Golovkin-Macklin getting close to getting done for June 29th

Imagine if he tried to reproduce the strategy from that night? That knockout was brutal enough, frightening to think what someone like Golovkin might do to him in those circumstances. I'm not there was any strategy that night tbh! But yeah agree again. I'm not actually sure if this fight goes past mid way, but i suppose it depends on how Macklin's chin is and how brave his trainer/the ref is...

Maybe I can convince some friends for a casino run

^This. I love Macklin and he's been one of my favourite domestic fighters since his losing effort against Jamie Moore, but i just cant see any game plan thats going to work for him in this fight.

Yeah I fear for Macklin a little bit. He's too brave for his own good. I don't think the imitation of a counter-puncher he produced against Sergio would do him much good against a brute like Golovkin, but what are his alternatives really. He tries to wade in against Gennady and it could all be over very quickly. ^This.

Good fight, big step up for Golovkin. Let's see if he can out-do Martinez. I see Golovkin doing some serious damage to Macklin. Yeah I fear for Macklin a little bit. He's too brave for his own good.

..................bump

Then what is 3G going to do after he beats everyone at MW? Is he going to stay at 160, move down to 154, up to 168 or retire? After cleaning out the MW division he would definetely either move down or move up in a search for a big fights. But at the same time he won't give up of his MW titles.

Hope this fight will happen soon and some of the haters would have to shut their mouths and put their tongues into their as$es. There is no excuse about Macklin's shape, cuz he had a full training camp before fighting Alcine (or whoever). The fight didn't last long which means he was not exhausted and didn't need to recover at all. It doesn't matter in what form he gonna be, in any case he has no chance to win. In fact none in the MW division is able to compete with GGG. Then what is 3G going to do after he beats everyone at MW? Is he going to stay at 160, move down to 154, up to 168 or retire?

great news, someone had to man up eventually, respect to macklin. After Golovkin stops macklin maybe we can see golovkin v Martinez that's what I want to see anyway.

Looks like it's happening. Macklin retweeted a bunch of people talking about The Golovkin fight and then said this matthew macklin ‏@mattmacklin 56s Gona have some big news coming soon! #watchthisspace No way! Nobody wants to fight GGG not after 6 months in the limelight..they are all ducking him lol.

GGG wrecks Matty. Where is this likely to be made? ... "Tri state area" means nothing to me!

Macklin is tough, but easy to hit this is an action fight worth watching would pick GGG to win by KO in this definitely want him to get a shot at Martinez before the champ quits Macklin did ok, but blew his title shot

golovking, oosthizen, and a willie nelson concert? count me in.

Macklin needs more activity or rounds before taking this fight so we can use this as an excuse when he loses this fight to the most "Ducked fighter" in the Middleweight history (6 months and counting).

Good stuff. I like Macklin and he's always up for a fight. I do fear his style will be a problem against GGG, but he's certainly a legit opponent.
