I watched a few rounds of Enzo's fight on Saturday and he's got a really nice array of punches, all thrown with very nice technique, but boy do they need him to work his levels instead of standing as if he's got an iron rod running up his spine.
Even if he's blocking shots, he takes the full impact, which in turn, is going to tire him out. Imagine Wayne Braithwaite steaming in at him, it wouldn't last long. I think we can say that although Enzo's chin may not be the most sturdy, there are ways to lessen the impact of shots and being just that bit more elusive.
Plus points though. He's young and did 12 rounds comfortably, even if it was a bit one paced.
Hope they don't chuck him in a really big fight too soon cos I think he's coming along quite nicely.

Agreed, that is his most major failing, he's got the stance of a meer cat, neck elongated with his chin floating tantalisingly in the air.
I think the stance may be what helps generate his punch power though, as his uppercuts are one of his best weapons, I think he may find the adjustment hard to make, but he has to make it if he wants to succeed at higher levels. He's a lethal puncher and has good handspeed for a big man, but I do wonder about his conditioning, he always looks suspiciously soft entering the ring, and I am sure he would benefit from a different training regime.
