Macklin on Golovkin: I'm The Better, More Seasoned Pro
Matthew Macklin (29-4, 20KOs) is very confident that he can derail the power-puncing run of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (26-0, 23KOs). The HBO televised main event will take place on June 29th at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, CT. Macklin feels a lot better than he did against Sgerio Martinez, who stopped the UK fan-favorite in the eleventh round of a tough fight. Macklin came back in September and knocked out former champion Joachim Alcine in the first round.

Golovkin, Loeffler Discuss HBO Macklin Matchup on 6/29
So far, Gennady Golovkin has steamrolled any opposition to his middleweight title belt, and his constant activity in 2013 is a welcome anomaly in this era of pro boxing where the best fighters appear once or twice a year if the fans are lucky. On June 29th, the Kazakhstan knockout king will take on his toughest challenger yet in Matthew Macklin (29-4, 20 KOs) at the Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. HBO will televise the bout. Despite sporting an official 1-2 record in his last three outings, many if not most observers had Macklin beating Felix Sturm, he was stopped by Sergio Martinez but led on the cards at the time, and surprisingly blasted Joachim Alcine in one. In that same period, Golovkin knocked out all six of his foes, running his streak to 13. However, his quality of opposition does not stack up to Macklin’s, which makes this fight anything but an easy win for the Kazakh. Earlier tonight, BoxingScene.com interviewed Macklin and his promoter Lou DiBella for their thoughts on the matchup. Here’s a brief transcript of our conversation with Golovkin (26-0, 23 KOs) and Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions.
