Afolabi Knocks Maccarinelli Out in Nine, Wins WBO Title

[El Chicano]

I was thinking about that too.

The cruiserweight opponents Haye KOed (except for Fragomeni) were all knocked out by other people.

He never fought the ones with the better chins, such as Jones, Arslan and Adamek.

Very good point and post. Hmmm, how would Haye do against Arreola or Sam Peter, not to mention the Klitschko Bros.

I don't know. He just got KTFO by a feather fisted guy who only had 5 KO's previously. Not Good. Nice Avatar, when is Silva fighting again? I'd like to see him against the Spider Silva.

Just saw the fight. Devastating knockout. Gotta feel bad for Enzo, or not. Afolabi was superhyped. Incredible upset. Such elation and euphoria. The thrill of victory, agony of defeat.

I still dont understand why people think this was an upset..Afolabi is a genuine fighter and if you know your boxing then you would have heard about him before.

He just doesnt get the same opportunity that others have and thats why he didnt box for a while, Since he had the opportunity he has grab them with both hands.

He was on FNFs in his last fight, against DeLeon Tinsley.

If yall watched FNFs, you might have known Afolabi would win. ha.

hopefully this gives confidence to Eric Fields, who lasted until the last round agaisnt Afolabi in a fight I hear he was winning. I want to see Fields fight again.

Yeah I also picked Afolabi to win because I knew he had stopped Fields and I thought he showed some great Skills against Tinsley. Even against Tinsley, though, I felt he shouldnt let his opponent work that much. His defense is great, but Afolabi seems to be in danger of getting outworked. I had Macca ahead 5-3.

I saw ola against Fields and was shocked at how good he was, When this fight was annouced i was like NOOOOOOOOO way would Warren put Enzo in there with Afolabi, Am not shock that he lost.

Id never heard of anyone whod seen the Fields fight before. Can you tell a little more about that fight? Was Fields winning? Was it close? Do you think Fields can still be a force, too?

enzo should hang up his gloves. that was awful, taking nothing away from other guy, stick a fork in enzo he's done.

I don't what he or Calzaghe Snr. were thinking, turns out that before the fight one wasn't sparring a single round and the other was in Court with JC trying to extract money from Frank Warren. He vastly under-rated his opponent, and paid the price. I like Enzo, but all the same it's tough **** really. It will be a long way back, and I doubt he'll manage it with getting caught on that increasingly dubious chin again. You just can't get away with that at cruiserweight.

he needs to go away on a holiday somewhere on a island or a place where he can just chill for about 3-4 weeks and get his head straight.
its gonna be a long road back which is why he really needs to think it through
