    Got to respect Braithwaite for the shots he took. Didnt do a whole lot offensively, but he wasnt given too much opportunity, but some of the shots he took were pretty ****ing solid. You could see he'd had enough of the body-shots by the end.

            Thats because if Braithwaite threw, he would have been ko'd. He'd let his defense down, and Enzo would have ko'd him then.

              I'd like to see Mac test Ding-a-ling's chin in his next fight.

                very good fight, enzo deffinatly impressed me after i had second thoughts about the dude. He showed heart, power and determination to win. I think a fight between him and haye would be a fantastic contest.

                  My boy Enzo didn't let me down. Given the jump up in class you always wonder but he put on a show and I think he showed some people as predicted. He's come on a hell of a way since joining the Calzaghe camp - not so much physically but mentally he's much more astute.

                  I didn't put much credence in Joe's comment during the week but he was spot on - Enzo's jab is ****ing awesome which, when added to a world class left hook and ever improving right hand makes him one dangerous mofo.

                  Kudos to Braithwaite though - how the **** did he survive some of them shots, especially that uppercut and some brutal body shots.

                    I agree completely.

                    I had my reservations about Enzo and worried he couldn't box or take a shot.

                    Tonight he boxed magnificently and completely outclassed the very capable Braithwaite.

                    Braithwaite took some unbelievable punishment at times and did well to stay in there.

                    I'd like to see Enzo in with Steve Cunningham and go for the IBF title which I believe he would win fairly easily then take the winner of the Mormeck - Haye fight but....these things usually never happen.

                    He came in very light tonight and I think he could still lose a few pounds, so could he make Light Heavy?

                      It was nice to win the last minute 10,000 point bet with Raesaad - it made this fight more interesting!
