I've got a mate who's raving about a Sheffield-based amateur called Steve Barnes Jnr.
I've seen some footage and he reminds me a bit of a young southpaw version of Ricky Hatton - looks really strong and throws good combinations and goes to the body effectively.
Anyone know anything about him or seen him box, especially you Sheffield lads?
I think he fights for Manor ABC at around the 60kg mark.

Saw hi box at weekend over in Hull and he looked awful, just scraped through by a point.

Wouldn't compare him to Ricky Hatton and from what i've seen he's got a long way to go. Heard he's gone backwards and looked a better fighter two years ago when he was at the Ingle gym.

I only saw a minute clip from the fight, so accept it might be out of context, but during that he seemed to be knocking the guy all over the place. Was throwing a lovely right hook to the body out of a southpaw stance and forced a standing count.
Did you see him box the previous week? If so, how did he look then?
