Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
It was a programme of Froch's build up to the fight. Of course they were going to show the parts of the spar that make him look on top. It could well be that froch smashed barker in the sparring session but if Barker had the better of it I'm sure it would of been edited out for the programme.

Well on The Gloves Are Off The Middleweights special he described facing Carl Froch during sparring is a nightmare even 16oz gloves.TopGun wrote:...on ringside last week? I appreciate it is only a short clip but Barker was getting smashed all over the ring.

Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
I bet sparring him in 16's is a nightmare, Groves hit him as clean as possible with 10's on and the genetic freak still came forward, he must be nigh on impossible to push back in sparring with the big gloves & head guard on!! Plus on a side note did I hear Tony Sims say it was Barkers 1st spar back??IRLangmaid25 wrote:Well on The Gloves Are Off The Middleweights special he described facing Carl Froch during sparring is a nightmare even 16oz gloves.TopGun wrote:...on ringside last week?

My money is on him coming back with the Belts. (If I was a Gambler)mullenman wrote: he is not coming home from germany with the belts
Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
Yeah sims did mention it was his first spar back & it's known froch don't hold back & is a bully in sparring & I don't think groves helped matters saying barker is a better fighter then froch ha!
Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
i wouldnt take anythin from them short clips and to be honest i dont know why froch got barker in as a sparring partner cause barker isnt anything like groves
Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
Tbh they didn't show Barker throw a punch i'm sure he gives as good as he gets.
Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
Let's be honest Froch is on a different level to Barker. You shouldn't even be talking about sparring!! Froch never even got hit and could of finished Barker at anytime. Anyone that Froch gets a free shot on will get seriously hurt. Please think about what you are putting on these forums your all making a fool of yourselves
Re: Anyone notice Barker getting smashed by Froch in sparring
Only 2 fights announced for the Barker show, one of them a women's fight and there's a four rounder with some 2-0 German kid. Will anything be added to the card? If that's it I'd be very surprised, with so little announced so close to the fight you start to worry about cancellations.

Eddie Hearn must have a hand in this shit. You know it wouldn't surprise me if there was a secret 4th clause in the negotiation for this fight.expe wrote:Only 2 fights announced for the Barker show, one of them a women's fight and there's a four rounder with some 2-0 German kid.

1- Rematch clause.
2- Neutral officials.
3- A huge purse.
4- A shithouse undercard.
