"He's good at what he does", seems to be best ringing endorsement Macklin ever gives to him in terms of training a fighter. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it's just the sense I get from watching interviews in the last few months. I actually rate Gallagher and think he gets undue stick.
Macklin will have to be at his best tonight, reckon he will win 117-111 ish type scores. Hope your keeping well Len :good
Just thought I would give quotes from a couple of years back: "Joe is a good conditioner but I think the level I'm fighting at now, for boxing knowledge and from a technical and tactical point of view, he's probably not on that level yet. "He's still a young trainer, learning. In this kind of league, when you come back to the corner, you want to be looking at someone who has been there and done it. Not just as a fighter, because he's done it as a trainer too, in those big fights with Arturo Gatti, Vernon Forrest etc."
How does this announcer keep getting work? Not sure if he's a dutch guy trying to impersonate an American, or if he's just having a stroke?
@jwp - The British Boxing Board of Control won't allow referees over 65. Vann is licensed with the Boxing Union of Ireland now.
retired, i actually thought he died :shock: Still a great referee mind you. so im happy his heart is still ticking
So far the irish lads have really put down a marker...2 1-round stoppages. Let's hope the luck of the irish continues for Matthew Macklin!
