Murray the no1 middleweight and Macklin with egg on face

[Japp]

Macklin-Can't help but laugh at the comments he comes out with. What can he actually say to the times he calls murray. He ain't good enough and so on and murray is a fool thinking he could beat , he is just a glove seller.
Well Mathew eat your words , the is only you being laughed at now - Murray should fight Tony hills and so on (no offence meant Tony your a decent lad) but what a miss match it would be
Let's get the facts right Murray was desperate for a chance and accepted to fight macklin which to be fair mackin ko'd cos of his sturm fight, he was desperate to fight barker but barker wouldn't , so he keeps his gob shut doesn't call anyone and patiently waits his chance comes and in only his second 12 rounder comes mighty close and does a better job than barker and Murray to become number 1 middleweight in the uk in less time than anyone , god help him in two or three fights time
Well done Martin a fantastic effort and I bet you don't get a re match .
Macklin won't get the Martinez cos de Bella is a shark, I'd put my house on Lee vs macklin and the winner fighting Martinez , so the winner is de Bella with a packed house on paddies day .
On another note , barker . Well done very honest on sky and paying Murry the respect he deserved after the performance . He and Murray seem gentleman . Be nice see them in the ring together but better for both if say Murray takes strums title first
Anyway goodluck to all three of them but my opinion is boxing ability 1- Murray , 2 just macklin through desire and more strength 3 barker
Attitude ratings 1 level Murray and barker
2 - don king
Number 38 mighty magic macklin
Ha no offence just a joke
On serious note be good like a super 6 but a super 3 competion

If Murray is no.1 now,the rest of the Brits must be average!!

[Japp]

Ha ha you have to get one idiot who can take the shine off a fantastic performance . Pure class Martin .
Macklin and barker ain't average they both had tremendous efforts so sssh dutchie

[Bricks]

is her dutch?

[fasteddie]

in my opinion the number 1 middleweight in britain at the min is barker followed by murray and macklin a very close third but there isnt much between the three.

Dont see the point in this thread. Murray, Macklin & Barker all gave a really good account of themselves fighting for worl titles. I was one person who scored Macklin winning his and also the same with Murray having re-watched the fight and we all know Barker just had nothing left.

What is wrong with someone being really p!ssed off with a win? People react differently and Murray was much more relaxed about his performance where Macklin was much more emotional which you cannot blame after some shaky scoring.

Anyway, I wish all 3 the best and bigger happen for the lot and 1 or 2 all british title fights would be amazing.

Agreed - anyone else fancy my suggestion of a tournament - Barker, Murray, Macklin and Lee?

Two co-main events on one night then a final a few months later?

Ofcourse, it would be fantastic, but what are the chances of the promoters co-operating with each other for the sake of the fans? Macklin, Barker and Murray have different promoters who will be more concerned with their own interests first and foremost. It's an obvious thought to put them together, unfortunatly just don't see it happening.

Well said 

Yeah, Macklin's inked a deal with Lou 'I own the middleweights'DiBella, is living and training in New York with trips to the UK thrown in, has a big US profile as he was the first 'robbery' victim, and is likely to take on Sergio Martinez in St. Pat's day on America's East Coast in front of a huge crowd and for a decent wedge.

He must feel like a right tit.
