i see this as a similar situation as when bute fought froch
bute was looking good knocking everyone out and froch was seen as the underdog despite being the man who had been in the ring with much the better quality
there are a few differences tho
Froch is generally harder than macklin
GGG hits harder than bute
i think macklin has a much better chance in this than a lot of people are making out
That time my money was on Froch
This time my money is on GGG
I think Macklin has the ability to put him under pressure which will make it interesting. I still think Golovkin looks like a fighter that could crumble when things go against him. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if Macklin was bombed out early, Golovkin really does look a sicko puncher.

I think Golovkin will iron him out inside 8 rounds. I just hope Macklin puts him under it, to see how Golovkin reacts, before getting flattened.
Under dog? I have Macklin as favorite.
GGG hasn't fought nearly the same quality. His best scalp? Gzregorz Proksa probably.
yeah he hasnt really fought anyoneQuote:

Macklin wont try to pressure Golovkin, he will be cautious like he was vs Sergio and perhaps moreso. As soon as he opens up he leaves himself vulnerable to the counter attack of the more powerful, quicker man and he gets taken out.
I dont see his fight lasting too long.
Yh mate, Proksa was literally my favorite fighter, until he came to my country fora fight :) and was out pointed by Kerry Hope, a middle weight with 1 knockout on his record in 23 fights :(Quote:

Matthew gets hit to much and will be right there in front of him but GGG will be right there also. I'm eager to see if he can grind one out. Should he prevail I hope Barker deals with Geale and then gets a shot at the indestructible one.
Golovkin late stoppage or points win.
GGG blasts a very game Macklin out by round 5, should be a tear up :)
You're not suppose to bring a knife to a gun fight. Macklin doesn't have the firepower to beat Golovkin. This should end sooner than the Proksa fight
Haha Macklin fav you crazy bastard. Whos Macklins best scalp? Asikainen? Varon? Proksa is still better then them. Id love to see Macklin do it but Golovkin beats him in every department, strenght, speed, boxing skills, experience.Quote:

Not knowing alot about either young man I think Mack acquited himself against Sergio very well and deserves props for chasing him all over the ring! GGG I've seen twice and he looks pretty well schooled and he seems to have heavy hands as advertized!
I know that GGG has excellant supervision and his team is a well prepared unit!! I'm hoping for a hard fought bout and I'm leaning towards GGG to win and to stop Mack around the 6th! Ray.
Gratz to those who got this fight right.
Good call!Quote:
