Macklin in better shape than he was for Sergio, and he wasn't in bad shape then either. Might want to get a haircut in anticipation of those head snapping jabs from GGG though.

I really do hope Mack is getting paid well for the punishment he's gonna absorb. Rosado was on his bike and still left the ring all ****** up. GGG's power adds a lot of mileage so Mack's defense better be impeccable.

Macklin always turns up in terrific shape, but I wonder does he look like he's in better shape now or is it cause he shaved his chest?

Regardless he does look leaner than normal!

Will be interesting to see how GGG handles his first big test at MW. It took Martinez a while to get rid of Macklin and IMO he also beat Sturm.

I hope for boxing's sake GGG does a number on MM to get HBO even more behind him and force the other champs at MW to fight him.

I think he brought a great gameplan to the Sergio fight, but he's going to need something completely new this time. He did a good job of forcing Sergio to take the lead and he held the centre of the ring well, but if he does that against GGG he'll only be encouraging him.

Alternatively he doesn't really have the footwork to outmanoeuvre GGG either so he's going to have to try and get his respect to keep him off. That won't be too easy against a guy who's never been dropped in 400 or so pro and amateur fights.

Your sig is crazyyyyyyy!

Yup, Rosado was in great shape and we all know how that ended. Matt just doesn't have the boxing skill to keep GGG off of him. He's there to be hit. GGG by brutal stoppage in 4 rounds.

Rosado was a natural 154 guy.

Macklin has a high workrate but easy to hit. Watch GGG hit him all day long. Macklin will look OK at times because he is so busy Of course.

Hard to see macklin withstanding the GGG assault but it is always great when guys like him and GGG come in top shape.
