Thats what i was thinking but wouldnt the Irish fans feel a touch insulted by some boxer exploiting his great, great ,great gran or whatever the **** it is that ties him to ireland to all of a sudden fight in their name?
When he fought Wayne Elcock it was billed as the Battle of Birmingham and the seconds/promo girls were wearing Birmingham City shirts. Now he's Irish. Make of that what you will.
Matthew Macklin is an Irish man. If any of you lads have a problem with that then you need to take a look at yourselves. i don't expect him to win tonight but I'll still be proud of his effort.. In future, it might be best not to respond to threads started by bigots with WATP in their name
Its a bit laughable at the moment but the best Irish fight that can be mad eis between Andy Lee (Born Bow, East London) and Mathew Macklin (born Brum, West Midlands)....there must be something in the English water that makes fighters go all Dave Allen :-(
Haha whats bigoted about it you over sevsitive **** rag. Its a boxing forum you total fud i just had a genuine question i didnt know the answer to. I would ask the exact same question if he was pretending to be russian, icelandic or whatever so wind your neck in you absolute fishes nipple:hi:
Good to see the English putting their arm around the Irish Traveller Community and taking on an English born gypsy on as one of their own.
whats wrong is macklins decision 2 embrace his roots shame u as ur own family is from westport...and u turned ur back on ur own irish heritage by joining the murderous british army:yep:good
Dont act like a complete ****face now Icemax and aggravate this arguement, we've had a hundred of these threads and we both know they are uneccessary and repetitive.
