    Maccarinelli to face Cunningham?


    By Craig Phillips: It looks increasingly like Enzo Maccarinelli will meet Steve “USS” Cunningham at the MEN Arena on March 14 for the vacant WBO Cruiserweight title.

    Maccarinelli was looking to a bout with Jonathan Banks but Banks withdrew from a December date for the contest and he now looks set to face new IBF champion Tomasz Adamek in Adamek’s first defence of the title he won from Cunningham in one of the fights of 2008.

    Although nothing is signed for a fight between the two yet, sources close to the Cunningham camp have said that a deal would be easy to do as both Frank Warren and Don King are already working together on the event which sees Amir Khan face Marco Antonio Barrera in the main event.


    Maccarinelli lost the WBO title last March when he was blown away by David Haye in a unification bout but he is now looking to reclaim his belt.

    The appointment of Cunningham as opponent would probably be welcomed by Sports Network as they will most probably look to put the card on pay per view in the UK and a big fight between two of the top cruiserweights in the world would add selling power to the card.

    Not a bad fight. Guerillmo Jones versus Adamek is the one I wanna see.

    I like both guys so I can't decide who I'd root for.

    Enzo didn't do himself any favors getting blasted out on American tv against Haye though.

      LOL. He did look like a drunken brit stepping out from a bar.

      Credit to Warren, if this is made, though.

        I'll put 10k on Cunningham.

        Hopefully they get Herbie Hide instead though.

          Man, I LOVE HERBIE.

          For most of his career, he either ko'ed the guy or got ko'ed.

          He's like the Alejandro Berrio of the uk or something. Or like the John Mugabe of the uk.

          They fight like they are in prison. Get or be got.
          I love fighters like that.

          WAR HERBIE (but he's fighting Godfrey in a title eliminator in june i believe)

                Interesting fight.Right now I'd kinda take Cunningham by UD.He has the tools to outbox Maccarinelli.

                  Herbie Hide is fighting Godfrey in Germany - the fight has already been signed.

                  I'll put 25 K on Cunningham, if anybody wants it...

                    The thing with the Enzo/Haye fight was whoever landed the first clean shot won the fight, they both said that.
