Macklin will come to bring it like he did vs Sturm but i dont know if he hits hard enough At times Martinez shows stamina issues and maybe a hard pressing Macklin can tire him something tells me Macklin will be in front of Martinez in no mans land eating fast shots unable to catch up to Martinez he will have moments but likely fall victim to a TKO/KO
Out of eagerness, Pavlik KO's both with a chair between the fifth and the sixth. I see Martinez cruising comfortably to a UD. Macklin is considerably more open than Barker, but is more of a warrior.
I think Martinez wins in dominant fashion. Most probably a TKO around 8th round. He sure needs to.....people already doubting him.
Same thing happens to Macklin that happened in Germany. Decision to the champ but very close maybe a controversial split dec. His Brit and Irsh fans feel robbed.
I'll be at this fight next Saturday.. I expect Macklin to put up a tough fight but he lacks the technical skill it takes to beat Martinez. I think Mack gets stopped by round 9 or 10.. more then likely corner, reff or medical stoppage because I don't see Macklin ever quitting or getting KO'd.
