Can't find any info anywhere chaps. Ready to have my biggest bet of the year on Moore but don't want to steam in until I know he's made weight OK. Anyone have any idea?

Moore was bang on the weight, Macklin was 1/2 a lb under.

Can't wait for this one. Backed Moore all along, but not with any great certainty.

Cheers States.

Keep your money in your pocket Dereck. Or better yet, grab a bit of Macklin at 6/5

He is gonna win this one. Being 1/2lb under tells me the Brummie is in the shape of his life (which he will need to be).

Youth and talent will be served in this fight. Macklin late.

Any pics of the weigh in?

I wouldn't lay much on the outcome of this one, don't think anyone can be too certain of the outcome: Macklin looks promising, but Moore looks to be holding the aces, apart from maybe punch resistance.

I'm leaning towards Macklin though...

I'm away now. Moore inside after bashing Matt up. You know it makes sense...

Jeeze! Macklin looks in great shape.

Man, training with Kerry Kaye's certainly has it's conditioning benifits!

any update on what's happening

It's a cracker. Moore started better, Macklin coming back. Very close now

Thanks. Could you post the final result when it finishes? Cheers.

Jamie Moore wins by KO in the 10th..... Fight of the year no question.

Worrying signs a bit for Macklin.... still down.

I had Maclin ahead at the time of stoppage in round 10.

Macklin was very tired from the 8th onward, he set a furious pace and seemed to come close to stopping Moore the round before, but he was completely exhausted when he came out for the 9th and 10th. Massive left right (or was it right left) droppped him like a sack of spuds, never saw it coming.

Hope he's ok, it was a bad knockout.

Macklin showed such courage in there, where he found the will and desire to keep on fighting through such fatigue is quite incredible.

Please god he's not badly hurt. He was pretty defenceless when he took those last two shots.

I had Macklin in a big lead. I thought Moore needed a few 10-8 rounds to win the cards. Whilst he was reckless, I thought his non stop aggression was winning him most of the rounds. Why didn't he box though? He really did fight Moore's fight.

Hate to be a big head, but fight went exactly as i said, now why didn't i put some money on it

I was going to come on here after the 4th and predict Moore KO9, wish I had now.

You could see after a few rounds that Moore was calm under fire, and fancied himself to take Macklin late on. However, Moore was gambling a bit, because he was allowing Macklin to take rounds by dint of doing more work, being more aggressive and landing enough shots.

Macklin looked like turning it around despite the fact he was getting more and more tired as the rounds went on. He summoned up every dreg of energy he had to keep himself in the fight, but there was not enough art in his work and too much desire.

Moore was clearly the smarter fighter, and was really bossing the fight overall, despite the fact he was behind on my card, you kind of knew that Macklin was going to sputter to a halt. He punched himself out in the first 4 rounds.

Yep, and give Jim Watt credit - he said this early and also thought (around 8th and 9th) that he Macklin might prove him wrong.

Yes, he looked one punch away from stopping Moore in the 7th and 9th rounds. Watt decided early on that Moore looked like he was going to win, and he was right, but he was amazed how Macklin kept threatening to turn it around.

Macklin looks far too big to be fighting at 154, he's a very thick set guy, looked much much bigger than more around the chest and shoulders.

I thought at the start of the ninth "Macklin's going to do this". It just seem to go all of a sudden. He was tired and reckless from the 4th, but for me won most (if not all) of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. I thought in the 9th that he was going to last the course, fighting as he was. However, I was wrong - and should have trusted good ol' Jim.

Damn!

I regret not going to the pub to see if I could catch this now.

Me too

I didn't get to catch it live (wish I did) but going to watch the replay at 2am on SS2.

Find it hard to believe it would beat Somsak Sithchatchawal Vs Mahyar Monshipour for FOTY though.
