WelshDevilRob Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Steve Kim writes for Maxboxing. Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DannyFlexen - is he as boring as Darren Barker? If so, pass Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing luckily for me Im not in this TOUGH sport to impress you but to provide for my family and I'm succeeding in doing that! Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - imagine what you could've done that night if you wouldve taken some chances and tried to actually win? Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing it's a lot more difficult actually getting in the ring then it is writing about it so whatever you say hot shot! Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - as long as your never going to be back in American airwaves.... good. Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing well that's not what I'm hearing so again luckily for me you won't have to watching or report on the fight! Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - no lucky me, I don't have to watch you, actually... Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - don't disagree, but still, I'm glad I never have to see you again in the States. Now ,Macklin.... Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing well when me and macklin finally get it on I will find you and laugh in your face when I beat him which is a certainty! Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - which is fine, but he's back fighting in the States on a big show because of his effort vs Martinez, I applaud him Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing and hbo want me back out but I had an hip opoeration which has kept me out! Plus macklins with dibella (a US promoter!) Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - HBO wants you back? Really? Says who? You and Martinez did a low rating- that's a fact Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing it's fact iv sat down with them! I was an unknown quantity before that fight but not anymore! Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 - lets hope on behalf of US audiences that's not true Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @stevemaxboxing shame cos DAZZLING DARREN "BAKER" is going to pollute your airways again! And I'm so happy that angers you! #TeamBarker Darren barker @DarrenBarker82 @GatecrasherUA @stevemaxboxing keep typing "keyboard warrior" I'm just going to check my bank balance to cheer myself up! Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing @DarrenBarker82 @GatecrasherUA - again, good luck with that, I'm sure you will. I just hope its not on HBO's dime in our country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 What a bell! But then Barker should know better than to bite to some no mark boxing writer. I like Barker, nice lad he comes across as. Needs to be careful what crap he spouts on twatter though. Might make himself look foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemurphy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Steve Kim's one of the bigger boxing writers over here, I'm disappointed that he doesn't know better than to engage in a dialogue like this. I'm not sure what his problem with Barker is, most everyone I talked to gave him high marks and wouldn't mind seeing him again..........I don't think HBO needs Steve Kim to speak for them, they do fine on their own.

iamasadlittleboy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I saw this on...another site a few days ago, shocked by how many said they will avoid Max boxing in the future...then again only a certain Welshman is actually worth reading on that site anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skav Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Kim's quite well known in boxing from what I've heard and I don't think he realises how embarrassing that script is above. Although Barker saying he was going to check his bank balance to cheer himself up was a twattish thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skav- Neither one has much to be proud of from the exchange, but Kim threw the first spitball.......and that was after being taken by surprise that his cheap shot at Barker was seen by the man himself and drew a response. I think he got embarrassed and then decided to "act tough' for appearance sake. Some people, INCLUDING professional writers on occasion, shouldn't use twitter.

WelshDevilRob Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I can't find any fault with Darren Barker - he's just replying to a snide comment from a writer. I'm not familiar with Steve Kims work as its not a site I pay any attention to though once joined the forum (but back then I joined every forum) Does he make a habit of putting down fighters?

He doesn't shut up! He doesn't watch the fights except the main event. Nice enough guy but annoying as hell - when your trying to take notes and score rounds and he wants to talk about Holyfield or anyother well known fighter rather than the fight that is on.

No, that's the surprising thing, I always held him in pretty high estem and this is out of character to be engaged in a petty exchange, I have no idea what his problem with Barker is.....other than he got caught by surprise that his cheap shot got noticed by the target.

irondave85 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Aside from his blatant favouritism towards Top Rank, I am a fan of Kim's work and find him to be one of the better internet boxing writers. While I don't necessarily agree with the way he went about the spat with Barker, at least he stuck to his opinion and didn't lick arse like Bunce would have.

The social media should be just that, when it gets mixed with professional pursuits then trouble ensues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
