Comments Thread For: Macklin: Golovkin is Human, Beatable Like Everyone Else

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gennady Golovkin is being trumpeted as an unbeatable fighter, an immovable force. But all fighters fall, no matter the hype, Matthew Macklin says, and he plans to turn the trick on Saturday at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Conn., on HBO.

“They will get beaten, they do get beaten. They are human,” Macklin said. “When they get hit on the chin, they get knocked out just like anyone else does. When they go 10 rounds at my pace, they get tired just like anyone else does."

Macklin has to make it a rough physical fight come forward stay on the inside outwork Golovkin he won't win this fight Golovkin stops him in 10

Macklin has to turn this fight into a brawl to win. He also needs to drag it into the late rounds. He has to be on the inside at all times.

that's what they all tell themselves, but if they only knew....

Is anybody picking Matt to win?

I like Macklin but I can't see him winning. Not that that means I won't stick a little bit of money on the upset happening. The odds are actually a little insulting to Macklin.

"He's a MAN! He's NOT a machine, he's a MAN!"

... having said that, GGG in 6.

Macklin 33/1 to shock the world and KO GGG in the first 3 rounds, lol.

Realistically, I think that's his only chance anyway. He doesn't seem to carry his power through a fight anyhow and especially not after GGG has been nailing him with shots.

Of course, but you're not the man to do it, Matt Macklin.

[tito_bandito]

Of course Golovkin is only human. After all he's only beaten European bums and faded contenders like you Macklin.

Any time someone says something like this, I get the feeling they're not very optimistic about their own chances. lol
