    At least Martin has a huge chance to pull this off, I think most of the top 10 will go with Pac, so most likely you won't lose a spot on that one.

    Either way I'm looking at a loss here, but the top 10 exept for me and you (maybe I might change) lol, are going for both Joshua and Pac so I could possibly lose a few spots if this backfires, because I might have changed to pac...

    I'm pretty sure Macklin-Rose and AA-Zurdo may end up slitting the top 10 as well. There's gonna be a lot of shattered jaws either way, no one in the top 10 will probably make it out of Saturday unscathed.

    Remember Macklin is coming down in weight for the first time in years - I don't think this will help him and he looked poor in recent performances. Rose will have gained some confidence in his rematch win over Jones. I think Rose might just take this.

    They are fighting at 160, and Macklins last fight was at 154.

    Still, he has a point. Going up and down in weight is never a good thing for an aging fighter like Macklin. I think everything is against Macklin in this fight even though I also think Rose is terrible. Hopefully, Macklin doesn't chin Rose.

    Macklin will chin Rose, Heiland the last guy who stopped Macklin would stop Rose in 2 to 3 rounds tops. Rose's chin is garbage and he won't see the final bell especially if this is at full MW.

    Not disagreeing at all, but damn, I just see Macklin being shot to pieces at this point. Rose looked a lot better in the rematch against Jones.

    Also, Jones isn't a bad fighter. He made Brook struggle.

    I though Macklin looked fine against Wellborn especially since it was a JMW. He looked good enough to be able to beat Rose.

    I remember reading an interview where Macklin talks about his fight with Rose. He practically states that he's on the slide or shot given his latest performances. Honestly, Rose is utterly, utterly terrible. I just don't think Macklin wins this one.

    I could be totally wrong as Rose could just get chinned again, but I just have a feeling about this one. I read Rose is the favorite, and I think the bookies are right on this one.

    My bad. I remember he came down in weight recently, never knew it was for just one fight. He obviously wasn't comfortable coming down last time - not surprised as fighters don't normally come down in weight in the twilight of their career.

    Welborn shouldn't be a competitive fight for a guy like Macklin which shows how far he's slumped since the Sturm and Martinez fights where he made a decent account of himself
