Gavin Rees v Anthony Mezaache & Enzo Maccarinelli v Shane McPhilbin

[Master]

There must be a rematch.

[Violent Demise]

Enzo's going to win this one. He's taken three of the last four on points and McPhilbin is dead weight.

I love Enzo, he's an absolute gent, but if he gets away with this then he better buy a lotto ticket tomorrow.

He didn't get away with shit. It wasn't luck that got him the win. Enzo should be arrested for receiving stolen property. Cuz that win was stolen from McPhilbin. Enzo was on his way to another spectacular highlight reel KO by loss. There was no way he makes it out of that round if the bell don't ring early. 47 seconds is a fucking disgrace. 5 seconds, 10 seconds early. Fine. Hell even 15 seconds early I can maybe, maybe let slide. 47 seconds? Come the fuck on.

Come the fuck on? Have you even read the rest of the thread. I have clearly stated that McPhilbin was robbed and the early ending to the round was a disgrace.

As for getting away with it...who has the W on their record after a catastrophic timekeeping error? Sounds like getting away with it to me...

Yeah. Timekeeping error.

If you watch the whole fight you'll realise how utterly incompetent that timekeeper was. He started counting for a knockdown on four or five occasions when there wasn't a knockdown.

Maccarinelli-McPhilbin II Ordered, Timekeeper Suspended - Boxing News

Enzo Maccarinelli has been ordered to a rematch against Shane McPhilbin for the British cruiserweight title.

Controversy surrounded the original fight when the bell to end the first round was sounded 47 seconds early.

Maccarinelli had been knocked down by title holder McPhilbin seconds earlier and was clearly hurt as he stood up.

Timekeeper Martin Fallon has since been suspended until 1 January 2013 by the British Boxing Board of Control, who have ordered a rematch before October.

Maccarinelli was also knocked down in the third round as McPhilbin continued to dominate the early exchanges.

But the 31-year-old former WBO cruiserweight champion recovered to take a unanimous points verdict, giving him his first British title of his career.

McPhilbin's manager, Carl Greaves, called for a rematch shortly after the judges' verdicts were given and the BBBofC have sanctioned the fight following an enquiry into the events of the first round.

the difference this time is mcphilbin wont get lucky in the first round and we'll have 12 rounds of holding

fuckin fantastic

[superheavyrhun]

There are plenty of fights that I would love to see again. This isn't one of them.

However, in the interests of fairness and to give McPhilbin the chance to make more money and to have a shot at getting his title back, then it should happen. Maybe make it a dinner show with a comedian so at least people get some entertainment for their money.

Shame that in all of this, Gavin Rees excellent performance in France has been a bit forgotten.
