So Enzo Maccarinelli's fight will be for the WBO title regardless of the opponent?

    think herbie is the only credible guy he could get at such short notice. or maybe try and get that cuban that got blasted by braithwaite?

    Who says it needs to be a credible opponent? This is Enzo Macc we are talking about here, and all Frank Warren needs is somebody who the BBBofC won't say no to..

    A lot of noise has been made about bringing Herbie in, but I really can't see it happening. We'll get some fat former middleweight journeyman who will barely last a round.

    If you look at the list of WBO Champions on their website, they list their 200lb title as Vacant, but from Britain.

    :patsch

    Either that or they're making implications about Enzo's mental acuity.

    when did hobson last fight? the rematch was over before it really got started, but the first fight was great and could be a decent fight while it lasted.

    No way does Warren allow Enzo in with Hide

    Shame if not, because there's really no-one else about that would make this vacant title fight look credible.

    Doesn't matter if the WBO is perfectly happy to let him fight any old tomato can to become their champ, if Enzo does that then he can't expect to be lavished with praise. He'll be seen as a total paper champ.

    i can see hide happening. think about it, most of us our 50/50 about getting the ppv, if hide is fighting enzo how many of you will fork out. also the tickets our not selling well at all. hide vs enzo will give both a boost.
