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.

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??

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!

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

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.

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