been mixing with top opponents. It would be good to beat a former world title holder and put his name right back in the mix.

Prime Harris would easily defeat Barnes.

Something about this fight makes me want to compare it to watching a race between an old champion horse, who has only three legs, & one which was never much good anyway; you might be transfixed for the duration, but there's a large possibility that you're only watching to see if the rest of the horse's legs fall off.

A three legged horse I think Harris would have to tie a hand around his back to equal that handicap. It's true though it's all about how badly has Harris declined rather than a gauge of how good Barnes performs

Shows starts at 3, anyone know main even start time ?

Draw- Barnes suffered bad cut from accidental headbutt. 48-48.

how did the fight look until the stoppage?

Started off slow apparently and was just picking it up when the clash happened.
