Big Enzo vs Big Hobson.

oops John Rawling just accidently advertised the BBC. Sure Steve Bunce will be chuffed.

Rediculously bias commentary from Duke McKenzie in the Alexander fight.

An exciting great well matched fight that could have gone either way.

The draw would have been good, would have made for an exciting rematch!

I thought it should of went to Hobson on a close 114 - 113.

Really glad Enzo won, he's a genuine, down to earth type of guy who always shows respect to opponents.

But I had Hobson winning by 1 round. A draw would have been a fair result.

Enzo really does need to work on his defence, stamina and putting fast combinations together.

Real edge of the seat stuff from these two top chaps. Well done to both.

Enzo didnt fight his normal fight, he showed Hobson alot of respect i though and that helled him back.

Enzo will get pelted by Haye - Hobson's jab was enough to keep him backed up until Hobson got knackered, and he doesn't appear to have any sort of ability on the backfoot - something he's going to need when he finds out that chasing a guy with Haye's power is a really bad idea.

This was a cracking fight.

I thought Enzo just about took it.

The knockdown sealed it for him.

I had Hobson two rounds up; cracking fight though.

Excellent fight I really enjoyed it.

Both guys showed a lot of class in and outside of the ring. It was a close gruelling fight that could have gone either way.

A rematch would get a lot of attention I would imagine.

Seriously ???

Having seen that I'd think Haye would KO him at anytime in the fight. Don't forget Hobson was jabbing Mac's head off for a lot of the fight and he hadn't fought in quite a while. Haye has more power, quicker hands and more skills than Hobson.

Don't think Mac should be put in with Haye to be perfectly honest. Hobson would be a good idea for rounds for Haye.

However, I think Hobson deserves a rematch with Mac and even if he doesn't get it there's no reason why he couldn't have an equally succesful career as Mac if he wished to.

I thought Hobson won that fight!! Enzo just ate his jab all night, and apart from dropping him, and a few good rounds, failed to really stamp any authority. Hobson took it for me. Great fight though, would love to see it again.

I had Hobson by 3 rounds. If he had had more preparation I think he may have done even better. May have stopped Enzo. But its a good division. I tihnk Haye would KO Enzo inside 2-3 rounds. He hangs his chin out too much. I think Hobson would be tougher but I would go with Haye again. However if Haye got caught by either of them he would go. I think there are some good fights that could be made between the 3.

Fantastic fight that, Enzo won it for me by a couple of rounds, he showed he's got the heart for a real fight, was impressed by that showing, Hobson is a real warrior, he took some really hurtful shots to head and body from Macca.

Enzo will get murdered if he fights Haye though, he'll get sparked the first time Haye lands anything significant.

Hobson was boxing his ears off at points, and Haye is way faster and hits much harder.

I had Hobson the winner, he appeared to land with more punches, but Enzo's looked the more impressive when they hit the target.

I have to take my hat off to Enzo though, he showed he has plenty of substance to go along with the heavy artillery. He still has lot's of flaws but if he keeps showing the dedication to the game that he has done, I think he could move onto some kind of respectable world honour.

Hobson deserves a break, and it would be nice to see Frank Warrén sign him up and get him the fights he has been so so lacking the last 12 months or so.

Seeing Enzos performance against Hobson confirms my thoughts. Nelson would've beaten him handily!

Good fight though, I had Hobson to nick it!

Autobarn · Post by **Autobarn** » 06 Mar 2006, 06:58

I think a good, long, hard fight like that will have been a great benefit to both men. I give 'em both a chance to beat Haye, as with Haye so far it's all been easy KO's (aside from Thompson). Damn, makes me wonder how Hobson-Haye would've have gone. Mark's got a terrific outside game and is a lot tougher than I believed he was.

If none of them manage to secure a bigger fight how about a Maccarinelli v Hobson rematch on the undercard of a Williams vs Skelton rematch?
