    Why not? Macklin is easy to hit, Macklin has had injuries and one whole round under his belt since he came back from his Martinez loss and his injuries, GGG is a hard hitter and a good stalker. Moreover according to our Boxingscene experts GGG is the second coming who no one wants to fight. So adding all these up I don't think Macklin stands a chance of getting out of the first round especially if Buddy Mcgirt is the trainer in his corner for this fight, then I would expect to see the fight stopped at the first jab or power right hand landed by GGG.
    GGG is good but even he takes a few rds to get warmed up, I expect it to go 5-7 rds. Unless one of them get's careless.

      Will he go out all guns blazing Jamie Moore style and try to take the fight to GGG? Or will he play it more like the Sergio fight and try to counterpunch a little?
      I reckon he would last longest swarming ala the Sturm fight to be honest. MIGHT throw GGG off his game for a bit and smother his power. All roads lead to a Golovkin stoppage though imo. It'll be fun while it lasts!

        the only thing that makes u discredit GGG for his win of this match is if you urself believe the hype about him

        if u think his not that good and just a hype then u have to give him credit for beating macklin who gave martinez trouble

          Golovkin is going to look great and he's going to get insane hype afterwards.

            I'm not so sure an action-packed fight is in store. With Macklin talking about how he wanted one more fight before GGG, I think Golovkin may get him out early.
