Macklin, 29, is currently ranked #4 by the WBA, #7 by the WBO, and #12 by the IBO, and has nothing but big fights on his mind as he joins the same promotional roster as middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and middleweight contenders Andy Lee, Brian Vera, Ronald Hearns, Peter Manfredo, Jr., and Ishe Smith. Coming off a close loss to \u201cSuper\u201d WBA middleweight titlist Felix Sturm, Macklin is looking for redemption under a new promotional banner, a deal to bring him to the United States that was facilitated by Brian Peters, his manager since 2005.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yesterdays-News-Pamela-Jean-Murawski\/dp\/1607036185\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1310486560&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\" http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/yesterdays-news-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DiBella Entertainment has added Irish middleweight contender Matthew \u201cMack the Knife\u201d Macklin (28-3, 19 KOs) to its ever-growing stable of fighters.
