Enzo Maccarinelli steps in for European Cruiserweight title shot v Dmytro Kucher
Following his win against an aging RJJ before Christmas, an injury for Ovill McKenzie means Enzo will be stepping in on 10 June for the European Cruiserweight fight against Dmytro Kucher. Enzo won't have any trouble with weight, but he never did at the cruiser limit.
It is only at a month's notice, but Kucher has got a defeat on his record and his last fight was a split draw, one card each way and the third a tie. Kucher's 31, but I think the biggest concern for Enzo will be the 71% KO record, although this will be his first time in the UK.

He should call himself Enzo the cat...cause he's got nine Lives.
How many times do boxers get to recycle their careers?

Dude....if you got fired from your job, wouldn't you feel offended if someone said that during your interview for a new job?
Gah, I know I'm biased cause I like the guy, and I see him every now and again down Tescos, but still...

Enzo is a likeable man who has had some big wins, great knock outs and devastating defeats. He is humble and respectful.

He was doing well in the light heavyweight world title shot he had and against Ovil McKenzie.

Boxing is in his blood and he clearly still has plenty left in the tank, otherwise he wouldn't have the dedication to get down to LHW recently and fight for a World title. He gave a good account of himself as well.
I reckon Cruiserweight has always been where he should be, and I would rather see him fighting at the top level than Bellew. Infact, I would love to see Enzo beat Bellew, that would be heaven.
Enzo has a lot more dog than Cleverley, that's a sure fact.
Perhaps, but Cleverly showed a lot of "dog" against Fonfara I thought, while Enzo has never lasted the distance in a defeat and probably never will. Not saying you're wrong, I didn't really follow Enzo until he starting being a perennial KO victim. Bellew is very hard pressed to win his next fight I figure also.

I wasn't meaning to knock Cleverley, I just think Enzo is the more natural Cruiserweight and was a bit more aggressive. Cleverley did show balls against Fonfara , I agree.

That was a devastating knock out he will not come back from that.
Which is what we say every time Enzo gets stopped and he proves us all wrong.

When the first left hook turns him into a statue, Enzo looks at him like - oh i'm still upright, why isn't he clumping me, and sort of drops his hands.
Re: Enzo Maccarinelli steps in for European Cruiserweight title shot v Dmytro Kucher
I hope he stays retired and doesn't try and make another comeback.
Re: Enzo Maccarinelli steps in for European Cruiserweight title shot v Dmytro Kucher
