he must have been pissed off - but i wonder what his reaction would have been if he had known at the time. for example if the venue had a big screen with a 3 minute clock counting down on a screen in view of the fighters & their corner.

Im just surprised they didnt go the whole hog and switch the lights off!. This stunk to high heaven but the saddest thing is that I want even very surprised. As for Enzo he should seriously consider his future, if he is wise he will take this early/late Chistmas present and retire before he gets hurt, which he will do if he carries on fighting. With his vulnerbility, accummulated punishment and his ill advised weight yo-yoing hes an accident waiting to happen.

If it was a con designed to save Enzo then it failed miseraby. Every second between rounds is vital to the recovery of a boxer and the timekeeper gave Enzo only 30 seconds rest between round 1 and 2! Luckily for Enzo his opponent was so terrible that he couldn't capitalise further in the next three rounds while Enzo was still like Bambi on ice.

Hi Tommy; If Shane was glad to share a ring with Enzo he certainly didn't want to lose; and if he got cheated out of a win against someone he admired I'dve thought a 30 day bender wouldn't make it right. There have been a couple of things lately that've made it seem like boxing was a 'carny' affair and been done in the 'tank towns'. If Kirkland can win by DQ in last nights bout after losing the fight in the rng, is anything possible in boxing any more, even in front of the camera?
Im sure he will be when he comes round from his well earned 12 day bender

Enzo Maccarinelli recover from two early knock-downs to take Shane McPhilbin's British cruiserweight belt.

Maccarinelli won a unanimous verdict in Wolverhampton, with the judges scoring the contest 115-111, 116-111, 115-110 in his favour.

But the 31-year-old Welshman was in severe trouble in the opening rounds as McPhilbin twice floored the challenger.

Why was it likely down to incompetence? Don't you think the "incompetent" early stoppage of the round coinciding with Enzo getting saved from being knocked out was a bit odd?

I don't see why so many people are jumping in to try to whitewash this incident. It is clearly something that needs to be investigated and it is not something that should be swept under the carpet.

If Chisora's behaviour needed to be made an example of then the same certainly applies to what happened on Friday.

So if the idea was to end the round early as Mac was in trouble, it was pretty significant that the break betwen rounds hardly did him any favours. Just looking at the simplest solution, really.

If people are sure that there was something more sinister involved then, fair enough. I can only go by what I saw and base it off that.

bengulnaci1 wrote:PS Never expect the media to tell it how it really is. They know what side their bread is buttered. And Enzo will continue on and get sparked out again, unfortunately.

Perhaps the timekeeper did that on purpose to make himself look incompetent rather than corrupt. Like Crusader said 30 seconds of rest is better than getting none.
