    Well that seems a bit mad. He's a non-puncher at 175 so good luck with that at 200.

    He's blaming the weight for his loss even though he says he can comfortably make 175. I think he'll be retiring soon.

    Thank you for your picture bud, I'm just hanging it in the shit house next to the Hopkins one.

    Well he started his career at 168 and he couldn't crack an egg in his early fights so they moved him up to 175 and he started stopping decent domestic level fighters. Maybe his power will improve a little. I think he can outbox a few top Cruisers. He has a decent engine on him and it is hardly a thriving division.

    Well, to be fair, he couldn't crack an egg at 175 either. Who did he ever stop? Danny McIntosh? I agree fighters can be stronger moving up in weight but this is a 25lb jump not 7lb. I have no doubt he can beat cruisers but not sure about the top guys.

    He will also take much bigger punches , so will be interesting to see if his chin holds up also.

    I wonder if Enzo suddenly finds he can't make 175 anymore and moves up to cruiser. I'd be amazed if that fight doesn't happen at some point.

    Wow! I honestly thought it was Oviltine McKenzie that had moved up to Cruiserweight.

    Always wonder about a guy coming off a devastating loss like that and thinking the answers will come with a weight increase. Bigger opponents less mobility without changing up his approach could all work against him. It'll be interesting.
