Nicking this off general forum Dan rafael says macklin vs lee set for may 11th Not sure on this coming off but would be good clash of styles
:huh atsch :-( On a serious note though i'm going to be EXTREMELY pissed off if this doesn't happen in Ireland as we don't get enough noteworthy fights over here as it and this is a HUGE domestic fight.
yeah some bloke from birmingham against some **** paddy who went life and death with craig mcewan this has all the makings of a walk over:tired
Macklin stops him IMO. Booth will ask Lee to box off the back foot. Give up the centre of the ring. Fight to close to the ropes, feinting and trying to offset Macklin but Macklin will let his shots go and catch Lee in early rounds and i think stop him before the 5th. I think Macklin will be all over him like a rash.
Macklin stops him in 6. Lee just isn't very good imo. He's average. Barker vs Lee would be a much more interesting fight but even then, I'd expect Barker to UD him pretty comfortably.
There are conflicting reports it seems as the General forum is quoting Steve Kim as Macklin v Golovkin on June 29th on HBO... Both good match ups for Macklin
