How do you see these two getting on tonight. Macklin by far has the harder task in Strum and I dont think he will have enough. Brook should beat Ndou without much problem but Ndou can be annoying to fight and at time frustrating. Will be interesting to see if brook can stop him.
I will be impressed if Kell can get Ndou out of there. i'm 10 minutes beehind on sky plus. Macklin has it all to do. Heart says he will do it but my head agrees with you. I want to see richard towers as well. I'm really interested to see how he will cope with a guy who can take a lick.
Sturm won by a split decision. I have no complaints with Sturm winning as it was a close fight that could have gone either way, but two of the judges had it 116-112 which I thought was ridiculous. It wasn't a robbery at all but it will become one in my mind because of the scoring. Macklin fought tremendously well but Sturm did that bit cleaner work. It was a great fight. Maybe a foty candidate.
Agreed, nowhere near a travesty/fix like some other fights in Germany, but 116-112!!!! Wouldn't it be great if you could get some Las Vegas judges to score the same fight without knowing the result and see what they came up with. I reckon they would have posibly favoured Macklin's come forward aggression and higher workrate. No shame for Macklin to lose though and if he handles the defeat the right way, his time will come.
