    Just when you thought it couldnt get any worse...

    http:// www. boxrec . com/ boxer_ display.php? boxer_id=287895

    This is who Enzo Maccarinelli is now fighting in April, in defense of his WBO title. How DARE Frank Warren call this a world title fight? Cantatore was bad enough, but this guy has only fought 6 times in the last 14 years! He had a lay off between 93 and 2004. His opponents have a combined record of 104-69-6, but 58 of those wins came of Shannon Landberg! The same Shannon Landberg that an ancient Thomas Hearns knocked out 7 months previous. How dare he make us pay for this bull****? They could have had David Haye, but instead we get Bobby Gunn. Thanks a lot Frank, you ****

          Not to mention that he started out his career as a welter/light middle.

          ****, if Maccarinelli doesn't blast him out of there within 3 rounds I will lose all respect for him.

                Definitely. In order for Macca to take the fight he wanted to promote Haye afterwards for 5 fights, win or lose. If he won it was for 4 defences of the WBO title and 1 fight at heavyweight. If he lost it was for 5 fights one of which would be for a title or something like that. What's wrong with there being one fight, winner takes all, just like Haye and his team wanted to do. The simple fact is that Warren doesnt trust his fighters, he has no confidence in them, and so he makes sure he looks after the thing he likes more than anything in the world - himself.

                  alphabet belts and greedy managers / promoters are the ruin of boxing.
