Golovkin v Macklin June 29th

[TheMacMagician]

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.

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?

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.

Most Brit boxing fans are blinded by their blatant nuthugging... Fury has a better chance against Wlad or Vitali than Macklin does against Golovkin or Martinez, or even Sturm or Soliman.

Macklin is a damn tomato can. Hasn't been in the ring with any noteworthy name and won. Face it, he is a hyped up tomato can.

This Brit poump and bombast over shit fighters really needs to stop.

Macklin beat up a few taxi cab drivers and dishwashers from the South-west or from Sheffield, and all of a sudden he is a contender? lololol....


GTHOOH!!!!!!

[Dark Lord Al]

Macklin fought well against Sturm and Martinez , yes he lost but i found both fights enjoyable. You call him a tomato can.

Fury hasnt fought anybody in the top class , when he does you will see he is a tomato without the can.
He is a far worst fighter at HW than Macklin is at MW.

Hang on are you retarded? Seriously? Macklin lost a SD to Sturm in Germany. Did you watch the fight? I actually think Macklin did enough to win the fight. Since then Sturm has looked average at best against Murray, Geale and Solimon. Macklin on the other hand did a good job against Martinez and was impressive against Alcine, who had just shocked Lemieux.

To say Fury has a better chance against Vlad then Macklin has against Sturm is just retarded. I have no doubt now that you don't watch fights and just go by rankings and belt holders which mean nothing.
