Andy Lee calls out Macklin, Macklin accepts-biggest all Irish fight in recent history

I kind of agree with you. The thing is though that Lee has changed training to Adam Booth now. He is working on his stamina and fitness and almost seems to acknowledge it himself. It's as if he has identified it and is working on it. That's why I am not how much improved he will be in his next fight.

 

**** if they got this in the 02 Dublin Ireland which is where Macklin said he would want the fight i would be the first person to buy the tickets.

 

If a cat has kittens in the oven, does that make them biscuits? :think

This is a great fight between two proud Irish warriors, really can't wait for this ALL IRISH clash, Limerick V Tipperary woohooo

I'm leaning towards a Lee win but whoever wins it won't be easy, despite popular opinion Macklin is not the beast he's made out to be nor is Lee a pushover. Very even fight.

 

im American.

 

except macklin was born and raised in england and has a brummie accent.

does that mean all black boxers are african?

 

I don't know about all black boxers, you'd have to ask them. What I do know is that Macklin considers himself Irish and that having two Irish parents trumps a Brum accent. I find it amusing how this annoys so many people.

 

born in england, his kids will have one english parent and one other (lets say irish mother), what would that make his kids? he wasnt ****ing born or raised in ireland, he aint irish.

 

Why do you care so much? Do you think all the Poles in Ireland, who have had kids born here and have Irish accents, consider their kids Irish or Polish?

You need to get over this ****, Macklin is Irish no matter where he was born, not a drop of English blood runs through his veins. Do you think this would be a better fight if we call it an all English affair? What the **** difference does it make?

 

so what will run through his kids veins seeing their father was English born and bred? what if his kids were born in england...thats two generations of englishmen, when does this imaginary line stop?

Irish blood they all came from scots and vikings.

 

atschOk he's a ****ing Viking so, does that make you feel better? I'm not getting into a history lesson with you here bud. Just enjoy the fight if it happens but don't cry when he drapes the tri colour around his shoulders.

 

why would i give a ****, 2 average boxers, probably wont even watch it.

 

I'd watch Lee-Macklin. Would be a good fight. Other than that, I just got annoyed reading this thread because of Arran. Shut the **** up, dude.

 

that would be a great fight! hopefully they make it happen
