Darren Barker vs. Danny Butler
Middle Weight Commenwealth Title & Vacant British Title.
Darren Barker beat Danny Butler in Round 7 (RSF)
Saturday 28/11/2009
Brentwood, Essex
Broadcast Live ITV4
With an inexperienced, late substitute opponent across the ring, Commonwealth middleweight titlist Darren Barker added the British strap to his waist with a decisive, seventh round stoppage win over Danny Butler in Brentwood.
Barker (21-0, 14 KO) might have lost the first round on pure aggression and workrate from the eager Butler (18-3, 3 KO), but after that the fight was all "Dazzling" Darren. He punished Butler with a stiff jab, a great right hand behind it, and some fantastic body work. As the fight wore on, he more and more imposed his will, as he was clearly the physically stronger and more polished of the two fighters.
Butler, at just 22, gave all he had to give. He fought a 10-round loss to Darren McDermott merely two weeks ago, and was simply outclassed by Barker, who should be moving up to the European stage next, and if successful there, the world stage. Barker genuinely seems to have that sort of promise. He's already arguable as a top 10 middleweight in the world.
