"Maccarinelli set for title tilt"

:good

 

Year 2000 Kilvey Hill Cement Run Champion, "The Bonymaen Bruiser" Enzo Maccarinelli.

I'm sure dan-b will rate this a greater achievement than Enzo winning the WBO Title.

He might be right, I'd rather fight Bobby Gunn than do the cement run.:yep

 

Fair play to him. I hope you realise that my non-recognition of the WBO is not a slur on the fighters themselves it's just I don't recognise them as champions. Not everyone can be a champion, which is why it's such a high accolade. Maccarinelli & Calzaghe, especially Calzaghe, have won a lot of 12 round fights at a high level which is a great achievement. The bauble carried into the ring for most of those fights, however, is irrelavent as far as I'm concerned.

 

He isn't garbage, he's just not great.

Wlodarczyk won't beat him. Mormeck is a toss up, if Maccarinelli survives early he'll outlast and outbox him down the straight when his stamina fades. We saw how bad it was against Haye, and he's not got any younger.

The others I pick to beat Enzo comfortably enough.
