Like Macklin a lot, but I just don't see him winning this fight. If it goes to decision though you never know... Martinez isn't exactly Mr. Popular with judges out here in america....which brings me to a different point. Does JCC Jr just have to survive til the 12th round to get the win if he fights Sergio? >__>..We all know how Arum works...

I expect Macklin to give Martinez problems, I think the way to beat a guy like Martinez is to pressure him and not let his physical gifts play that big a part in the fight. Macklin is a guy who like to apply pressure behind a tight guard. Should be a good, tough fight.
