    Seemingly this fight is on.
    Thoughts anyone.
    I'll go with Macklin SD.

    I think macklin wins this one by ko then when/if he beats Pirog i hope he defends against barker , then the fight will make much more sense

    Damn, I wanted to see Macklin/Barker (would be a war).

    I suppose its good to see Matt fighting for the euro belt though...

    I favour Macklin by TKO mid rounds. Asikainen is broken down quickly and easily. He's a banger though, Macklin has to be careful early.

    Pirog will beat him easily.

    Macklin will knock him out, this is an easier fight than Barker imo.
