Enzo-Frenkel

Enzo's main problem always was that while he was taller than many of his opponents he still chose to box in a crouched stance with his chin low, making himself smaller, trying to trade toe-to-toe with his opponents. His style is all wrong for his physique, allowing much shorter guys to land at will on him.

I was expecting Enzo to land on Frenkel from the outside and simply tie him down in close quarters. Then take out the inexperienced Frenkel in the later rounds with long straight hands. Boy was I wrong.

 

You guys are forgetting a few things.
1. Frenkel is not a contender like Macca but a prospect whose best opponent up to then was a shot Kelvin Davis.
2. This was his first scheduled 12 rounder. He even had only one scheduled 10 rounder before and that ended in the first round.
3. It was the first time he fought outside of Germany and with a hostile crowd against a vastly more experienced operator.

 

I gave Frenkel credit for countering effectively and scoring a dramatic knockout. I don't think he's world level, but we'll see how he develops. Nothing further to add.

 

Without getting into a debate about the fight itself, I thought that the respect Frenkel showed in not celebrating was superb, he is a class act.

 

I agree he showed alot maturity a good chin and a great left hook in that fight. Respect to him!
