Macklin to fight Lamar Russ

[US Dirk Killer]

Russ ain't got a chance. So what if Golovkin beats him around the ring.All it will do is teach him how to take a punch

[VatoMulatto]

He gone get KO'd
He hasn't fought anybody

I don't know anything about Russ but Just cause he hasn't fought anyone doesn't mean he isn't a good fighter. Have you seen him fight???

Good experience from there

Lamar is a very good boxer and has skills. I remember his trainer used to sometimes use the gym that I used to workout at in Spring Lake, NC. I'm going with Lamar on this one. Macklin may have been looking for an easy fight, but he's going to have his hands full and will be outboxed. Lamar has good speed, movement, and hits harder than expected.

Have you seen any of his fights live? i can only find two of them and one of the is just the KO.
Interested in this kid. He's got decent height

Not a bad fight but am I the only one who wants to see Macklin-Rosado/Stevens?

Nothing wrong with that, but no chance either one will be ready to fight on 12/7.

Oh yeah, no chance of that, I meant in the future/2014

Sorry Hougigo, I don't have any of his fights. Would be great if I did.

Thanks for the insight with the trainer though. Any info is good info

I feel Macklin is overrated. He's a B-Level fighter at best. Russ has experience sparring with one of the worlds best in GGG which will hold him in great stead for this fight. GGG may have passed him advice on how to approach the fight. Russ has a good chance in this one and will cause Macklin problems with his movement.
