Personally I would much rather have seen Maccarinelli fight Herbie Hide or Alekseev for it if they couldn't get Banks or Cunningham, but what can you do?
I think it's a decent fight, seeing as Ramirez made Alexeev quit on his stool last week he's decent opposition. This guy is strong with good power and certainly comes to win.
Also a puncher. Last time Maccarinelli went in with a puncher he was starched in 2 rounds so this is by no means a gimme.
