Enzo Maccarenelli has admitted his motivation for winning his fight on Saturday............

"So I can give my kids a good life if I win"

If he loses - he will fall back down to British title level - which will also mean smaller purse money - and lower standard of titles.

This has caused Enzo to draw a line in the sand this Saturday .................lose and he will retire from boxing !!!!!!!

But Maccarenelli is motivated.

He is a Dad of four kids - and the local paper also mentioned his missus is pregnant with another on the way.

Enzo is not just trying to secure his own future - but his kids future too

That is why he plans to unleash hell on Lebedev this Saturday - and knock him spark out

Maccarenelli then will gun for a rematch with Ola Alfoabi and then gun for a World title belt again

But lose.............his career is over..............and his kids future less secure

Its a must win fight for Enzo Maccarenelli

He will also ditch his entrance theme tune this Saturday of Tom Pettys "Wont back down"

And he will enter the ring to AC/DC track - ThunderStruck - in tribute to the late Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

Bring on Saturday night in Manchester !!!!!!!!!!

Fair play to him, let's hope it goes ok for him

good luck to enzo at least he sounds motivated and hungry unlike his disappointing performance against olafabi.If he cant beat the likes of lebedev no disrespect to the russian i agree he should retire

Who's he been training with anyone know?

Karl Ince, sending through quotes from Karl and Enz' later this evening.

whose he been sparring with Terry heard one or two rumours they weren't on the large side.

Really looking forward to this fight.

Even if he loses, there will still be pay days ahead, not massive, for sure, but never the less it's money and work.

His plan of unleashing hell... well.... didn't he do that against Afolabi? Lets just see how Lebedev can take it!

Terry D wrote: Don't know never saw them in the nude, kidding, of course. Carl Dilks last I heard. Got a list on my recorder, will put it into the ints.

Lebedev is wide open down the middle, comes in straight lines, right hand will work against him, perfect punch when he is attacking.

Not seen anything of him to be honest. How has he found training with Karl Ince?

Taking this fight shows a great deal of confidence- following recent results, he would have been entitled to a "comeback" 8 rounder against Grurnikk Skipplpolz (12-22-1 ,5 Kos) etc. (Similar to Smith and Mitchell's fights)

Enzo is (or could be) a really good fighter. World class. That said its a stupid match to make. If he beats this guy whose going to give a shit? If he loses he's even further demoted.

Oh, I'd say if he can comfortably beat Lebedev, then he is really "back in the mix." He was sort of "in the mix" already, when he fought Afolabi, so a good win will put him back in that position.

Its a brave fight to take, but yeah, a very credible win if he can do it.

Enzo said in the local paper that 2008/2009 had been a horrible year for him boxing wise and personal life - so maybe his moral was at a all time low and caused him to lose the fights

He certainly looked demorailsed at the end of the Ola Alfobai fight

And Terry D posted me a link interview he done with Enzo himself where Enzo said once again there was a mistake he made the week of the fight and that he would have another crack at Haye if he could

I been banned indefenitly - just because I posted a thread with real life pictures of Betty Swollocks and everyone was taking the piss out of him

They have not deleted my account

But they have stripped my password from me - so they can keep me banned for as long as they want

I asked the moderator several times for a new password - but the fornicator has ignored me

Bastards

They got strange MODS on ESB

I've got a brilliant equaliser which could really fornicate them over but i'm not going to be an arsehole. However if they continue to piss me off I might be driven to it.

Like I said i'm going to try not to post their they have annoyed me. They allow racist comments about muslims and asians but I get banned for saying something about a promoter. I clearly stated it was my opinion and a fair one at that.

They childish as fornicate - and got favorites they protect

I got banned once for making a thread in the General Forum saying Benn and Calzaghe had never lost to a Amercian

This latest incident - Betty Swollocks has been in touch with my brother FAT JOE to say he sent a message to the moderator to say not to keep me banned as it was all just some fun

But they still keep me banned

Yet some posters on there will be allowed to say whatever hateful / racist / insulting things they like

Well, there is a bit more to it than that. Gameplan must always be a factor taken into account.

Boxers often look that demoralised after a loss.

I wonder what Jeff Thomas revenge equaliser on ESB is ?

Anyone got any ideas.............

loved the way enzo boxed against big truck, but i hated his lack of respect after haye sparked him. show some class please enzo, in victory and defeat, then you will get more support !!!

His reaction to the last loss was quite humble.

Remember, before the Haye fight, he was being hyped up as a massive puncher. Much be somewhat depressing to have battered someone with your best shots for 8 rounds, only for them to have made little impact.

Good luck to him i've always liked Enzo he seems down to earth and he is a decent fighter
