Irish Boxing

Macklin is quoted as saying Peters has been in touch with Sylvester's people.

'Pirog is another possibility. So too is a voluntary defence of my Euro title.'

 

That would have been my guess too

Sauerland and Warren have been working together recently

 

As I see it, here are the options in order of possibility

1. Sylvester
2. Pirog
3. Lee

 

I'd guess Barker has to figure in there somewhere again, no?

Further quotes:
'Sylvester ain't that special, not much flair there. Pirog is better. Sturm is past it. Williams is a blown-up light-middleweight as is Sergio Martinez.'
etc etc

 

I somehow doubt he'll get Pirog this side of the Atlantic the americans are going mad for him after the Jacobs fight and if Lee and Duddy is going ahead that might only leave Sylvester!

 

Macklins first defense HAS to be Barker hes not allowed a volentary

that rules Lee out

 

Get Barker out of the way once and for all. :bbb
KO him and then chase the gold!

 

:deal I wanna see all those hyping up Barker humbled. Nothing against Barker but it will finally shut up those saying he is the top man in Britain and Ireland.

 

Lee and Magee possible Allen Green Opponents

Id rather see Andy Lee do a job on him TBH...

 

Sylvesters fighting Oct. 30th. Id be surprised if he went straight from that into a fight as tough as Macklin. Sturm is promoting himself now, If warren put a big wad under his nose hed probably come over. Much tougher fight though

 

True, it would raise his stock a lot a silence some of Lee's doubters. It's just Macklin is a lot more realistic.

 

if Macklin drops the EBU to fight for a world title then Lee-Barker becomes VERY realistic

 

Macklin would be better off fighting some decent european guys to prepare for a possible fight vs Sylvester. I would have suggested Oral but he's fighting Sylvester in October.

 

That would be a tremendous opportunity for one of the lads, and surely both would jump at the chance.

Magee could do the job
