British fighters. Typical.

Watching the fight, you had the feeling that Afalabi could have done that much earlier if he wasn't such a lazy, clowning fighter.

Gotta agree with that one quisqueya. Enzo looked like he would be on his way out with any well timed shot. I've never been a fan of the big man. He's got one hell of a punch but is just a bit too slow and not enough of an athlete for my liking.

He needs to call it a day I think & get into MMA or whatever it is he's now into, because IMO the Haye defeat finished him as a fighter. I know he'd lost to Swaby, but I think the Haye fight made him lose his self-belief, and the inactivity probably just made it worst. Ironically I think he would've beaten Banks. Afolabi is very impressive when you consider he didnt actually have an amateur career. Nice to see a Londoner from my sides do well, and hats off to Big Enz, he's a real class act as he showed at the end, but I think he should join JC in retirement.

I spoke to Enzo about a month ago and I got the impression then that he was not taking this fight as much of a threat and know he has paid the price.


The Enzo Mac that fought Briathweight would have won on Sat IMO.
