Macklin agrees to march 17 bout with Martinez

[ElTerribleMorales]

Marquez will find Macklin easier than Barker. Good style match-up for him. Should be an exciting fight whilst it last though.

Think i'd rather see Macklin-Lee.

didn't know Marquez was campaigning at Middleweight now lol

i hate to say it but i think it will probably be over before 8

(haven't even got the excuse of booze, Martinez/Marquez/Macklin, clearly just a div )

Is the consensus among the British fans here that Barker is better than Macklin?

Nope. I reckon it'd be quite divided. They are of a similiar standard for me. I like Macklin better though

[ElTerribleMorales]

I'm not British but I wouldn't say that Macklin is better or worse than Barker, it's just he's a straight forward brawler and his style suits Martinez a lot better than Barker who is a tall, rangy, crafty technical fighter with a very good jab

[FinitoElDinamita]

I agree with Terrible that Macklin's style matched up better with Sturm but overall, I believe Macklin is a better fighter than Barker..

Macklin will accomplish more as a MW..

After Macklin loses in a brave effort he will fight Barker.
