Hmm very interesting considering there was alot of rumours on this forum a few weeks back saying that this fight wasnt going to go ahead!I cant remember who first said it but they were obviously on to something! :x

gutted for both lads, must be a genuine injury hopefully this fight can still happen

Looks like all the rumours were true
Gutted this was my favourite fight on a top bill...

Gutted.

Will Macklin be fighting a replacement?

:( my wedding present to my 2 best mates has suddenly lost some of its appeal. :(

whoever it was put the 'macklin-barker off' thread up a few weeks ago, if you come on here gloating about this now i will be liable to hunt you down and kill you.

Considering the rumours surfaced a few weeks back, I'd be surprised if Macklin and his team were not working on a replacement as I presume they would have been told that Barker could be a doubt.

What about Proksa - English based, high ranked EBU opponent, should be in decent enough shape.

Belghecam would also be a likely opponent if they were considering one. Maybe even the Belarussian that beat Jamie Moore, he has always been a 'call up late' opponent.

Hopefully Macklin is still on the bill.

Can't understand the point of those types of replies "x2", "x3".

now somebody should write something like that underneath my post.

Aaaaarrrggghh!

Hopefully this will be the only one to fall off the bill.
