Maccarinelli prepares for 6th new opponent this week

I've gone from disgusted to interested.

To be honest they should of done something like this from the start.
But they where so desparate to have a "World Championship" bout to sell.

 

Mentally, Ellis is one of the weakest of all time :rofl.

 

Isn't Ellis that Scouse guy who was promoted by John Hyland?

 

He got derailed by some unkonown and it through him right off.. He went from an exciting swamer to a john ruiz clone but in his fight with Swaby bearing in mind how little training he'd done he looked fairly impressive. His amateur pedigree is fantastic.. ABA champ and about 16 other titles. KO'd David Starie in one and was the number 1 heavy for well over 18 months. Ask anyone circa that period of the sport and he was THE best prospect in the UK.

He is suceptable to a dig and is massively temporemental but I know mathew and if this fight comes off he'll give it a real go. And he will KO macca if he lands no doubt about it.

 

He has less than 50% KO ratio and your talking him up as a banger??atsch

 

I hate you. Whats jon Thaxtons Ko percentage, Whats ensley binghams ko percentage, whats freddie pendletons? Whats Emanual Augustus? ****ing boxrec calculation genius. atsch What is it with this forum recently.

 

I don't need boxrec to work out 9/20.Whats any of them fighters got to do with this??I'd also like to this opportunity to remind you that each and every one of his losses have been via stoppage(inc.Audrey)Enzo KO1!

 

Because boxing information genius... their all noted punchers with low KO percentages. Have you heard of a guy called Tim Witherspoon? He could punch a bit too. You know nothing about the sport. Its common knowledge Ellis is a decent banger. Plus he's fighting a guy whose just been sparked and earlier in his career was bombed out by Lee Swaby... by the way Swabys only stopped 11 of 47.

You critisise my opinion when you've demonstrated no knowledge of your own. Stick to doing sums kid. :good

 

But the guy has fought at heavyweight and Macca's a light cruiser with a dodgy chin... the words were "if he lands"... which makes me interested in this.

 

anyone who lands flush on enzo with any sort of ko power will knock him out and this guy has the tools :deal

 

I've seen Ellis a couple of times, one of them against Audley where he was terrible tbh.

However i think he can hurt Enzo if he catches him.

He's been training or a fight on the undercard and he's a small heavyweight.

He's a more interesting fight than bloody Alvarez though thats' for sure, but Enzo reallly should have too much power for him and break him early on.

Enzo TKO 3.

 

Just spoke to him he's going to have a good go at him, sounds determined and positive.

 

So you are the know all??I questioned your opinion..I am of the opinion that he is not this murderous puncher you make him out to be.

 

This is clearly a bad fight for Ellis who mentally and physically may be at the end of a bad beating. The guy has only just launched a some what sporadic comeback. Even when he was milling around the pro circuit he got manhandled by Audley and then knocked out again when he stepped down in weight against Moran. Ellis was an entertaining swarmer but the guy didnt have a punch that could be respected.Honestly he couldnt crack an egg. His style just didnt suit his punch power. Plus with his lack of size he was easy pickings. I remember his beating by Bakhtov. It wasnt nice. Ellis should have stayed retired. But props to the guy if he can get a result but in my opinion the odds are stacked massively against him.

 

Jeff your letting your bias take over now. Ellis was a decent domestic fighter at Area contention but he could never crack with any real authority. He was like watching a white herky jerky version of Joe Frazier who just didnt have the punch to match. Id like to think he could get a result mate but its highly unlikely.
