    Thoughts On Matthew Macklin vs Felix Sturm?

    How do you see this fight goin down? Macklin seems very confident he wont have much trouble with Felix.

    Macklin's defense is too leaky, against Sturm's jab, defense, and strength, and I see him losing a clear decision. Dominating late.

      Macklin is a good euro operator but insists he is a world class but is yet to fight at that level.

      Sturm is world class.

      I'd think Sturm will be too good. Outside of Macklin himself even the most patriotic Brit pundits seems to be thinking Macklin could land a big hook and win the fight, which doesn't inspire me with hope. I doubt Macklin could knock out Sturm even if he did land a peach.

        Felix will school him. I expect just a little tougher fight for him than the fight with Lorenzo. Macklin will put pressure on him early but will fade after the first 8-9 rounds.

          Darren Barker would beat Macklin imo i think Sturm will win this one UD.

                Macklin is no bum. He blasted out Asikainen in 1 round and Asikainen is certainly no bum. Not world class, but still pretty solid.
