    when you've been in with guys like braithwaite and haye, theres no-one in mma that will surprise you with their power.

    Anybody landing on Enzo's shopworn chin stands a good chance of shocking him these days.

    I obviosly have no idea about enzo's finances and how much he needs the money but i would have thought that mma would be a big paycut from boxing unless he is is in the UFC etc. I suppose if he could get his ground game up to scratch he would be pretty competative and would have better power and punching accuracy than anyone. He would definately be exciting to watch, but i woulnt want to see the guy sacrifice his health for a couple of £k

    His confidence still seemed shaky from his last loss in interviews leading up to this one.

    I can't imagine he's in a hurry to get back through the ropes.

    He had a good run.

    The longer it goes on the more I'm worried he wants to carry on.

    I think he'll fight again.

    I hope not, but I think he will.

    I really hope he makes the right decision and retires. He was one of my favourite active boxers but the defeats he's suffered haven't exactly been split decisions. I still think his skills are there, he's just got no punch resistance left so he's always going to be a time bomb. Shame cos he's one of the nicest blokes the sport has ever seen imo.

    I hope he has quit.He was a good fighter and did well to win a title.He has a lot to be proud of from his career.To carry on after another heavy defeat like that one would be mad,its just going to happen over and over.
