macklin retires.

[Anzi]

BJS would have beat them all so doesn't really matter that much.

I really don't get that logic.

Me neither, I think a prime Macklin would ko Billie jo

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.

[CaptainSpacerod]

nice to see a certain D Kinahan get a mention in his farewell thank you message

Comes across as a decent chap does Matthew but to associate with scumbags like him let alone thank the pudendum calls into question Matthew's judgement and, sad to say, his morals

[TheCobra]

Good decision, the wars have caught up with him - at least he went out with a win.

[sammy95]

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.

[Boxerbeetle]

I imagine he'll make a good trainer - he seems to have worked with nearly every top level trainer, presumably he's picked up a shitload of knowledge along the way.

Yes, timing is key.

I'll probably bugger it up.

A lesser ATG?

He's Irish, not in any way British.

Whatsoever. At all. Honest.

A lesser ATG?

Or an ATL as you might know them.

Who else is a lesser British ATG?

That's better I appreciate you humouring me

Fair one. What about Junior Witter?
