    Matthew Macklin takes on pure world class fighter, The Ring Magazines #6 rated middleweight in the world; Amin Asikainen this friday. Does Macklin stand a stand against the hard hitting and classy Finn?

    I doubt it. They are not at the same level. Asikainen by KO early.

    Not only does he stand a chance, he is the favorite against the aging Finn.

    :huh He's like 1/3 on to win the fight.

    He has a very good chance but if you are very confident put your money on Asikainen and you'll get good value.

    I think it's time i get you the name and number of Kessler's tattoo artist in Denmark. We will get you branded with some slick ink that simply says, "Styles make fights"! That way you will be forced to abandon your stance on adaptability being the only key to winning and come to Jesus with the fact that most battles are won before they're even fought on a style can be all wrong for another; hence this is the "sweet" not the warfare science.

    I bet that EVERYONE who has seen the Asikainen vs. Sylvester wars will pick Asikainen in this fight. And same with the Campas fight... If you have seen Asikainen vs. Campas and Macklin vs. Campas... I am 100% sure that you will pick Asikainen.

    These guys are at different level.

    The Ring Magazine knows thats, but most of you guys just seem to be blind.

    I think it is too hard to call with it being in England Macklin may get the decision if it is a close fight. This is going to be Macklin's hardest fight yet. If Macklin looses he still has options of big fights over here in Ireland. A bout with either Duddy or Lee would sell out a lot of places over here and would be a good fight for Macklin to have. If he wins he could be 2 fights away from a World title fight. Defend the title twice and look for a World title after that.
