    Thats because the BBofC nixed the bout and wouldn't allow it to happen. To be honest it was shambolic and totally inappropriate that a veteran like that could be allowed to come out of retirement to fight Enzo when he hadn't fought in years. Its totally indicative of the way Warren spoon feeds his fighters.

    Braithwaite was finished. Hernandez lost his head and shot himself in the foot. Braithwaite was experienced enough to take advantage of the huge, repeated mistakes and crazy gameplan of Hernandez. Let's not make out of this more than it's worth. Braithwaite would lose a wide decision in a rematch.

    I really rated Hernandez before the Braithwaite loss. I believed him to be a futrure title holder of some degree and be a guy who could mix it up with the best at the weight. I know a step up to a guy like Braithwaite had a lot of risk and that this time it did not pay off for the young Cuban but I expect him to be back. His chin will always be a doubt though.

    Personally I think my opinion of Enzo has gone up as a result of the fight, not by much but I now beleive Enzo is actually capable of winning a title at cruiser on credit rather than soft match making.

    The only guys worth mentiong has top class are Cunningham, Alexeev and possibly Kraj, I hold little hope for the American prospects.

    I was one of the posters here who always said Enzo Macs win over Braithwaite was a fine one, & he should have gotten more plaudits for it.

    :lol: Not only did he help him up, but he waited until he got back on his feet to start counting. He got 18 seconds in all and it's at 5.05 of this youtube vid.

    To be fair to the ref though he did start the count at two rather than one. That more than balances out the eight seconds that had already elapsed while he was hauling Hernandez off the floor and helping him to balance.

    Any one think that German commentators sound like they are having sex at the same time as they are commentating?

    Braithwaite looked pretty decent still. I wonder where he can go from here, he must be somewhere in contention for an eliminator or within a few fights of a shot at the title?
