Macklin throwing like a madman. The work rate is insane. If these body shots don't take their toll on Sturm I fear he will start to gas and get knocked out!

[MightyWarrior]

Brave fighter, but I think this is going same way as Moore/Macklin. Great fight, you got to hand it to Mac here, but Strum is class through and through.

[Gray-Fox]

Macklin will burn himself out and get KOd imo

3-0 to him so far

[Ketchel]

Cracking fight, c'mon Matthew chop that tree!

[Old bones Ian]

Scored the 3rd to Sturm , he landed the better quality

38-38

[johnswan1]

Pop is gone out of Macklins punches already!

[Baboon]

3rd to M
4th to S

S landing crisper punches now. Wondering if M can keep up this pace. Not sure M is necessarily the puncher here.

39-37 M

[johnswan1]

Sturm will win by KO within next three rounds I think. But Macklin is really making a go of it!

[Crazyboy]

sturms punches look better and harder when he lands, but god mac is working hard and throwing good stuff

this is a great fight

[Craig14]

here we go - sturm had some great combinations in that round. 3-1

[TerribleTerry]

Win, lose or draw Sturm will know he has been in a fuc king fight by the end of tonight.

Gwan you Brummie!

[MightyWarrior]

The voice over bloke on the Haye/Wlad sky promo, sounds likes he's under water and taken 5 valium.

[Yes We Can]

38 - 38 for me..... Sturm better than i thought, good boxer

[Old bones Ian]

Its the accuracy thats making the difference so far for me, Sturm seems to be able to land the eye catching punches

[Baboon]

Depends what you like....M's workrate and body punching or Sturms crisper but far less frequent counter punches. Great fight.

M must keep working the body.

10-9 M

49-46 M

[Ketchel]

Those body shots from Macklin surely are having an effect? Macklin is fighting like a champion.

[Mike Knight]

I have it 49-46 to Macklin so far.

Really good fight.

[Craig14]

macklin is fighting out of his skin 4-1 I need a cigarette and hope he don't get stopped this round, sturm looks strong if not lazy.

[Crazyboy]

i think mac is doing great!!! sturm looks like he's blowing on his stool

mac is tired to too though

great fight actually

[Yes We Can]

57 - 57 ..... Sturm could be in toruble if Macklin can keep it up for another 2 rounds at this intensity

[ShadrachSimmo]

Mac by 2!

[Baboon]

macklin is fighting out of his skin 4-1 I need a cigarette and hope he don't get stopped this round, sturm looks strong if not lazy.

Cruel....quit two weeks ago....now gasping....

10-9 M - workrate again, could see how folks would score some of the rounds for S though.

59-55 M

Any links? (PM)

[johnswan1]

What a fight this is! Come on Mack!

[Baboon]

Sturm's a clever sod, all his work is in the last minute of each round.
