He really showed up at his last fight and he will be watched closely by a lot of fans as he takes the ring again.
Up to this point, Barry is 5-1 in his career, and is not an extremely experienced fighter. For Mirko Filipovic in this fight, this will be an advantage.

It was not expected that in this fight, sports betting favorite, Mirko Filipovic would fight Barry. Most thought that, on Ben Rothwell, he would take on. They were scheduled to fight several events ago, but the fight never took place. This fight still hasn’t come, and that leaves Barry as his foe.
