Macklin calls Dan Rafael out of the blue?

none, but he has beaten elcock, moore, asikainen & campas who are all good fighters. i'd like to see him step it up and i think he's capable of it.

 

What happened to Elcock in the end? He pulled out of the Barker fight last year when he lost loads of weight for some reason, right? Any word on where he disappeared to?

 

dunno, hasn't fought since macklin bet him. incidentally, i was just on the irish boxing thread there and macklin has also called out sergio martinez.

the guy really is intent on a securing a world title fight in the next 12 months

 

I'd pick him not to make it through, broken down in 8. I'm not ruling out sergio sparkin him either, even though as you say hes not a banger

 

I have eyes mate, do you believe he would beat martinez ? I'm not a plastic paddy either

 

Did you see that interview he did with slapbang the other week in an Irish accent? :rofl

How do your lot feel about Macklin? He doesn't seem to be as open about being a bluenose as Gavin. I get the feeling he doesn't really follow your lot at all and just tagged himself along to try and get a few fans... :think

 

Spot on post. Macklins got no personality as far as i'm concerned, gavin has.Yes hes part of the plastic paddy community lol.....

 

sad very sad

 

Ignorant ?????? Hes born and bred brummy, hes got a ****in brummy accent, then he goes and starts acting all irish with slapbang you *****. What way would you describe it ? I aint on about lee or barker either, stick with the program

 

Explain mate

 

No he didn't, Moore stopped him.

 

To be fair both of his parents are irish. Its not as if hes a 1/8 irish man claiming to be Irish is he? Hes got close Irish connections and fights here regularly so while he may not be born and raised here most of us still call him one of our own. Im not saying hes not a brummy or British though, just that he has close connections here
