Watched the fight last night. My thoughts are: 1. Sergrio looked less than amazing prior to getting the KO. 2. It was a good stoppage. He wasn't going to rally and only risked taking more damage. 3. I want to see Macklin vs. Froch. Anyone else think Macklin vs. Froch would be a good fight? Would probably generate good sales in the UK.
Macklin vs Froch? :huh No thanks. Macklin vs Barker would be good. Actually, Macklin vs Chavez Jr would be better. He [Macklin] would have more success against him.
The KO, there were 2 knockdowns and Buddy McGirt pulling him out (justifiably). Froch would demolish Macklin, Froch is too big and too strong, not a good matchup for Macklin.
From what I've seen, Macklin is technically superior to Froch. Froch is bigger, stronger and scrappy, but not a technical wizard. Macklin on the other hand just won several rounds against the #3 P4P fighter in the world using good mobility, head movement, technical skill, patience and anticipation. I think it would be a tougher fight than anyone is giving it credit for.
I think Macklin v Chavez Jr and I could see Macklin having way more success. As for Martinez even though he wasn't at his best he still looked another level to Macklin
