    Oh and Braithwaite by KO and Koba by UD.

    The last couple may have missed but the 4 or 5 flush rights to the chin before that lead to no response and the stoppage.

    Gonna be fireworks, expect it to end early either way.

    Braithwaite is your typical Guyanian, loads of talent but very little skill or ring intelligence.
    Macca however is exactly a textbook fighter though.

    I have to say Im feeling Braithwaite win here. I think this his his best chance at a title.

    Enzo is arguably the hardest puncher p-4-p in the world.He's not the slickest boxer and there are question marks over his chin, so this could be wildly exciting

    His MUM manages him..:think Anyway Braithwaite probably could do with drop down to 75.His too small for cruiser as he still weighs in at the 190 mark.His pop isnt sufficient enough to bang with the big hitters with a style like he has.Interesting bout and could be his swan song.But Enzo has never been tested so im on the fence as he does have a punchers chance.

    very good bill and surprisngly for warren 2 competitive fights.

    as to the fight difficult to call.

    trouble we have is enzo has only had trilahorses and domestic level opposition whereas i have seen braithwaite many times in with top 10 of the division and while he is a decent fighter, i would not count him as nothing specila.

    takes a good whack normally though and that is enzo`s biggest assett.

    as soon as enzo lands clean we will know if he is in for a long night.

    mind you if braithwaite lands full on we will see if enzo`s chin has got what it takes so a good crossraods match up and a fight that will definatley tell us if enzo sinks or swims at the top level.

    i think enzo really does pack a punch and think he will get braithwaite out of there at some point.

    i disagree about Enzo's power. He couldnt knock out HOBSON. he's strong, but not as strong as the other cruisers.

    But he sparked hobson in the 1st 2nd time around and he also KO'd a guy that had never been stopped even when fighting at heavyweight in Dominguez a guy who went 8 rounds with Nikolay Valuev loosing on points so Macca can crack (personally i dont think hes as big a hitter as David Haye but thats another subject).
    I can see the big truck getting into Macca and crowding and then turning out the lights tho, im sure Bruce Scott had Macca down and in trouble and there are only so many fights u can rely on 1 punch to change a fight as Enzo did in that - should be a good fight eitherway

    I wouldn't say he couldn't knock out Hobson seeing as that in their second fight he erm....
    Knocked out Hobson in 1 round.

    i'm no macca fan, he's a fairly average boxer, but has immense power, there isn't a cruiserweight that can withstand his power if he starts landing his big shots.

    apologies, i totally forgot about that fight. :patsch

    the point being, hobson and bobby ' the machine' Gunn are not indicators of world class power. he has power, but wait till he comes against a good chin

    Agreed to a degree. But a guy with only average power does not amass that many KOs even against average opposition. It is like me dismissing Katsidis' power because he has never fought a really good opponent.
    For sure it might not be the dynamite level we are talking about, but it is safe to say both guys can bang, and even the biggest hitters get taken the distance at times.

    Either way, it is a good test and you are right we will get a better idea of his power at world level after this.
