Enzo Maccarinelli ... where do we go now?

Post by rhino222 »

Loved Enzos heart last night and he surprised me by taking care of business against Mackenzie and leaving ovill brunoesque in the corner!

but lets not get carried away, ovill is a good domestic fighter with decent power and a decent chin. he is no more than that.

I do however think enzo could still win a 'big' fight. he is very technically gifted, punches correctly, decent jab, good body work. a huge man at LH. Could enzo beat Bellew?..... well, enzo is certainly busy enough to cause bomber big problems.
Could enzo beat cleverly................again, I think enzo has a chance. Is there bad blood between the 2 of them?

Lucian Bute or chad Dawson would be good fights, both have been proved vulnerable...as has Enzo.

Dont see Enzo beating either of them at this stage in his career to be honest. MAYBE Bute but not Dawson.

Ajisafe or maybe Cleverly.

Boxrec now have Enzo rated 11 in the world ahead of Clev and Braehmer etc

Out of interest, who is the British light heavy champ? Maybe a unification?

Dean Francis would be a hum-dinger for a first defence. Both huge punchers that are vulnerable.

I hear enzo and the bomber are mates and tony has gone on record saying that he would rather not fight him.

Cleverly is a real possibility

Due to him being 11th in the world would love a big fight against Braehmer at the motorpoint, but don't think Braehmer would come over.

To be fair Enzo is highly ranked now, not sure it would get them a world title shot, but a win against a guy ranked 11th would be good never know.

I dont think its so much a physical issue with enzo as a mental one.

Listening in between rounds and watching enzos body language throughout the fight apong with his personal reaction at the stoppage its seems clear to me that he has alot of self doubt and some serious confidence issues.

Gary Lockett did a great job in between rounds as I am sure he would have had to do throughout camp to allow enzo to realise his opportunity was in his reach.

I think enzo showed he still has the skills and power to beat a decent level of opposition in bursts and if they can sort his mindset.

enzo mentioned in the post fight interview that he was thinking of his dad which is obviously still painful for him I think enzo comes accross as a decent fella and hope he and his team make the decisions on the future that are best for him.

I wouldnt be very surprised to see a cleverly fight unless of course nathan moves over to lockett who imo seems to be a very good trainer.

I think Enzo's a great guy, but there's no way on earth he should be facing guys like these at this stage of his career. In the ideal world I'd love to see him retire now - going out on top after a great win in front of home fans, rather than him end up getting knocked out badly again.

God, just find the lightest punchers LH has to offer and go from there. Cleverly seems logical. Both should fancy the job.

I would actually watch that because it seems really intriguing. I really can't pick a winner!

I think it's a fight that will definitely be made, but I'm convinced that Clev would win it - at this stage his workrate and pressure would be too much for Enzo.

I think he should fight someone like bellew after he gets knocked out in his next fight a fight with enzo would be a natural fight

Great fight. Enzo fought with a lot of heart. He took some bombs and gritted his teeth. He wanted that win so badly.

Such a nice bloke and I hope he can make some good cash now before finally retiring.

Enzo has 0 punch resistance wich is really bad at light heavy or cruiser i think he should just retire now instead of retire sooner or later when he has been KOd again

I can really see a fight v Cleverly happening. I think it makes sense IMO. Enzo has a decent shot at winning due to his power and Cleverly doesn't hit almighty hard. Cleverly would probably wear Enzo down though. Still, a decent fight for both men.

I really can't see how you'd say that; Ovill is known as a very strong puncher; he hit Enzo flush, hurt him and Enzo kept on and won the bout well.

I bet Enzo has earned a hell of a lot more than most active boxers today, even Clev. The Haye fight was serious money.
