    Macklin has mixed it with better class fighters, i think Macklin takes it now but Barker wins further down the line

    I think Macklin wins late on. He was killing himself making light-middle and the move up in weight has improved him a lot. Cracking match up but as moorser says I doubt it will happen just yet.

    The British hype job gets KO'd inside 5 rounds!!!

    But why would Macklin bother with Barker. Makes zero sense.

    p.s. Macklin arrived in LA yesterday!

    This is a hard one to call,could go either way. I'd rather see Barker V Lee or McEwan as Macklin has bigger fish to fry atm...

    i don't think barker would have an answer for macklin if he pressures him like he did in the early rounds against moore

    I reckon Macklin going to LA will backfire big time.

    macklin will put him under too much pressure and stop him mid to late rounds imo

    Roach has got Pacquiao and Khan fights coming up, and he gets a percentage of there purse.

    You think hes gonna give a **** about Matt Macklin.
