Enzo was on the "undercard" of the Mike Tyson tour I went to. He said that the reason he lost is because he was too focused on weight training and he forgot what got him his success - raw power and aggression. So he's cut the weights and focused more on what brought him victories in his early career.

I just think he's done.

Who trains him now? I really like Enzo, one of boxings good guys but since Haye beat him he has looked so gun shy and that has totally taken away his game. Would like to see him have one last crack if he has really got his confidence back. he surely can't be shot at 29 after that many fights. It's not like he's been in 30 odd wars

Derek Lewis

ENZO Maccarinelli will make his return to the ring next month and will have a new coach in his corner.
Swansea cruiserweight Maccarinelli will feature on the same card as Amir Khan's WBA light welterweight title fight with Dmitriy Salita in Newcastle on December 5.
The 29-year-old is yet to be given an opponent at the Metro Radio Arena, but he insists he will be in perfect condition thanks to his new trainer.
Maccarinelli has turned to Morriston-based Derek Lewis, a former two-time ABA champion, in order to steer his career back on the right track.

The former WBO cruiserweight king had worked under Karl Ince since leaving Enzo Calzaghe's stable, but spending five days a week in Bolton proved a stumbling block for the family man.
But Maccarinelli reckons he has the right man in charge as he sets out to become a major force in the division once again.
"Derek is just what I needed he used to coach me as a kid and he will get me in perfect condition," said Maccarinelli. "He's a complete maniac who knows what buttons to press and when to do it.
"Why is he a maniac? Well, in our first training session back I was pretty tired at the end of the session, and I felt a really sharp pain in my left calf.
"I turned around and realised that Derek had whipped me on my calf with a skipping rope and he was shouting at me for being tired.

"There's no letting up with him and I'm sure I will be in great shape on December 5.
"It's a night I'm really looking forward to because someone is going to get knocked out."
After consecutive defeats to Ola Afolabi and Denis Lebedev, Maccarinelli desperately needs to prove his doubters wrong.
For a man who was WBO champion only last year, his career has spiralled since losing his belt to current WBA heavyweight champion David Haye.
And while he is awaiting confirmation on his opponent, there is only one thing on Maccarinelli's mind.
"I've got some massive bombs to drop that night," he said.
"It's a big night for me and there's people I need to prove wrong.
"There are those that think my career is over, but I believe I can be champion again.
"Derek and (conditioning coach) Chris Ware are working very hard with me and you won't see the Enzo Maccarinelli that was in the ring for the last two fights," he added.
"I've nothing but respect for Karl. My switch wasn't personal as he is an excellent coach.
"But Derek doesn't want to change me he knows I have a great jab and the power to knock anyone out.
"He is working on other things and letting me do the business in the ring."

I've completely lost interest in those two - they never show up, they always end up being replaced by some bum at the last minute.
