    Going on the Gevor fight I would assume that Macklin will win by clear ud.
    However thats the only fight of his I've seen so who knows.

    Gevor is a good fighter though. Not sure if Macklin has it in him to do that but he smashed Elcock, is Asikainen is slipping Macklin could pull it off.

    This 'Toney' is a spastic, his reasoning is stupid.

    maxklin has never really delivered has he.

    always flattered to deceive. :patsch

    hence the reason this one is a very big test.

    it's a fight he should win given home advantage and the fact this guy has also fallen short at european level before.

    if that was aimed at my post, the OP and me had a little back and forth on styles making fights a while back.

    Amin Asikainen´s main sparring for this fight have been decent EURO level middleweight Gennady Martirosyan, reining Russian super middleweight champion Konstantin Piternov, hot super middleweight prospect Niko Jokinen (6-0), and Swedish Olympian Patrick Bogere (4-0 as a pro).

    Who has Macklin sparred with?

    Have you actually watched Asikainen? He isnt world class and lets have it right it doesnt take much to be ranked 6th in the middleweight division anymore! MAcklin is heavy favourite but as you have documented asikainen can dig a little so always dangerous, but u cudnt be more wrong in your prediction.
