Macklin destroys Elcock in round three! He looked a level above, did Macklin - overhand right did the damage. On this performance Macklin would give Barker a HELLUVA fight. Lets get it on!

Shame Macklin's big performance is on the same night as Khan.

Macklin has clearly improved with Joe Gallagher.

Thought Macklin would do it. I remember guys here saying Elcock's chin wasn't good and Macklin is quite mobile and can punch. Elcock fights stiff.

Elcock has never been too sturdy in the beard department and it let him down again last night. He's a smart boxer but Macklin just walked through him with the power. Barker or McDermott next would be tasty.

macklin finally delivers.

thought he never would tbh.

thought elcock might fiddle him out of this.

had a terrible night on the predictions last night.

HitmanHatton1 Picks.

Amir Khan vs Marco Antonio Barrera - Barrera KO4
Enzo Maccranelli vs Ola Afolabi - Enzo KO6
Nicky Cook vs Roman Martinez - Cook MD
Bradley Pryce vs Mathew Hall - Pryce KO4
Wayne Elcock vs Mathew Macklin - Elcock UD

That was razor sharp form Macklin. Good that he and Mooresy are doing so well. Their fight could have ruined many a fighter but great to see both have moved on/up from that.

Such a good result for Macklin but inevitably ppl are talking about Warren's card.

A few ppl were sure that it was a perfect fight for Macklin - trainer Joe Gallagher had zero doubts - but still a very good win and he did it better than Abraham did Elcock.

yeah tell me about it.

got promoted back to the top flight in the old doghouse predictions.

got a feeling relegation is looming for this month though.

went bute on pts as well.

I missed this knockdown I was channel hopping between this and the Cook-martinez fight. I hopped over to Cook and missed the Macklin finish, then was watching replays of the Macklin finish and missed the Cook KO. Bloody too much boxing on haha.

Didnt see the fight- did Macklin really improve alot? He was a bit fo a brawler when I saw him last.

that's the best I have seen Matthew

he seems to fight up to the level of his comp. I was very impressed with the way he picked his shots

the left uppercut between Elcock'sgloves was a real class shot and Elcock's left leg went through 270 degrees, he was 'gone' from that moment

i meant to ask:

does the Macklin win become even better in hindsight for Jamie Moore? beating, albeit a 'weight-drained' Macklin, looks pretty good after Macklin wrecked a man 2 rounds quicker than the hammerfisted Abraham...

Macklin did look really good I think he can do a job at world level a fight with Barker would be brilliant

See the fight photos to Macklins entrance music now ...

I think so, but Macklin showed a lack experience that night and Mooresy experience.

You could see Macklin visible running out of steam as the rounds went by and he refused to change tactics.

He did a good job on Elcock but I think most Top British guys would..Elcock ran from Eastman from what I heard - anyone see that fight?

Good win for Macklin!

Is Macklin a top 10 middle yet?
