i think macklin would beat hearns, i dont see him beating sturm but i hope he does
I do too. I want the Sturm era to end as soon as possible or we'll have another 5 years of the middleweight champion fighting nobody's in Germany. I see Pirog going the same route, which is a shame. One key fight in the US (Danny Jacobs) and he's content to fight in Russia against subpar competition. Titov Talks Dmitry Pirog, Provodnikov, Gusev and More - Boxing News

War Macklin.
