Golovkin v Macklin June 29th

[ykdadamaja]

Guys are here talkin' smack about Sturm when Sturm beat Macklin not too long ago...

Funny thing is, on paper, Macklin will be the highest rated person that Golovkin will face. Aside from the WBA where he is champion, Golovkin isn't even ranked- dear God- but Macklin IS.


I would have much rather have seen a Sturm fight, or a Soliman fight if he was able.

This Macklin fight reeks of crappy boxing politricks. Instead of denouncing it, you guys are cheering on a wasteful event where the fans don't win!

There is nothing exciting about seeing an over-hyped fighter get hurt in the ring...

At least fight Martin Murray... at least he is the mandatory, or fight Sturm- who is the second ranked in the WBA. This Macklin fight makes no sense, at all...

Ykdadamaja doesn't watch fights he just comments on how shit fighters are without watching them fight. I wouldn't take his opinion on board.

I think it will be an entertaining fight with GGG getting a 7th or 8th round TKO.

Style wise this will be a barn burner, it will be very exciting whilst it lasts.

This Macklin fight does nothing for Golovkin. Minimum risk with little or no gain. The only spin on this will be the notion of comparison between Martinez and himself and can he use that to lobby himself into a Martinez Super-fight.


By all means, hurry and dispatch with the over-hyped tomato can!

did the macklin fight make sense to sturn and martinez at a much more establish point in their careers?

I'm really looking forward to this fight. Not sure if I've seen Golovkin really pushed back yet, and I think Macklin could actually do that. He throws ALOT of punches and I'm pretty confident he hits harder than Rosado, who managed to land some decent clean shots on Golovkin and mark him up. Another point also, Macklin really works the body really well early when he gets inside so if he can be clever inside letting the shots go and covering well when needed, Golovkin could take some decent body shots early to make the fight interesting later.

I say this is a great test for GGG for sure, with maybe a late stoppage win for Golovkin or Macklin taking it on the cards being the busier guy. Macklin does a bunch better than the Light Middleweight Rosado anyway IMO.

That's not the point. The point is that perhaps Macklin would have been dominated in the fight anyways by either of them. I just don't think Macklin is the gate-keeper for anyone.

This coming from a guy that has warmed up to Tyson Fury, quite a great deal too!

You have just massively undermined your own argument. Most Brits and anyone else who has the first clue about boxing can see that Fury is much closer to being a bum or tomato can than Macklin. When you make ill informed sweeping statements accusing all British fighters of being feather fisted and then call Macklin a bum you should not be surprised if people don't take your judgement seriously. Ya bum.
