Not a great fight by any means but it was competitve,i never scored but i thought Macklin might have done enough to edge it although it was close,Rose took a bit longer to get going and i thought Macklin threw the more hurtful punches

Judges aren't going to go agsinst Macklin with his back-up.

Macklin / Lee surely has to be next for Macklin

It should happen.

Froch calling it a 'good domestic fight' and a 'British level fight' and that you couldn't see them stepping in with any of the world champs - hard to argue with any of that.

How has Rachel coiffed Carl's hair tonight?

I missed the Russian show last night, how was it?

Totally - i really like Froch as a pundit. Honest, pretty insightful and always ready to talk about the 80,000 at Wembley.

Nick Halling is crawling out of his skin to big up Vargas. lol

Any rods please

wtf is this fight all about?!Mcdonnell must be thinking this is my "homecoming"...?!

Macklin maybe did enough to win it, I maybe had it a point or two closer, could have went either way. However he did look shot, and also bit of a disgrace that he couldn't do the weight. It was for a meaningful prize on Sky Box Office, poor show IMO. Would like to see him knock it on the head now. Go out with a win on Sky box office (albeit whilst still light outside).

Wow Vargas looks so different from when he boxed DeLAHoya.... Has he had plastic surgery? I always used to like the little blonde streak he used to have in his hair.... I guess he's changed his look.....

Giving everyone in the arena an hour at the bar getting pissed up.

Vargas has no right to be fighting for a 'world' title. What happened to the days when champions fought non-title bouts?

I don't understand how Fernando Vargas lost that much weight and got a world ranking! Amazing. It even change the shape of his head!

Watched one McDonnell fight watched them all zzzz
