expand on that...

I really hope Macklin-Barker happens. Maybe it could be a world title eliminator.
Martinez-Williams 2 on 20 November so that rules out the WBC title.
Sylvester fights Mahir Oral on 30 October in Germany so it wont be an IBF challenge.
Sturm is fighting on 4 December though i very much doubt he'd come to Britain for a very dangerous fight with Macklin that's the WBA title. The WBA have Interim titles but also don't see him fight Golovkin in December. They also have Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam against Avtandil Khurtsidze in France on 30 October so no real move for maneuver with any of the silly WBA titles.
That leaves Pirog again i don't see that happening in December. There were rumours on Sturm-Pirog i'd be equally surprised but also happy if this fight happens. So i expect Pirog to have a routine defense in Russia late this year.
