Yeah i heard about this!I feel for Enzo because it has happened to him before were his opponant has been pulled out of the fight as the fight closes nere.These things happen but there's nothing worst when your fighting someone who you dont have any record of!!
Anyone heard anything yet regarding who he is definately fighting?
If Herbie Hide was going to sign, I think we'd have heard something by now, and an American, BJ Flores has said it won't be him, but states that he was offered the fight, soooo.....with less than three days to the start time of the fight, we're probably looking at some domestic competition in all honesty, unless the Hide thing comes through fairly late. Usual suspects domestically, small heavies like Mark Krence, Micky Steeds, or maybe someone from Europe.Quote:

Enzo fights Alvarez
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_4587573,00.html
Francisco Alvarez has been named as Enzo Maccarinelli's opponent on Saturday night.
The Puerto Rican knockout specialist, who has stopped nine of his 11 victims, has been drafted into the Judgement Night bill, live on Sky Box Office.
Sports Network have been searching for a replacement ever since Johnathon Banks pulled out after injuring an ankle in training and the 31-year-old has answered the call.
Alvarez will now get the chance of a lifetime to challenge former holder Maccarinelli for the WBO cruiserweight belt on the same bill as Amir Khan's comeback fight.
It will be by far the biggest night of his fledgling professional career - spent largely at light-heavyweight - and the first time he has boxed in Europe in 12 paid contests (11(9KO)-1-0).
But he comes to the Excel Arena with a fine knockout record having finished nine inside the distance, seven inside the first two rounds. He is also the reigning WBO Latino light-heavyweight champion.
His only loss was against rated Uzbekistani Alexander Alexeev, who was ounce touted as a possible foe for Davd Haye - the man who took the WBO belt off Maccarinelli, only to vacate it and leave it open for the Welshman to reclaim
Another sham aka Warren:o

But Banks bitched out, aint many guys will fight a guy like banks after being beat in 2 rounds... but banks bitched, herbie bitched again for a second time to fight mac, the tried BJ but he wanted more time (you can't blame him) clinton woods wasn't up for it. This was the only guy they could get at last minute...
Was this or call off the show, you call it off now you piss off a load of people who paid for tickets, hotels, traveling etc etc, whom have taken time off work even.
Does this mean it's now a non title fight?
Hello mate and welcome to Saddo no mate its still a world title fight shame its not the Hide fight but i think Mac and Hide will get it on next year perhaps Enzo's first defence as long as he comes through on Saturday of course.Quote:

Hide is going for the wbc belt, he has an eliminator coming up to then fight frag, frag h as to make 2 def's because he won a vacant belt

So they're just gifting Enzo the title against a light heavy? Is that his reward for getting sparked in 2 rounds last time out?

Frank Warren will bring us nothing but the best promotions, he is a very nice person , and please stop slagging him off all of you !!!!
P.S he also has never heard of cancelling a fight if a guy pulls out lol ;D
For you Frank :fyou:
This "knockout specialist" went eight rounds last time with a guy JOHN DUDDY KO'd in one!!!
This must rank alongside the worst "world" title fights in history.
Id like Warren to explain how a guy ranked 15 , can fight for a VACANT title ????
WTF !!!!
ANOTHER FRANK WARREN SPECIAL. BULLSHIT
ITV it is then.
Bet Enzo is gutted again.

Maybe it's a mistake, really it's an 8 rounder for Enzo to get his eye back in. :rolleyes:
