Macklin V Rose

Does anyone know what weight they're fighting at? With Macklin moving down to light middle and Rose moving up seems a strange time to make the fight

Macklin looked dreadful against Welborne, if he must carry on with his career he'd be (marginally) better off returning to Middle.

Fight is at middle. I pick Rose, thats down to how bad Macklin has gone as appose to how good Rose is.
Dont rate Rose tbh. Done really well for himself, genuine example of hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard

Rose
He isn't great, but Macklin is finished.

I don't rate rose if Macklin is half his former best he should win this I hope

Sadly I don't think Macklin is half his former best. I'd like him to win but I can't see past Rose.craigjenkins05 wrote:I don't rate rose if Macklin is half his former best he should win this I hope

Is it harsh to say Macklin cuts a sad figure who looks to be fighting on through necessity.

Rose will outlast Macklin if he manages to make it past the third. Fancy Macklin to come out firing then fade badly.

I fancy Rose on points.
Good crossroads fight.
Can't see either fighting for a world title again though.

I think Rose in a good scrap. His rematch with Carson Jones was great funpyenest77 wrote:Agree rose wins in a stinker.

Dont rate Rose tbh. Done really well for himself, genuine example of hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard
One of the most naturally talented boxers Ive ever seen.

Rose is a solid domestic fighter. Probably slots somewhere inbetween domestic/European and world level. Never been his biggest fan but I think he'll have too much for Macklin.gmanji wrote:Are you for real? Brian has been boxing since 11, record of 95 fights 10 losses, countless England vests.

Fancy Rose, he's at the level, where as Macklin is regressing and also I can't think the MGM stuff is a mental help.

Would like to see Macklin roll back the years, hasn't looked on the ball for a good while now... make or break.

Wonder if his manager/backers have turned up this week ? bet Eddies' been caking it all week, looked a few more security guards than normal at the press conference.

I think he'll go for it early then run out of steam. He'd have obviously watched the first Jones fight and fancies he can do a similar job. I'm sure Rose will be expecting an early onslaught though.Furey wrote:Would like to see Macklin roll back the years, hasn't looked on the ball for a good while now... make or break.
