    In this thread we pay respect to Alexander Frenkel

    Go to 2:24 in the below video, watch his reaction after he knocks out Macca. Very subdued and very sportsman like. Doesn't celebrate at all, he just waits by quietly with respect. Doesn't even break smile. There is no emotion of victory. He knew he hurt Macca. In a sport full of ****heads its great to see genuine sportsman ship, my hat goes off to him. No reason to dislike this guy.

    The ref should of stopped it after the first knockdown, Macca was out on his feet.

        Not when someone's immediate health looks at risk. There's a time to celebrate and a time to be considerate. I remember Benn looking like a right knob head celebrating whilst Gerald McClellan was spread on the floor receiving oxygen.

          The more I watch it, the more I cringe. But yeah respect to Frenkel, I think he was very surprised Enzo was back on his feet to be honest. He had to do what he had to do at the end of the day. Let's just hope Enzo is OK, and he can do something else in boxing in the future.

            He seemed disgusted with the ref with everyone else.

              That was a very passionate fight where everyone had wrote Benn off and to be fair Benn couldn't see what was going on in the corner.

                I agree. But needless to say it'd take a ****head to celebrate in that occasion.

                  He seemed cool in the pre-fight interviews too.

                    I agree, he didn't know the full details, but it did affect him as he slowly slipped after that fight. I tought I should include that McClellan was a true warrior, you could see something was wrong with him from the 4th round and onwards but he kept coming. Great fight by two great fighters;
