    There are some great fights to be made at cruiser! I hope Warren doesn't go back to the mollycoddling as well. Enzo is peaking, get him in with the top guys! If he loses, it's not the end of him by any means - there's no need to protect Maccaranelli.

    I'd love to see him fight Cunningham on the JC - Kessler card. King mentioned it as being possible, too.

    I was loving that jab tonight. With Enzo's long arms and heavy hands, it's a very useful weapon that he never used to use enough. Braithwaite didn't seem to know how to handle it and got clipped with the left hook when he came rushing in. Perfectly executed gameplan regardless of how good Braithwaite was.

    I agree - his jab kept Braithwaite away all night until the last few rounds when Enzo got tagged a few times. When he was firing that jab with intent, he was at his best. He should work on it more - could make all the difference further down the line.

    I agree, this is a great win but he needs to build on this. Fight someone like Ding, Adamek, Cunningham, Tokarev, Coba Jr, someone really top level. He needs to build on this.

    he boxed well, displayed a great jab lots of ring smarts and patience. Braithwaite was very disappointing, he just couldn't get into the fight at all. In fairness I think that Mac should've taken him out, I'm disappointed he couldn't have forced a stoppage. Braithwaite didn't seem to have too much trouble taking Mac's power.

    I know its not fair to say this but I think David Haye would've bombed Braithwaite out in less than 3 rounds myself. Braithwaite looked poor all the way through the fight, a pale imitation of his former self. Maccarinelli fought well, but this hasn't convinced me.
