Can't remember too much about the Campas fight but it wasn't one of Macklins best performances that's for sure...I have highlights of the Ajetovic fight if you want a copy...
Macklin looked really, really tough against Jaime Moore, who is pretty good. If Macklin had paced himself better that night, he might have won. Based on the strength, power, and combination punching Macklin shows me, I wonder if Pirog has the capacity to back Macklin up. Will Macklin respect Pirog's punching power? What do you think?
It's a hard one to call,I wouldn't say Macklin has a bad chin but if Ajetovic can stun him so can Pirog,Macklin has questionable defense also...If the fight went ahead I would favour Pirog...
He will most likely defend his EBU belt against someone in april, im thinking barker i dont think lee would fancy himself after his last performance.Barker vs macklin would be just as big.
who do you think would win that one,I can see Macklin strugging with someone like Barker but then Barkers chin is not the best is it?
That's certainly not how I remember that fight. I was watching it in a pub so couldn't hear the commentary(although Magee and Dave Boy were probably cheerleading Macklin anyway), but I thought Macklin won that fight clear enough. I hadn't been drinking either btw. He didn't look great in that fight, but it was a steady enough performance and he boxed his way to a decision off the backfoot. Are you sure you're thinking of the Campas fight ? The Ajetovic fight I haven't seen but apparently Matt really did struggle in that and was hurt at one point(as mentioned in this thread).
