    Just been cataloguing a few dvds and came across the Enzo Maccrinielli vs Alexander Frenkel fight.

    Whatever happened to Frenkel?

    He quit due to depression apparently.
    Shame. Hope he is doing well with his battles out of the ring. Not heard much at all.

    Yep, some things are far more important.

    I wish him well.

    There was a rumour two years ago, that he has joined Jehovas Witnesses...

    He and Marco Huck apparently HATED each other! Which must have been tense seen as they were both in the same camp.

    Would have been a decent fight if it had got made, bet the sparring sessions were lively.

    I heard that too, something with Huck being a Bosniak/Muslim and Frenkel being Jewish - don't know the details at all though.

    Frenkel is reputedly supposed to have knocked Huck out in sparring on two separate occasions. I remember someone saying on here that things got so heated between them once they ended up rolling around on the floor together and had to be pulled apart. I also heard a rumour Frenkel was planning on coming back, but I don't know if there's any truth to it. It's a real shame if not though as he was very talented. His power was absolutely chilling.
