WOW, What a fight !

Possible fight of the year so far in a british ring.

Quote from Moore "it could have been 2 mexicans in the ring".

I thought Moore fought a very intelligent fight, he invited Macklin forward, not that Macklin needed much invitation. When Moore backed off and against the ropes he used great latteral movement and shoulder defence to evade the power shots from Macklin. This ultimately lead to Macklin blowing himself out and Moore taking advantage of this in the later rounds by landing some really accurate blows that sapped the living soul out of Macklin. I especially thought Moore's inside work on the ropes was classic of early Tyson, the way he came up with sharp uppercuts after rolling around his opponent , coupled with sharp crosses really took it out of Macklin.
Dont get me wrong Macklin fought a brave fight but i had Moore winning all but two rounds, the first and eighth. The 9th round was a barnstormer and ultimately the turning point in respect to Macklins strength leaving him.

I wonder what effect the 15 rounds he done on the body bag with Billy Graham took out of him?

Moore to move onto european and world honours now, just hope he can reach those heights as i think he's an intelligent, tough fighter, and deserves all he gets. I Hope Macklin also recovers we from this and goes onto brighter things as he has the exciting style i like to see
