Jesus. I hope he's alright. In my opinion, the ref should never have let him out again after the knockdown, he was still out.
I've always liked Enzo, but it could be too many big knockouts for him. Might be time to call it a day?

Agreed hope he retires now, cant keep getting sparked like that. I thought he was boxing nicely until the punch

Only if the Pope might be a bit Catholic.

It's over for Enzo, it has been for a while - it's only that he clung on to his power that enabled him to drag his career out.

Someone better send an ambulance to Flint Island's bungalow just in case he's offed himself.

The knockout was brutal but not half as bad as some of the violence in the crowd straight after the fight. If the security guard who got thrown over thw balcony isn't dead I'll b
e amazed. Macklins lot, fuckin scum.

Def should've been stopped. It was like the Khan - Prescott stoppage when the ref lets the house fighter go on, even though he's in no state to continue.

Only saw it the once and thought he had his wits about him. Must have been wrong. You won't see many more savage ko's than that.

There are rumours (hope they are not true) on another forum that Enzo passed out in the dressing room. How to god has the gone to a forum I don't know, but I just hope its not true.

Sadly I could see that knock out coming well in advance of the fight. I thought Maccarinelli was finished after the Lebedev fight. His recent wins just papered over significant cracks and unfortunately his punch resistence has gone. Great servant to British boxing thoough and provided some cracking fights.

I thought he was clearly on very wobbly legs and letting him continue there was an absolute disgrace. He had a similar look there to that which he had in the David Haye fight which was thankfully stopped.

Yep agreed he had the exact same look as the Haye stoppage, legs like bambi.

I agree, considering there were one or two complaints (I didn't agree with the complaints) that the Haye vs Maccarinelli fight was stopped too soon. I thought Enzo was in better shape in this one. But the replay was alarming, he looked quite glazed.

I don't think the ref should be criticised beyond belief though, there would have been complaints had he waved it off.

Hope Enzo is okay.

A lot of people on here criticise British refs for stepping in too early but, as anyone with any sense says, better too early than a second too late.

I just felt so sad for him - he was doing really well. Hope he's OK too - lovely chap is Enzo. Very approachable, chatty guy.

Enzo himself would certainly have been in no fit state to complain if it had been waved off after the first knockdown. It really should have been stopped.

Couldn't agree more. The one time I met Enzo was at the Calzaghe v Manfredo bill where he fought Bobby Gunn and he was so willing to chat with everyone. Great guy.

I also met him at the MEN arena top fella,brave as they come and i hope he packs it in now before he gets badly hurt

I think he can only compete at domestic level now and I'd hope pride and common sense would make him quit.

There's some vile shite spouted on those mate. Some sick f*ck tonight said they hoped he was dead. Those people really need a shellacking.

What are the rumours? It was a very heavy knock out and he took some huge shots unprotected because of that idiot of a referee.

Id like to see that pudendum do a round with Enzo Mac

Let it go enzo

aye even from our seat we could see he was done and the ref was right there. was disgusting.

Sexton stoppage was possibly a little late too, he was already done.
