Neither Macklin nor Barker got smashed, both did quite well in different ways. Certainly both gave him a harder fight than Chavez Jr did for the first 11 rounds.
Have you watched the Hearn post fight interview? he was again very straight to the point and explained things clearly which should clarify a few things to those hating on him. They hate cos they can and because they want too
yeh. have you seen the thread about the video? he is getting slated for his comments. seems crazy to me!
why slated? hes just being honest and upfront with no cloak and dagger like you know who. Honestly what is it with some people atsch
I love this subject. Like I've said for years, Macklin knocks the mockney hypejob out in the first half of the fight.
Bull****, Barker outboxes Macklin to a comfortable points win or stops him late when Macklin gets tired and sloppy.
He hates Barker because he is "Irish" and Barker gave Andy Lee a few wedgies in there Repton days. Still upset and thinks he should have got a DQ vs Paul Samuels!
More indicative of bad scoring. They got smashed soon as Sergio stepped it up. And that knockdown was seriously soft, largely down to balance.
