12 or 15 Rounds Middleweight and Super Middleweight Bout

Eubank would out-box the Blade with long jabs and combinations to either take a decision or late round stoppage at both middleweight and super middleweight or would Barkley took longer than his first Hearns to catch Eubank off the ropes, then nailing him with heavy punches to stop him in late rounds. What do you guys think and who do you got?

It was exactly the fight Eubank needed on his resume....although the Benn/Watson rivalry was excellent.

With Eubank it is just so hard to know what he could've really done and where his level was actually at and that's massively frustrating into the bargain.

Benn beat Barkley, so Eubank beats Barkley feels a bit simple.

Eubank definitely had tools to outbox Barkley and most likely he would utilize those successfully.

It's one of those styles makes a fight contest.
Iran has boxed high world level level fighters so he's in the game.
Put him up against a boxer like Eubank and he could get picked apart.
Could argue this one all day.
For now ... Eubank Decision

I also really like it as a match-up....nice pick Scorpio

Thanks Bodyshot

My first thought is Eubank pts. Then again, maybe Barkley would roughhouse his way to a pts win. Hard one to call.

You're welcome Scorpio...it deserves some discussion.
Better than the endless pick and mix fights the thread is cursed with

I figure Eubank would've taken most rounds against Barkley. Barkley might've been able to successfully rough him up enough to take 3 to 4 rounds, but Eubank would take a UD.
