    Well only about 2-3 miles up the road there is a Fitness Studio

    not a boxing gym

    but a full out weights / carido / sunbed / type place

    its one of the biggest in Wales

    the poster DEBASER comes from around that area - I'm sure he will know the gym

    Marco could have got the fight stopped at any point passed the second round, it's his own fault.

    thats what Enzo Maccarenelli should do

    instead of going to that amateur boxing shed in newbridge to train in a very amateur set up

    he should go to a professional gym and train with and spar proper pro crusiers and heavyweights

    that shed behind my garden is only a amateur club

    Colin Jones trained there from 9 years old - but also when he turned professional at 18 years he still trained at the club throughout his professional career but he also trained up in Merthyr Tifil at Eddie thomas professional gym and sparred with proper pros etc

    If you gonna compete at world level like Maccarenelli has tried to do against the likes of Haye etc you gotta be more professional

    look at Amir Khan even he has bucked up his ideas and become more professional by going to Amercia

    Enzo should go down to London to train

    YOU WOULD BE BETTER THAN NOTHING I SUPPOSE ;)

    But who has he got to spar with down in South Wales

    Joe Calzaghe - maybe a bit in the past - now he has retired

    Bradley Price and Gavin Rees - are hardly going to prepare you for facing the Hayemaker

    Does any of this really matter?

    Leaving aside King's previous, Khan was clearly the better fighter on the night and I've not heard anyone say that Barrera would have won without the cut.

    If it had of been stopped after round 1 as maybe it should then Sky and Warren would be lining up a rematch where the winner would be the same as would the cost of the PPV but with little support as his other fighters have got beaten.

    Going on has done us all a favour I'd say - including Barrera, at least he had something to pin the defeat on other than being shot.
