    Macklin can do it. When Sturm covers up, hes got to bomb that guard, break it open and touch his head and body. Enough of that and over 12 rounds he could get that belt.

    Sturm has massive arms and fists though and his guard seems to cover all his body and head. Hard to get through!

    Barker referred to Macklin as an Englishman in the studio tonight, which raised a bit of a wry smile from Macklin. I thought they were a good combination tonight - Sky should get them back on together.

    No he's not, he just wanks a lot over German poo porn for increased hand muscle mass

    I can't see Macklin beating Sturm - it is a big ask, especially in Germany.

    Out of Rhodes, Barker and Macklin.... I believe Macklin has the best chance to their respected world title bouts, hope he does but doubt it.

    Only Matthew Macklin could raise a wry smile at someone calling him what he is the pathetic plastic paddy!!!

    Someone should remind him, Its a long way to Tipperary from Birmingham;)

    MACKLIN, ONCE UPON A TIME WAS A GOOD TECHNICAL BOXER, BUT TO LONG IN THE HATTON CAMP TURNED HIM INTO A FACE FIRST BRAWLER, I CAN NOT GENUINELY SEE HOW MATHEW CAN BEAT FELIX :rofl, STURMS DEFENCE IS BETTER, HE IS BETTER OVER THE 12 ROUND DISTANCE, AND I CAN HONESTLY SEE MACKLIN GETTING KNOCKED OUT LAST 3RD OF THE FIGHT, AND I'LL EVEN CALL THE SHOT.............. LEFT HOOK;). I HOPE I'M WRONG BUT DON'T THINK I WILL BE:think

    :lol:

    he used to be the UK answer to Oscar de la Hoya, according to SKY back in the day!

    The quicker Tipperary Mac the Tornado knife gets Jamie Moored again the better, his ego is out of control nowadays.

    Thats true, he gave up a large portion of his career to basically be hattons main sparring partner. Should've concentrated abit earlier really. Anyway i hope he has caught sturm at the right time and brings the belt back
