Darren Barker did tremendously well to beat Daniel Green,who is a good fighter,to get up from that uppercut to the solar plexus took some doing,and full respect. Hopefully ,now he can go and make himself a pile for the future .

He done even better to beat Daniel Geale.
Great and gutsy performance, throughly deserved.
Britain lose one Word Champ but gain another one on the same night.

Great performance from Barker. I'm suprised by the lack of media coverage for such a feat. It's a very competitive division where the likes of Murray and Macklin have come close but Barker goes one step further.
Eddie Hearn was commenting that his next fight will be against Felix Sturm which is a good fight although Felix is not the figher he used to be.

Exciting division, great depth which should provide more exciting fights.
Fantastic victory for Barker, I stumbled home just before the ring entrances and woke the house up cheering him on . Honestly thought he was finished when he got floored but showed unbelievable heart to get up from that.
Hopefully he can make a few good defences and stay injury free
