The Ring won't put Macklin ahead of Sylvester (No.2) and Williams (No.3) for beating Asikainen (No.6).

Amin's eyes in that last photo are very 'starey', for lack of a better word.

Dont worry about that mate - Macklin always gets a good crowd.
He will be bringing that belt back to Brum

Yes, that pic really highlights that Ricky is a 10 stone fighter, no more. To think up untill recently Matthew was a Light Middle (and still doesn't look a big middle) and Ricky was at Welter. They look like poles apart in terms of weight.
Asikainen looks ripped to shreds, maybe he is tight at the weight. Matthew looks comfortable.

I agree, and I think that he might have been bigger at one stage. Funny thing is that I thik the "non-Irish" opposition in the three fights I am most interested in at the moment (Dunne-Poonsawat, Macklin-Askiainen and Rogan-Sexton) are all underpriced and good values for the win. DOnt get me wrong I hope none of them win but I think I will be having a small wager on them all - possibly all to win by KO.
I agree they are all underpriced, as is Cotto v Pac.

I actually thought Ricky looks in a tad better shape than when he met Ali. Not a lot, but a tad. He looks tiny frame wise next to Macklin (although I would say is weighing a stone more). But he should never even think about chasing a big money fight at 154.

Denton's contract with Warren ended and he is still without a promotioner backing him, though a good performance tonight should see him being picked up by Hatton
Pretty decent little undercard tonight interesting fight is between a Dane and an Italian which is listed on boxrec, anyone know why this fight is on the bill?
