[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

New York, NY - Earlier this afternoon, top-rated middleweight contender and former two-time world title challenger Matthew "Mack The Knife" Macklin held an open media workout at The Trinity Boxing Club in downtown Manhattan ahead of his much anticipated world championship clash this SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 2013 against WBA/IBO Middleweight World Champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

The Golovkin/Macklin bout is presented by K2 Promotions and DiBella Entertainment and will be televised live on HBO beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT.

Macklin looked to be in tremendous shape, having kept himself just 2 lbs. over the 160 lb. limit for the past three weeks, and was all smiles and oozing with confidence ahead of the championship clash this Saturday. [Click Here To Read More]

I think Macklin is going to surprise a great number of people. He very well may not win but he is going to bring it to Golovkin and should provide the toughest fight of his career up until this point.

Macklin is a solid fighter. I expect a good battle. Can't wait!

Macklin can take a punch, so this fight could turn very ugly.

Macklin in better shape than he was for Sergio, and he wasn't in bad shape then either. Might want to get a haircut in anticipation of those head snapping jabs from GGG though.

Macklin looks to be in great shape.
This might be a very competitive, good fight. Macklin will definitely be a measuring stick for GGG.

I expect Golovkin to have Matthysse style hype after beating the crap out of Macklin.

Yup, Rosado was in great shape and we all know how that ended. Matt just doesn't have the boxing skill to keep GGG off of him. He's there to be hit. GGG by brutal stoppage in 4 rounds.
