Macklin will not be stopped by GGG, lets see how he does against a guy that he can't stop and can hit back.


However Macklin does slow late I fights, he's known for it, Martinez, Moore, etc, etc.

I'm skeptical on the guy also. I think him somewhat of a hype job whose wins thus far against sub par competition are blown way out of proportion so I'm not convinced. If he blows Matthew out like most say he's going to do then I'll move towards the wagon.

It is the accumulation of evidence. The amateur pedigree. The efficiency of his technique. Those short hooks and his natural marching of the opponents into corners.The testimony of sparring partners. The views of those who box,train and know the game. The opposition may not have been great but he has hardly been managed. He has been crying out for sterner competition and that speaks of confidence. He does not come across as arrogant and that will help him to not underestimate anybody. He has power in both hands and a killer instinct to finish people quickly. He can be hit but his chin appears OK so far and Macklin will be a step up, but GG is improving and I think Matthew has hit his peak already. By that I do not mean he is declining, far from it but Golovkin is already better and accelerating away. Will be a great fight though.
