Funny Fenster Clint told Terry today in the Gym, He has the right Hump.

Cruiserweight Enzo Maccarinelli is looking for a new challenger for this Saturday (6 December) at the ExCeL London after Johnathon Banks withdrew with an ankle injury. Banks, who was training in Spain with World Heavyweight Champion brothers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, damaged his ankle during a training session and was ruled out by his promoters K2. The hard-hitting Welshman still headlines the show and challenges for his previously held WBO World Cruiserweight title and a new opponent will be announced shortly. On the undercard Amir Khan takes on Oisin Fagan for the Vacant WBA International Lightweight title, and Audley Harrison faces Martin Rogan over 10 rounds.



unlucky for Macca this, i was looking forward to seeing his next fight. Lets hope he can get a new opponent for saturday

That sucks!!!

Enzo would most likely have beaten Banks convincingly. Now, a fight against who and at such short notice? That must be annoying.

The BBC reckons Hide is a strong candidate for the replacement. About as good that you can get on this notice, and also has the power to pose some trouble (bring back bad memories) for Enzo.

Hide would be a decent opponent. Wouldnt mind that actually.

Herbie Hide would be brilliant ive done a thread on this before Hide would be a big risk for Warren though surely.

How many fights have you seen of Johnathon Banks ? because this fight IMO was pretty 50-50. Johnathon Banks can hit and he has shown heart in the past. Both men have limitations both men can be hurt, i thought either man could win at anytime IMO. But Herbie Hide is a good replacement if they can get him.

[Tam Seddon]

hide would get the nod for me, lets hope it happens

[Fenster]

I bet it's not Herbie.

This always happens with late replacements.. they announce someone everyone gets excited about then bring in a nobody. I guess it helps sell the show

[leftylee]

I always had a feeling this fight wouldn't go ahead. And that's what happened, no surprise at all. Banks bittched out, just like he did in September. Fukking pussy.

[Tysonbruno]

Can't see Warren let Mac fight Hide on back of a KO defeat.

Yeh Banks vs Enzo was a quality match-up and hard to call.

Hide as a replacement would be great though Hide has been offered a WBC Eliminator against Matt Godfrey.

Fuuck me!!! That would be awesome!!!

Hide has kept himself very sharp and in good shape and I could deffo see him rattling Enzo big time but whether hed want to take it on this short notice, not having time to prepare any sort of tactics for probably his last big fight (if he were to lose) is a different matter.

Hide has slowed, and is still very gung ho but this is a real fight, we all know Hide will come to knock out Enzo and he may even have Enzo a bit worried, Enzo will know Hide is a puncher and is quick and aggressive and also a fuucking fruit loop

I say make it happen.

[Tysonbruno]

Well Frank needs to hurry up and get this sorted what with Cook pulling out can't see Sky Sports swallowing the Enzo Mac fight falling through. I also think that Rogan vs Harrison will be fight of the night on Warren bill.
