Asikainen was badly knocked out in his last fight by a non puncher in Gevor so my guess is that the odd makers have him on the down slide. I was expecting more like 1/2 or 1/3 for Macklin.

Worth a bet on Asikainen.

Amin is a cracking fighter. I saw his fights against Sylvester and he is strong as a bull.

If Macklin brings the intencity that he did for the Elcock fight i think he'll do a job on Asikainen.

back the underdog then..macklin will be priced up different because he;s english etc..if you think it's 50/50 get on the other kid

I gave him 4 fights on DVD, that should help him

Maybe the bookies priced Macklin up so short based on this earth shattering information!

i think macklin will win and possibly win well, as long as he follows the new, more educated pressure style he has grown into with Joe Gallagher. jabs to the body and plenty of movement on the way in, then combinations on the inside.

Asikainen is in great shape i just recently went to his training camp he is looking very sharp and has7 great sparring partners I think this fight has come a bit to soon for Matthew he should have fought Barker first I like Matthew but I think they have picked the wrong guy by trying to rush into a euro title
