Comments Thread For: Macklin: I Will Hit Golovkin Back and I'm Heavy Handed

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MATT MACKLIN insists that after a nomadic career he will bring home Birmingham’s first world title next weekend.

Middleweight Macklin, 31, fights Kazakhstan’s Gennady Golovkin for his WBA middleweight belt in Connecticut, USA, on Saturday, hoping to make it third time lucky in world title fights.

Unbeaten Golovkin, 31, has stopped 23 of his 26 victims but Macklin insists he has learned from his 11th-round defeat to Argentina’s world No.1 Sergio Martinez last year and a controversial points loss to German Felix Sturm in 2011.

Time will tell about Matthew Macklin, I do believe he can knock GGG on the backfoot but I just don't see him giving GGG any serious problems where he'd have him forced up against the ropes.
I see this being a long hard night for Macklin If he doesn't get KO'ed quick.

What about Richie Woodall surely he was the 1st from Birmingham???

I believe Macklin when he says he is going to hit GGG back, problem is GGG hits way harder IMO and macklin's style is to Punch back and trade which will make for a very exciting fight. Problem is its going to end in a TKO/KO Loss for Macklin.

hopefully Macklin doesn't get blasted out of there too quickly, im hoping for a somewhat competitive war

Macklin creamed Alcine who is a world class boxer IMO if Golovkin wins impressively especially in a huge KO then he deserves all the credit in the world.

Alcine WAS world level but not when Mack ko'd him. Macklin will hit back but will more than likely get himself ko'd by exchanging as he is not that big of a hitter at middle. the fight will however give us a much better idea of exactly where Golovkin is right now in terms of top-level.

Fight probably won't make it to the third round when Golovkin put's him to sleep.

GGG will knock him out

Don't be surprised if Macklin makes this more competitive or actually wins this
