    Enzo just doesn't have the chin

    It was another bad accident waiting to happen. Why on earth Enzo still fighting? his chin just doesn't have it. As soon as he's caught clean it's 'lights out' no disrespect to the guy but damn that was another brutal loss for someone who has already suffered as bad losses.

    Khan is exactly the same. He has been protected from punchers since the Prescott blow out. Maidana will shatter his jaw.

      Don't agree about Khan. He's been KO'd once. Enzo 5 times now and more or less in similar fashion.

      I gived Khan the benefit of the doubt; to big for lightweight + unknown opponent + shítty/no gameplan + coming off the back of starving for a month + ****yness = Khan being layed out.

      Let's wait until the Maidana fight until we judge him as not good enough to compete. Better trainer, at a better weight and more discipline to stick to a gameplan and an opponent they know. I predict Khan will win.

        He was done after Lebedev. He shouldn't have been in the ring after that.

          i really don't think it is 100% chin issue. I tend to think it's a big problem in british boxing. Offense is way more priortised in british boxing, with defence being neglected.

          They tend to over commit and walk on to big clean shots more usually when in attack mode.

          I'm not saying they have great chins but over aggression plays a big part too.

            wasn't this common knowledge? I mean I saw that he was fighting (and not retired) and said to myself, oh I guess Enzo isn't doing getting brutally KTFO yet.

              Well that's very true, I mean Enzo has been caught with absolute monster shots everytime. It seem his defence is almost non-existent at times, he was wide open again! It's been cracked to many times now, he cant possibly carry on from this loss. Enzo pass losses were bad enough KO's but this was quite something else, that shot was an absolute monster, the first KD was a heavy enough shot! Enzo chin has been exposed far to many times, it was a desperate attempt by Enzo to get back to the top again, credit to him.
