Macklin

I think Hopkins took something from him as well - though other than Taylor, who has he actually beaten that could be described as world class?

He lacks focus - going on the beer, and also variety. His double jab and right hand punches are excellent, but other than that.... his hook sucks, thrown too wide, and is prone to counter rights - which was why I picked Hopkins to beat him from the day the fight was signed.

I think Williams might be able to stop him, thru accumulation, but expect him to play it a bit safer as his chin isn't tested at 160, and Pavlik can obviously bang.

 

Watch Ricky's mum on the phone when the first knock down happens. Made me laugh.

 

Just tapping away on her phone and not concentrating at all, then BOOM he lands that hook and everyone jumps up and then she looks up and trys to go with the flow.

 

Why wait? it's time for him tio get a world title shot against Strum or Sylvester now! I see him beating both.... then he might be ready for Pavlik.

 

I have no idea what Murray is doing with his career. Has her been injured or in prison or saomething because he should be far more along in his career than he appears to be, I would not mind if he were a baby but he is knocking on 28. Odd that Renda is getting lined up for a British eliminator and Murray is far down the ladder.


Macklin will hopefully make a big jump now and get either an eliminator for the world title or a straight shot. Hatton should have enough money to pull the trick so I rteally expect him to be in a big fight again soon.

 

Who's talking about Pavlik?
