    No idea mate. No date/location has been set, but I think they are going to make it the co-main event of the Arthur bill in Manchester.

    That'd be no good if we're expecting suspensful moments in the first 5 looking in at the outside.

    Alex Arthur's done even less than Enzo Mac, but would be the headliner against some domestic ham and egger.:yep

    If Banks hasn't improved 1000% since his last three outings he will lose via a disasterous knockout or TKO, he barely protected himself when he tired last time out.. Conditioning was dire........

    That's how I see it too. I had high hopes for Banks at one time, but it seems like he's just hit a wall. If he doesn't get dramatically better, it's going to be ugly for him. Even counting the quick KO loss to Haye, Enzo's got more big fight experience and is more proven at the world level. Banks last fight left me with more questions than answers.

    I am saying Enzo by UD only because I have no real knowledge on Banks' chin. I have not seen anything to say it is poor and I think that Enzo can bang but it is over hyped.

    But Enzo is the much better boxer from what I have seen and a TKO would be a gut reaction, but UD has to be the logical choice as Banks could have a granite chin for all I know...

    Banks and Macca will apparently headline their own card now, on September 27 in the UK.

    Banks is still too new for us to know what he truly has and doesn't have, and Maccarenelli just came off a KO loss, so it's completely a toss up for me. But assuming both perform at the best I've seen from them I'd say late round knockout for Maccarenelli.

    Enzo should KO Banks imo, Banks has looked sloppy and slow everytime i have seen him.

    I like Alexeev, but he has to step into the ring with a top 50 Cruiserweight before he gets a titleshot.

    I'm not super impressed with either guy, but I think Maccarinelli is on his way down, and Banks us on his way up. I'll pick Banks.

    Banks looked terrible last time out (looked drugged to be honest), but that is the only time I have seen him fight; so I will reserve judgement for now.
