Enzo to defend British Crown in rematch
Enzo Macrinelli faces a rematch against Shane Mcphilbin
after picking up a controversial win two weeks ago. The British title holder
statedafter the fight that he was happy for a rematch to take place, obviously
Macrinelli himself knew how close he was to being knocked out in the first
round of their twelve round encounter. Had it not been for the timekeeper
missing 47 seconds Mcphilbin was surely on route to knockout Macrinelli. I think
Macrinelli will find this tough but will be aware of the threat Mcphilbin
holds, it will be a close fight but I do feel the Welshman will get it right
this time.
Abraham back on track
Arthur Abraham has landed himself a title shot after a
twelve round win at the weekend over Piotr Wilczewski. Abraham will have his
eyes set on WBO title holder Robert Stieglitz, but he will have to await his
outcome as Stieglitz is due to fight challenger George Groves. Abraham looks to
be back on track for a title after battles with Carl Froch and Andre Ward.
Abraham will find things tough if he does take on either Groves or Stieglitz but for me can get the job
done, it just seems he struggles to take it to the next step against the elite
Super Middleweights.
Munroe to step up against Quigg
British Champion Scott Quigg will defend his crown against Rendall
Munroe on june the 16th. All eyes will be on the unbeaten Champ after
recent talks of him going up against Irish young gun Carl Frampton. Munroe is a
former Commonweath and European Champion and will be no push over for Quigg, either
way one of Ricky Hattons boys will surely have to step up in their next fight
and challenge Frampton.
In other news and 2 points I have to agree with,
A great article on bbc.co.uk with Sugar Ray Leonard as he has
urged Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao to get it on for the sake of their own
legacies,
And a great article in this month’s Boxing Monthly by Graham
Houston regarding the rematch between Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson. Houston
explains this could be a step to far for the 47yr old after his controversial
win in their last encounter, and regardless to the ability and upset record
that Hopkins has proven in the past, Dawson has to be the favourite here.
