Matthew Macklin talks promoters, trainers and 'that' fight

Matt Macklin sparring and training at the wildcard makes complete sense. If you can't hack it in sparring with the other top fighters in the gyms by the time your at Matts level you aint goona make it.

 

K9 sparred Lee exlusively for the spinks fight i read.

 

And it did him the world of good. I haven't managed to get a recording of the fight but by all accounts K9 boxed very well. Lee / K9 would be great sparring for both of them.

 

My real point is good sparring is without a doubt a big plus. I would love to know who barker is sparring if anyone knows....

 

How long ago was it Spinks got dropped by his trainer? Was it long before this fight?

 

I'm sure he has brought people in for it. How good they are I've no idea. I'll take a wild guess that they aren't as good or varied as what will be available to Macklin though!

Macklin said it best when he said that the boxers in the wild card aren't there to help you, they are there to help themselves and impress for themselves. It makes sparring much more valuable by keeping you on your toes.
