    What's this Shane McPhilbin fella like then?

    He's got a weight advantage over Enzo being that Enzo's not a big cruiserweight whereas McPhilibin has fought at heavyweight, but he's also a novice in the pro ranks. He was down on all the judges cards until he knocked Leon Williams out last time out. If Enzo decides to stand and trade with him he's got a puncher's chance of the upset, but if Enzo uses his height and reach advantage and utilises his jab I can see him knocking McPhilibin out within five rounds.

    Cannon fodder. Even for Enzo.

    But i don't say that with any real confidence, because hey it's Enzo, LOL!

    Mchpillbin stops him imo

    I was right when I said he would stop Williams and I think he will do it again

    I think a lot of it will just depend on whether Enzo is looking to get him out as quickly as possible or if he wants some rounds in under his belt. Not that he needs it right enough, but he might be content to box for a few rounds and not take any silly chances. He's always wanted to add the British title to his list of accomplishments, and - with all due respect to McPhilibin - I'm not sure he'd be able to comeback from a loss to this calibre of fighter to be frank.

    I like Enzo but he just seems to lose the plot and get caught with stupid shots. Hope he wins though.

    Enzo is a 16-to-1 favorite and Shane McPhilibin is an 11-to-1 underdog so Enzo SHOULD win.

    Depends on Mcphilbin finding Enzo's jaw, In a way I hope Enzo does lose. that way it puts to rest this ridiculous idea of a Cleverly v Enzo fight in the summer.

    met Shane a few weeks back, is a top fella, hope he can pull it off, which if he weathers the early storm i can see him doing
     
  12. Enzo will bang him out early.

    All about levels, regardless of any perceived weight advantage that McPhilbin has.

    I belive so Enzo to win by knock out. McPhilbin is a heavy cruiserweight and if Enzo boxers smart he can get him out within the first 5-6 rounds imo

    :deal Exactly, can't see how anyone gives McPhilbin any chance at all. And also this nonsense about weight advantage, you do realise Enzo has fought as a Heavyweight too? And that he won the WBO belt as a Cruiserweight before?

    Honestly, this fight will be a walkover for Enzo. As BB says he's levels above any other British Cruiser at the moment.

    I never feel confident with Enzo whoever he fights, when god was giving out chins, Enzo was at the back of the cue. :yep
