Comments Thread For: Matthew Macklin Targets Andy Lee For May 11 on HBO

This is actually a very good fight..

[Dr Rumack]

Macklin is a tough fight for Lee. It would definitely be a good fight, both guys get hit a lot and both have decent chins. A lot on the line too.

Macklin was reportedly in talks with the Chavez camp but that talk has died down again. Macklin might be too tricky a starting point for Bob's rebuilding job.

Not sure what macklin is doing. He's fought about 50 seconds in the last year and doent have a fight lined up. Should have just taken the Golovkin fight instead of Alcine

He had nose surgery before Christmas and is still in recovery I think.

Don't know if the op was planned before or after Golovkin offered him a fight

[Boxing Bob]

While this is an evenly matched bout, unless it's scheduled for St Paddys day it hardly a HBO quality fight. Probably gonna be paired with a better fight and a PPV replay

Macklin is quite average himself, just another beneficiary of a weak MW era, but he should handle Lee.

Agree in every way.

[The Surgeon]

Might be pretty good. Id favour Mack, he can get Lee outta there too. Far rather see Barker in with em though

[Bushbaby]

Interesting fight. I think Macklin has a good chance here.

Macklin via KO, make it happen

Macklin really believes he should be on HBO? Seriously?
Does he really think boxing fans (enough of them) want to see a Macklin VS anybody?
Just because his promoter "has a TV date" does he really think the boxing public want to see a Macklin fight?
We already saw a HBO Macklin fight VS Sergio Martinez!!
Maybe on RTE out of Ireland.
