Review: several of the most respected boxing magazines voted the fight Jamie Moore vs Matthew Macklin as “fight of the year”, and it was definitely one of the greatest fights of 2006. Jamie Moore (24-3-0) defended for the second time his British light middleweight title (BBBofC) against the young and promising Macklin, who had lost just once, right in his previous attempt to win the British light middleweight title (against Andrew Facey).
