I think macklin actually might ko this kid. I saw him on broadway boxing nearly get put out by Someone named jordan.

I'm rooting for him! This is Lamar Russ' big opportunity to break through and arrive on the scene. I haven't saw much footage of him, but this is his chance to show us what he's got.


Great short-notice fight. Who was Macklin originally supposed to fight again?

Lamar was on a few regional and national teams with me starting back in like 2002 when Victor Ortiz quit in the world's against Amir Khan... Pretty good fighter, wish him the best! He won nearly 50 straight before losing one. I picked on him because I made it to 63 before my first loss. Cool kid though.

Wish I could see more footage of the young lad

Well the world would have to know who Macklin was first for that to happen.

Pretty sue he's just generalizing moreso the boxing world who obviously know who Macklin is.

He's a complete unknown really so the world is your oyster sink or swim drown or float jetski or paddle

pretty much this

Macklin has practically been knocked out twice in a row. This is usually the #1 indicator that a fighter is about to go on a losing streak.

I follow this young fellow on twitter. He is a nice guy and a very dedicated student of the game. He is putting his heart and soul into this sport. He deserves the opportunity. He is very inexperienced but the training and work he did with Golovkin should help him in that area.
