Re: macklin retires.
Hope it's not a ploy to try and get a big fight. It's good timing, ends on a decent win and will always be involved in the game.

Re: macklin retires.
Fantastic career, and he has set himself up a great future within boxing with MGM Marbella.
I have every expectation that he will be the lead promoter for that outfit now; and I expect undercards for years to come to include 'his' fighters.

Macklin was a lesser British ATG.
He had a good career.
