Matthew Macklin on prep for Ruben Varon and a world title route

From Digbeth to Dublin

 

Isnt Varon the mandatory challenger?

 

only that there are more Irish in Digbeth then Dublin these day!

 

10 million watching Lee-Duddy? Ireland has flourished since I left it....

Macklin would destroy Lee. Duddy should take another big payday (hopefully against Lee) and then retire before he gets hurt.

 

Macklin would get knocked cold by Lee , thats going to be easy money for me as ive seen nearly every single fight of both fighters and Lee would stop Macklin right now.

 

really? why do you say that Barry?

 

LOL.

From 1:30 he bursts into an irish accent?

 

He is no where near it mate. The no.14 ranked challenger. Im starting to warm to Macklin but this is a poor fight. Belgecham and Jomardashvili are better opponents.

The mandatory is still Barker. Next in line after him would be Mahir Oral

 

well if it aint gettin me excited then I think that proves that its a pish enough match.

 

was that u at the haye harrisson weigh in with the brown bag and camera

i saw u outside aswell, i was gona pop over for a chat:hey

 

twas aye, you should have come over. :good

 

u looked kinda busy mate. next time tho:hey:good

 

Lee has all the advantages.
1. He is taller with a much better reach.
2.He has faster hands.
3. He is the harder puncher.
4.He is a much better counter puncher with better timing.= more kos
5.His foot work and foot speed is also better.
6.He can fight going backwards thanks to his better amateur career.
7.He can hook off the jab, which is a skill Macklin cant do.
8.He has better feints than Macklin and is very good at blinding his opponents with the jab and going to the body.
9. His chin is better as Lee has never been down or sparked cold.
10. Andy is very good two handed fighter Macklin is not.

You know Macklin personally obviously and thats why you back him as the no.1 Irish Middle.
I dont know Lee and have never met him , nor do i want to. Im only interested when he sticks on the gloves.
Ive no reason to be biased towards him only the fact i think he is the best Irish Middle.

 

I've no bias toward any of them. I know all three to varying degrees, not just Macklin. All three very different but very likable characters in their own way. I aint choosing out of an bias.

I agree with you about one thing, Lee has probably the most potential but it is as yet unrealised.

Macklin has proven more at this stage.
