About 9.30 for Macklin and 10.30 for Sturm

Reckon their styles would clash badly. Could see Brook winning a snoozefest and doing more harm to his rep than good.

While I'd love to see Matthew smack the smug looking Strum a good one, he's surely in for a beating here.

Paulie also make sense because he has no power (it would still be a good win for Kell, though).

I think Macklin needs to get the devil in his work tonight to stand a chance

OK, last call for Joe Gallagher, there's still time to run out of the arena at 49-0, Marciano'd up to the max.......

Reckon Sturm takes this widely on point, but may fade late. Good luck to Macklin though, hope he proves me wrong.

On the subject of opponents for Kell, i'd go for Alfonso Gomez

I had a double on Brook and Sturm to both win on points tonight which would net me a decent sum but hope Macklin gives a good account of himself. He'll never get a decision though.

I'm not convinced Macklin can keep this up, but he's doing a great job so far.

19- 19

even shots landed that round probs, sturms slightly sexier to the judges

I guarantee now that even if the next 10 rounds go the same way that Macklin won't get this decision. Just look at Huck v Lebedev a few months ago.

Macklin can't keep this pace up for the whole fight. But then, Sturm can't take too many of these body punches either. Good fight

better round for sturm - but you'd have to say macklins round again.
