Enzo Maccarinelli/Sugar Shane McPhilbin rematch - how does it go?

I know what you mean, Don't get me wrong Im not trying preach and climb the moral high ground, Ill still end up watching it but Ive seen him knocked out or hurt too many times and I like Enzo, I worry for his long term health.

 

McPhilbin has shown a disgraceful attitude. He just lost hist British title and all he was talking about was going out on the ****.

 

I never thought we'd see him in a ring again after Frenkel KO. It was stomach churning watching it live and seeing him hit the deck. I don't think his story ends well...

 

Apart from the first two rounds the first fight wasn't even close.

McPhilbin has a punchers chance against Maccarinelli, as the first round demostrated, but he was ready to go for the last 5 rounds and if the latter had fought with more confidence he would of done so.

Maccarinelli wins by KO in round 6 or 7.

 

Mcphilben was ROBBED of a CLEAR KO 1 by that bull**** timekeeper, I say he gets a KO this time!!! War SSM

 

Enzo by ko in 6 this time.

 

He was robbed. Think he might be getting knocked out very early this time though.

 

Did that timekeeper get punished btw??

 

I believe in justice... McP KO1

 

Easy come easy go. I'm sure he knows what level he really belongs at and knew he wouldn't be holding on to it for too anyway.

Not to discredit his win over Williams though - he did well, especially considering he hadn't ever fought more than 6 rounds and took it at moments notice. Nice story to tell the grand kids though.

 

I believe he was given a brown envelope full of used fivers as punishment.

 

I'm actually looking forward to it, ok the first fight was no classic, but it was exciting and controversial. Enzo should win, he is by far the more accomplished boxer, but his punch resistance is shocking and there is a very real chance he will be knocked out.

I'm a big fan of Enzo's, always have been, I think he has been one of the most exciting fighters we've produced in recent times, but the decline in his punch resistance is shocking and worrying.

Without the issues of punch resistance he would win this comfortably, but I would be really surprised to see him last the twelve rounds without getting caught; if he does make it through I think he'll win comfortably on points UD.

I quite like McPhilbin, he's a character; ok he won't win any world honours, but he is fully aware of that and is the first to admit it. Ok, the celebration drinking sessions appear unprofessional to some, but it is clear he trains his socks off when he has to, and I think he deserves to let his hair down as a reward. The problem would be if he did it in Hatton fashion and the 'benders' went on for longer than the weekend following the fight!

 

They gave him 7 days jail but he only served 2 minutes 42 seconds of it

 

Enzo's training with Gary Lockett for this one, I think this time he needs to go straight into action unlike last time where in first round he hardly threw a punch and then got decked. He did bounce back well and handled McPhilbin well enough. If i was Shane i'd go for it from very first bell. He's not gonna win the fight on points so go after Enzo from start.

 

:deal I think that's exactly what he'll do, could be pretty entertaining!:bbb
