LAS VEGAS -- When last seen in the ring, middleweight contender Matthew Macklin had given lineal champion Sergio Martinez a very tough fight in March. Macklin knocked the champ down in the seventh round but could not capitalize. Martinez, who is a great finisher, rallied to drop him twice in the 11th round before Macklin's corner stopped the fight at the end of the round. It was a gallant effort, one that came on the heels of a June 2011 fight on the home turf of then-titleholder Felix Sturm in Germany.
