I'm English and I sincerely hope Darren pulls it off , but geale is so under rated . He will completely out work Darren and win a clear points victory .
Good luck though

think he's overrated personally. Sturm was a good stylistic match up and he's getting too much credit for catching him at the right time. Barker to stop him at 6s for me.

Not a guaranteed bet at all. This fight is going to be close, I think Barker could get it. There is so many factors for this fight that are not going to come into the equation. No one is at home, so close rounds could go either way. This is a 50-50 without a doubt in my eyes.

What does hagler say about this bet

Far too many variables for me to be getting involved with my hard earned m8.

So I say stop away from it, enjoy the fight and cheer on the home fighter.

Ive backed him but by no means nailed on.

I'm for a Barker/Buckland double pays exactly 2/1 with skybet

This will be a close fight I reckon. Geale works hard and Barker slows down as fight go late. Just leaning towards Geale on points I think.

Nice reply hagler . Good advice

Barker doesn't have to worry about heavy shots coming his way but I get the feeling he'll have real trouble landing cleanly on Geale.

Geale and Barker are very even and I just went with the most value.

Geale for me, just for the fact that I think we tend to over-rate our home fighters. I said it in the other thread, when you look at their respective records then this is actually a step up for Barker whereas Geale has been fighting fairly decent sorts for a while now.

I have to be honest, I was one of the first saying I didnt really rate Geale but I decided to watch his rematch with Mundine again and he did a lot of good things. He isnt a particularily hard puncher but he's got decent speed *without being exceptional*, a high work rate and moves his head a decent amount as he's coming in to land his shots. Having watched the fight again I fancy Geale to nick it on points.
