pacquiao-mayweather not happening. haye-klitschko not on. mosley-berto scrapped. super six in pieces, no gamboa-lopez this year, and now this. all we need now is khan-maidana to not get made. who'd be a boxing fan.
This is arguably the worst year in boxing we've had for a while. No great fight so far, no great upset, the years highlights are awful :-(
"most probably fact" :rofl How can something be most probably fact? Anyone can claim to be injured that doesn't make it fact without any proof, This smells very ducky IMO
I'm sure they is a scan somewhere revealing damage to Barker's hip(?). Are you Irish or do you know Macklin personally? Surely only an Irishman or personal connection could be this bias towards Macklin so as to assume Barker is faking injury.
No I'm just a cynical Englishman. If I was going to be biased for patriotic reasons I'd side with Barker. My gut feeling is that this is a duck but you would be right to say I have no proof, it's just my opinion.
In fairness to Barker, he said in a recent enough interview that his hip was giving him problems. I'm skeptical also but I think this one could be legit. http://www.transparentsport.com/cfcuk/story.php?id=101796
-------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure but I think they were due to fight for a British title and then Macklin was offered a shot at Asikainend for the Euro title so he took that instead.
