Enzo Maccarinelli is still the WBO Cruiserweight champion after he retained his title with ease by a stoppage in round one against American Bobby Gunn.

This was another case of a quality British boxer beating an overrated American fighter!

Maccarinelli looked absolutely awesome in the ring and in my opinion he was the best boxer of the night, he performed better than Khan and Calzaghe on Saturday night.

This was Maccarinelli’s second defence of the title that he won by beating Marcelo Dominguez in July (read more…)

Bobby Gunn, the WBO Cruiserweight Challenger has said that he thinks the current champion Enzo Maccarinelli is a tougher fight than Roy Jones Jr.

“I had a possible fight with Jones fall through, but to me there is no comparison with Enzo - he is the man right now,” Gunn said.
“He’s perhaps the best cruiserweight in the world, but a chance to fight such a man on his own ground is what I crave.”

I would agree with Gunn on this one. Although Roy Jones Jr. was a superb fighter in his prime, he is now well past his prime, whereas Enzo is coming into his prime and so he is the better match.

This will be Maccarinelli’s second defence of the title and will be at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday as chief support to the Joe Calzaghe fight (read more…)
