I didn't know he had any Irish roots. From how everyone got worked up about it, I assumed he just wanted to represent Ireland as he had a fan base more than he had an English one, so fair play, I was wrong
These threads are tedious, why don't you all calm down, and watch some Cristian Mijares, and all will be fine.
im not arsed to be honest but macklin is irish by 2 irish parents just happens to live in birmingham most of his life which qualifys him to fight for the british belt.... its just like frankie gavin fighting for irish belt aswell who gives a **** what side of the pond there from... get behind them no matter what!
didnt he represent england as an amatuer ?? now he refuses to even aknowledge anything british prefight. plastic.
He's had more trainers and promoters than nationalities though. He's a fan of the Blues isn't he, maybe he'll be following McLeish over to the Villa next.
@leo If that disturbs you in any way, you need help. This is Forum. As JP said, people need to chill out (Slap might need a shot of Valium). Easy to make mistakes.
Why are you getting worked up, mate? I didn't know that, so it's best you and the other Irish people in this thread calm down. I'm all for it I'm just saying, it's his choice who he represents, init.
