    It was for the Interim WBO Cruiserweight Title that Haye relinquished when he turned heavyweight.Ola is the WBO Champion now as far as i know.Maybe someone can correct me on this.

    No question. There really shouldn't be ANY question about Maccarinelli's OBVIOUS glass jaw now.

    In fact, I suggest that he deserves to displace Fraudley at #2 since A-FARCE hasn't been starched in awhile (but he will if he faces anybody decent).

    How many KOs did this nobody have before he took Maccarinelli out?

    it was plainly enzo getting knocked out due to exhaustion more than anything...if he had paced the fight correctly he wouldnt have got hit with that...and if he got hit with it in the 1st/2nd round, he may have gone down..but i bet he'd have got up sound enough..

    Are you not getting over dramatic with this? A nobody? Curious, have you ever boxed or even got into a fight in your life? I know your a respected poster, but at times you get out of hand. That is my own personal opinion. These fighters are putting it all out there and some have only boxing to fend for their families so please lighten up. I'll admit, I did not see the fight, but I am going by what you and others are saying just like the Khan fight.

    Part of being "out there" is exposing yourself to criticism. And if sports didn't have fans who were interested enough to criticize their participants, they wouldn't be taking home their paychecks.

    The bottom line on Maccarinelli? He's an OK fighter, but he just doesn't have the whiskers to compete at the top level. I have to call 'em as I see 'em, and if you get starched by some unknown with a low KO percentage, your chin is probably pretty crappy.:yep

    For once, I have to agree. Enzo Mac is indeed of the Glass Jawed variety.

    Agree, bringing him up to a okay fighter is much better though. He is falling into the Khan fighter as to work on your defense and master your offense or game over. I heard he was thinking about getting into MMA. If he does and gets starched there, Mr. White will have a field day with boxing is dead and MMA is king which I do not agree with.

    Ola boxed a really smart fight. Enzo was throwing bombs and they were just hitting arms and leather. He also got in lots of effective body punches in the middle rounds and just tired Enzo out. And then he hit him with a Sweet right hand on the chin. That was not a glass jaw that was timing.

    If by really smart fight you mean losing 9 out of the 10 rounds the fight went ???

    Enzo was clearly the more skilled fighter, BUT HE HAS A GLASS JAW.

    The Chincheckers, correctly predicting once again.

    You do not have a very deep/developed understanding of boxing. Ola fought a very very smart fight. Enzo could definitely win a rematch, but to belittle Ola's tactics and performance is silly.

    Ok Ola might have gone in with the gameplan that he was going to weight for Enzo to tire out and hit him with big shots in the later rounds, especially after he rocked him early on (round 2 was it ?) . Ok I can see that as being a decent gameplan, but to be honest nearly losing every round in the fight and gambling on that isnt the smartest thing to do IMO.

    Credit, he did the job though.

    Oh and DINAMITA. The typical ESB knee-jerk reaction to Khan winning tonight has been disgusting, as you know.

    Only rivaled by the reaction when Pacquiao beat that corpse of a DLH that night.

    Now you know how it feels.

    No, I do not. Pacquiao was already world p4p#1 before the Oscar fight. His stock did not rise disproportionately after it, he was viewed as a fan-****ing-tastic boxer both before and after (by his fans, and by non-hating neutrals unlike yourself).
