Referee interfering a bit too much. Macklin up by a couple for me ...but neither looking great. Macklin not landing the combos like he was in earlier rounds.
Macklin is just spoiling his work, charging in with his head and not doing a great deal. Was landing good right hooks earlier on but hasn't continued to do so. Rose is winning, but he really does have powderpuff power. Not a chance he goes beyond domestic level.
After 9 I have it about level on points but can't deny Macklin is fading badly now, all the momentum is with Rose here.
These rounds are close but I just can't score them for Macklin. 7-2 Rose, 88-73. My card does look very wide but if you win the close round then you win them. Sometimes cards don't reflect how close a fight was.
Rose is starting to mark up horribly himself....that point off was a bit severe...ref not great for me
Agreed, but Macklin has never been any better then Euro level - he lost to Andrew Facey never mind being destroyed by the G Monster
