Matthew Macklin on Martinez & other issues

I aways thought it was around 6 or 7 I don't think I got 8.

How old are you?

 

Yeah any info would be greatyle appreciated, never travelled abroad for a fight before. If you buy them from MSG do they send them out to you or do you pick them up from the arena?

Cool

 

****ing plastic paddy,should of never allowed to contest the british title if he's ''100 percent irish''

 

What does that make someone born and raised in Ireland? 200% Irish?

 

250 percent if they dont box for the british title, base themselves in ireland and only contest titles their ''true'' nationality allows them too.
He 'll get ****ing mullered anyway so all the paddys will be going back to their new york homes and their flights back to the uk with a sense of dissapointment.

 

honestly, macklin will never be truely accepted in ireland as an irishman. thats just a fact.

 

No fact, just your (inaccurate) opinion.

 

No probs with the Irish thing.I support any fighter from the British Isles.He is a decent man and a very good fighter.He has a shout in the Martinez fight in my opinion,the guy is not as great as people make out.Barker showed he can be made to look ordinary and if Macklin can avoid getting nailed by the same type of shot Barker did who knows.

 

What does it matter really?He was born in England so he has a right to fight for it.His parents are both Irish so that means he is as well but he was born in England,you could go on all day!!Fact is he can and he did.

 

I think Barker might have caught Martinez 'on the hop' and breaking his nose early certainly helped. I doubt he'll underestimate his opponent this time round. Tough fight for Macklin but hopefully he does it
