Sorry, but last night Maccaranelli vs Frenkel Ref / SPOILER**

[skel1983]

Shocking decision to let him carry on.Only one out come aftern that ,that was Enzo taking more punishment till he was ko'ed.

Looking at the video now he couldn't even lift his arms to throw a punch, very bad ref.

[Dark Lord Al]

I was glad maccrinelli recovered , but was very pleased he got knocked out.

Really bad shouldn't be allowed to ref again

Here it is

Was leathal!

One of the KO's of 2010. The second was brutal.

Enzo's corner should have not let him get back up.

[Beanflicker]

Yeah it was terrible reffing. Enzo was clearly gone and he really didnt need to last 2 brutal haymakers.

Thats another thingI thought about. No way on earth he should havebeen allowed to continue, by no-one. His corner are guilty too, although not as guilty as the ref. His license to referee should be revoked no danger..... Thought I was being over critical at the time, as I was horrified. But a just opinion in this case. Saying he could have been killed is a cert also. I was very worried for him when he went the way he did and was glad to see him get up, although he still couldn't walk afetr however many minutes it was. The way he slumped onto the stool after they carried him over there, he was still well out of it.

Even from the cheap seats we could see that Enzo was not in a state to continue, if you come back after a knockdown with your hands at waist height and staggering, it has to be stopped.

Hope he hasn't taken any lasting damage, he has had quite a few savage KO's now.

[HattonTheHammer]

it was bad but not terrible, the outcome of course was horrific and could of been tragic on another night

i would say the peter stoppage was far more damning on the refs side than this one

I was in upper 9 and nearly missed the first ko as I was watching the trouble in the crowd but turned round to see him knocked down for the first time and was amazed he got up. Was stood up and when he got knocked down again, was literally speechless. Hands on my head. Absolutely disgraceful decision to let him carry on - his corner needs to take some of the blame as well in my opinion. It is down to his corner to protect him - I'd have thrown the towel in after that. He could have been killed. Was quite uncomfortable seeing the replays to be honest - Enzo is a top bloke and you would hate to see anyone knocked out like that - especially when it could've been avoided.

Is that Ricky Hatton in your sig ? Looks like he's lost a few pounds recently, maybe looking for a comeback...

Ditto.

[WelshDevilRob]

It was a brutal, sickening KO.

The ref should have stopped it. Though the corner should have realised an acted and thrown the towel in after Enzo got up so shakily.

That last left hook I thought was gonna take off Enzo's head.

[Violent Demise]

I thought Erkki Meronen did a pretty good job in the fight. Outstanding actually. He let the fighters fight on the inside. And I can't recall him really breaking than up when he shouldn't of. He was pretty much unnoticeable through out the fight. Which is the way a ref should be. Sure Maccrapanelli got knocked the fuck out in great fashion. But I don't see why the ref should be bad mouthed. Enzo was winning the fight up to that point. He's regarded as a heavy puncher. So the chance of a hail mary punch was there. He was hurt. No doubt. But he beat the count. He got up. Fighters being badly hurt before and coming back to win has happened.

One of the main purposes of having the third man in that ring is to protect the fighters when they don't know well enough to protect themselves. He came up from that count not looking stable, and with his hands down the ref shouldn't have let him walk into a execution like that. There's letting a fighter have a chance, and there's letting him get hurt, that was an example of the second.
