Macklin turns down Sturm rematch

hmmm, maybe he knows he hasnt got enough.

 

Over on the scene macklin says he hasn't been offered a rematch. He's with debela now so he will be looking to make a name stateside. With john ruddy retired there is a Market for macklin in new york

 

:nono Macklin said he was offered the rematch but it was **** money.

 

Perhaps holding out for better terms and hopefully a neutral venue. A rematch in MSG gardens would be ideal.

 

He might be waitin to see how Barker does against Martinez and hope for the winner of that ?


I honestly thought he was robbed of the decision against Sturm, but in a rematch I think Sturm would stop him, once Sturm started letting his hands go in the later rounds he outclassed Matt at times, he had him out on his feet in the last 10 seconds and in a rematch he would put his foot on the gas a lot earlier.

 

Macklin has signed with Lou dibella and is aiming for a fight with Martinez or Andy Lee, or so fat dan says:

Macklin also said the offer for the rematch was bad, with unfair options.

 

I hope he's not holding his breath!

 

Does he hang out with Kelly Pavlik?A lost opportunity.

 

What's happening with pirog?

 

If that's the case, then it's a wise decision. Martinez or Sturm? I know who I'd rather get a shot at.

 

i thought he was Irish?

 

Probably due to his recent signing with DiBella. Probably wants Martinez, and I can't say I blame him. Sturm-Macklin II would have been good, though.

 

That Brummy accent of his will be pure Tipperary by the time he gets to New York:deal

I have to say that Macklin not taking the rematch looks a bit anatidae-ish to me

 

I wonder if its the same 'unfair' options that he signed for in the first place and would be held to if he had gotten the decision
