Coverage just started.

Any chance in hell of Lee vs Macklin actually happening?

Edit, anyone else think that count seemed quick? Not saying he was gonna get up but seemed quicker than what I'm used to hearing.

[ThereByTheGrace]

If Macklin wins a few then yes plenty of options Mack wins ko2 good body shot does it

[MightyWarrior]

Fair enough but from what we saw last time out Matt probably shouldn't continue fighting ...he must have some bucks stashed away and will probably make a great trainer

Same with Ricky Burns... sounds like he's in for a beating tonight, a long way from home; I hope he's getting paid well as it sounds like he needs it ,which is ridiculous considering how many world title defence he made.

[Ezzard]

Anyone know what time Burns is on?

[palooka]

Anyone know which channel and time for burns and Jamie?

Possibly after Lee-Saunders, but Macklin needs to get a decent win first, he hasn't looked great for a couple of years now and seems to be trying to convince himself he isn't shot and blaming the Heiland loss on overtraining, when he had a fight 6 weeks earlier to break up the camp.

[MightyWarrior]

World title fight next for Maclin ? ridiculous

World title fight next for Maclin ? ridiculous

Bjs or Eubank jr would be a good fight or martin Murray also

Sky Sports, around 10 :)

He looked shite in that one too didn't he. Haven't checked the record but I assume you mean that one in Germany?

In saying that I'v seen weirder challengers get WT fights.

[jameswilson]

Anyone with a stable stream can you message me? I can only seem to find one that's a bit jumpy and one where the ads keep spawining every 15 seconds.

On another point nice to see nice guy Eddie out ringside in Texas showing his support to his fighters in difficult fights abroad...... ;;-)

He needs to fight Murray 1st and that's a fight he won't win. Macklin is proven euro level not worl class.

If it was the other way around you'd complain he aint here because he knows it's mismatches.

[liamlion]

Macklin is so clearly shot.

He never had the punch to establish himself at world level and just ships too many punches now.

He simply isnt deserving of a world title shot and he is behind BJS, Murray and Eubank Jr in terms of capability at this stage of his career.

I dont blame him challenging for a world title, he's desperate to hold a world title i just cant see him winning one. Andy Lee would now destroy Macklin within about 6 rounds.

Na it tells me a lot that he's not there backing burns in person.

[brilo33]

nice to see a fighter throw punches at luke campbell for once

[Emmseegee]

Coolhand...... Terrible name.

Towel came in there.

Looked poor against Yebes in Germany, I thought he lost that, then looked shot against Heiland.

Early stoppage for Campbell.

[brilo33]

ha probably shouldn't of. good stoppage for campbell 2nrd. sorry 3rd

[Boxing Prospect]

Nice finish by Campbell, can we see him in with a guy with a pulse next time out though?...

[jameswilson]

Early stoppage for Campbell.

TOWEL CAME IN!
