Sergio Martinez vs Matthew Macklin

Is this fight definitely happening? I heard it is + Andy Lee and Martin Murray are in talks to possibly meet on the undercard.

 

What a fucking joke.

 

So it's for real? Martinez - Macklin?

 

Even if Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquiao don't want to fight him....there has to be better competition in the division. This bum..the previous one...come on one easy fight is good enough...

 

POUND FOR POUND:wack:

 

Aye, the same p4per who failed to beat Kermit Cintron & Paul Williams 2 years ago. People are out their gourds.

 

Macklin's a decent sort

 

Short of Moving Up in Weight, YET AGAIN, There's Not Much Sergio Martinez Can Do...



REEDathetic:

 

Macklin can beat Sergio

 

Yeah, if he is allowed to use a baseball bat. Even then I wouldn't give him more than even money.

MTF

 

Which I really hope he does.:Thumbs:

 

ENG-ER-LAND! ENG-ER-LAND! ENG-ER-LAND!:nana:

 

Does margined have one of those sweet hbo contracts? Seems like it based on his steady diet of nondescript comp. Yay hbo.

 

Yeah, might be onto something there

 

Macklin already beat a better fighter in Amin Asikainen

 

+1

I am onto this fucking Martinez now.

Macklin is a moderately talented, well protected, well managed club-fighter.

Guys like Sibson, Kaylor, Herol Graham etc would have blasted him out.

He's part of what is probably the most average crop of British MW's for some time.

He doesn't beat Howard Eastman.

 

Basically. I think everyone's being a bit harsh here. The guy is a middleweight, tops. Its obvious that physically he does not belong at supermiddle, so why would anyone want to see him fail at the higher division?

If he can end up fighting Macklin, Pirog, Golovkin, Proksa, Sturm, Quillin...I think there's plenty of talent there, and I would be happy to see it. I didnt even mention Chavez Jr or Canelo, these fights are obviously not going to happen. Unless he ages noticeably overnight.

 

I'm no Martinez defender... but who should he be fighting?

 

Fight Proksa already you coward.

 

Proksa

 

vitali

 

macklin's a tough and durable, aggressive dude. should be a fun fight if it comes through.

 

Can anyone confirm whether or not Martinez has a HBO contract? It's seeming like he must, given the opponents he's been choosing.

 

I'm pretty sure you are the only one who knows who the hell that is. ::

Sounds like a polish bum to me.

 

Canelo
JCC Jr.
Sturm

Or even Arthur Abraham, who is now moving back to MW.

Any of these would be bigger than a Macklin fight.

 

George Groves

 

The Ring magazine sure knows. #4 middleweight in the world baby.

 

I doubt those guys are much interested in fighting Sergio.

 

Must be promoted by G.

 

Abraham might be. The other 3 won't be. Chavez Jr won't be and Spurm is prostitute for Sauerland. Sauerland wants Spurm in Germany running around on his little bony legs for 12 rounds. Sturm could probably stick it to Martinez for a good bit if what we saw from Baker was anything to go by, but he's got no interest in going over there to do it.....he's a "World Champ", his fans think he is too, money is good, why risk it.
