    Murat can fight it's a good match up , cleverly will be to strong for him in the end and will get a late stoppage.

    macklin wins by stoppage.

    Macklin TKO. Got him down on an accumulator, so if he wins I don't mind, I'll also be happy if Barker proves me wrong.

    Roach will not be in Macklins corner.

    I've always said that I don't think there is much between them. However I thnk Macklin has more War like experience. I expect Barker to be fit for this fight though because Belghecam gave him a real scare and to be honest did Barker a favour.
    It is a bit tricky to call but I suspect Barker's camp will concentrate too much on fitness and not enough on technique. Barker's best chance is to avoid proximity at all times.

    If they get up close or scrap it out I fancy Macklin to stop him. So I will say this -
    If Macklin win's it will because of a viscous body shot or 1 punch ko.
    If Barker wins it will be a close UD. I don't see Barker stopping Macklin unless he gets lucky but he could win a decision. I will go for Macklin by stoppage in the championship rounds.

    Rob, if you did this I'm really impressed. Well put together :good

    First off, I'm still expecting it to get called off for whatever reason :lol:

    Also, I think it won't live up to the hype. Macklin catches Barker early or a clash of heads stops it in the second :rofl

    I'm not taking sides, think this fight will tell us a lot about where both fighters are at, just hoping it comes off and is a good fight.
