Lee would be one of the easier fights for Macklin.

Lee was just on the radio he said he wants at least another fight with booth under his belt before macklin, doubt he was thinking about barker either when hes was on about another fight.

Delaying the inevitable really. He still makes mistakes at this stage of his career that no trainer on earth can make him change IMO

Was hoping Macklin would get the Geale fight after he mentioned it on Ringside

Macklin would handle Lee inside distance. Good fight, though, about time these UK middleweights started fighting one another.

Definitely, Macklin and Barker being the fight I'd like to see the most.

I was hoping that Andy would come out of the loss of Steward with a set trainer over the course of a few gimme fights. I don't like this for him at all. I mean, it's a good middleweight fight to make, but it's not a good one for him, I don't think. Macklin can apply any style he wants here and probably undo Lee, I hate to say. Lee's good, has some nice moves, can look very good against the right guys, but he's just not on Macklin's level, I don't think. I like them both, if we got a surprise I'd be just as happy for Lee, probably even happier for him, but I'm trying to picture him winning and I think without one of those Canelo/Baldo type punches, I don't see him pulling it off. It's Macklin's to lose, I'd say.

Agreed. Hopefully once Mackin does a number on Lee, both Macklin and Barker will see that the other makes natural sense as a fight, and gives the winner a chance to be the UK number one. Just sending all our guys on lonely missions overseas to get beaten up in world title shots isn't really doing anyone any long term good without high profile wins in the meantime.
