You gotta feel for Macca. Poor guy.

Good for him,after those brutal knockouts he just does not have it in him anymore i guess.

[toysale]

I don't know why he doesn't rebuild his confidence and fight some average fighters until he feels confident enough to try again. Or try training properly.

Gutted though, he was a good Swansea boxer.

[D-MiZe]

Decent boxer, he's only 28 as well.

Wonder what he'll do now?

Respect to Enzo. Atleast he picked tough fights. If more guys took challenges like he did, boxing would be even better. He could have cruised on the cards with afolabi when he decided to keep going for the stoppage and got knocked out himself. Also, he didn't have to step in against a dangerous fighter in his last bout. He likely could have milked what talent he had into another crappy strap but he seemed to really want to find out how good he was and get to the top the right way. Enzo was a legit contributor to boxing.

God damn, did he take a beating against that Russian.

That is one of the biggest whompings I think I have ever seen.

Maybe Enzo's done, he just doesn't have the punch resistance, so he is marooned between domestic and European, so if you're risking your health for minimal glory and money, might as well quit if you've been in the upper reaches and you think you have other options.

Yeah, seeing him after the fight with his big ice-pack was tragic. I've never really enjoyed watching Mac that much, but there's something sort of hapless about the guy that makes you like him (I mean 'hapless' in the nicest way possible). Warren stitched him with that matchup.



But,

Who cares about Enzo 'Big Bum' Maccarinelli.

I had to LOL at the raw brutality of this comment.
