    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.

    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.

    He continued from that? That's one of the craziest knockdowns I've ever seen...

    I saw Larry Holmes not once but twice get up from brutal knock downs to win. Against Shavers and Snipes. The Shavers one looked to have render him unconscious before he even hit the floor. Yet he still got up and won. Granted Enzo is more Katie Holmes than Larry Holmes. But the point stands.

    I reckon Katie Holmes has a better chin than Enzo, but seriously a ref has to know when a fighter isn't in shape to continue. If Larry Holmes was looking that bad, and unable to protect himself, then the ref should have stopped those too.

    No mate that was the finisher that he got up form one just before that which was nearly as brutal.

    Seems like the ref is damn if he stops it. And damn if he doesn't. The ref stops that Enzo fight and I guarantee you Enzo complains of a bad stoppage. Lennox Lewis to this day thinks his fight with McCall was stopped early. Despite him stumbling around with damn near the whole round left to go. Does anybody really think Lewis would of survived that round? I don't. But he wanted the chance.

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...
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
