Comments Thread For: Enzo Maccarinelli’s New Beginning, at Light Heavyweight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - September 18, 2010 wasn’t the best night to be Enzo Maccarinelli. A former world cruiserweight champion, the Welshman had just lost his European title to unbeaten Alexander Frenkel, which wouldn’t normally be that Earth-shattering if not for the fact that it was his fourth defeat in eight fights.

All four came by way of knockout, and this was the worst of the bunch, as a perfect left hook sent him crashing hard to the canvas in the seventh round, snapping his neck on the bottom rope in the process

“To be honest, I was quite surprised I even got up,” Maccarinelli told BoxingScene earlier this week.

So was everyone watching the bout, but the gutsy fighter made it back to his feet. Obviously in no shape to continue, referee Erkki Meronen inexplicably waved Maccarinelli back in, a move widely criticized from the moment the nearly defenseless fighter was drilled again with another left hook and sent back to the canvas. Looking back now, Maccarinelli believes the fight should have been stopped after the first knockdown. [Click Here To Read More]

The ref. let it go on because Macarinelli was winning the fight by a large margin, I suppose. I always liked Enzo, even though he's a chinless caveman. Seems like a good dude and I was very happy to see him go and win that European title when everyone had written him off.

I don't have high hopes for his run at 175, but wish him all the best.

Two British domestic level fighters challenging each other for a WBO belt.

There is a story that seems to repeat itself year after year.

Like Zsolt Erdei defending a WBO Belt against bums?

Enzo was koed recently, when he was commentating...........






.............held the mic to close to his chin

[richardt]

What a load of ****. The guy can't take a cruiserweight punch so he goes down in weight in hopes of finding guys without a punch or whose punch he can take? Talk about desparate. He was practically chisled at Cruiserweight. Dumb decision. Like Pauli Mallinaggi who could not crack an egg at 140....so he goes to 147. How is he going to get respect at 147?

[JimmyMcNulty]

I see it now.

A tune up fight at light heavy vs an ULTRA bum, because a bum would KO him...then...

A 'MASSIVE' fight with Cleverley in Wales, where he will get KOd in the first round.

You watch.

Where is EnzoMacIs**** when you need him?

[gingeralbino]

has anyone seen this guy he's fighting, he's got a few early stoppages to his record and is unbeaten but ive never seen him.

Enzo could get sparked out again, LHWs might not hit as hard, but he's gonna be drained

[SPREAD]

lol he could go down to 168 and i reckon Bute would still knock him out,this guy should retire he was shot after the Haye fight.
