Braehmer vs Enzo

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 2:57 pm

Anybody tuning in to this one to see if Enzo can upset the odds? I'm really hoping he does, a true gent and fair play to basically getting himself this shot.

I'm watching the fight now

The crowd is dead although between rounds there is a nutter who keeps yelling "yeeeeeehaaaaa!"

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 3:03 pm

haha yeah I noticed that mate, at least people are watching these undercard fights. There was about 10 people in the arena before Frampton came out last night.

by Strongback Sat Apr 05, 2014 3:08 pm

I read a quote where Enzo was saying he wants to be Wales first two weight world champion. I thought Calzaghe had already done that.

What time is Enzo's ring walk?

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 3:08 pm

Yeah Joe did it haha, should be about 10pm mate.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 3:34 pm

Jack Culcay will never make a dent in that division. That guy had been stopped 3 times and he couldn't put a dent in him.

Think Calzaghe only won the 'Ring' title at LHW.

Wish the fighters had called a truce and double teamed that pillock.

Liam Williams looked pretty sharp. Much more impressed with him than Culcay

So he did, come on Enzo Very Happy

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 4:26 pm

Would somebody mind putting a toilet brush down Buncey's throat?

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 4:37 pm

Apparently Eric Ochieng has been rushed to hospital after his Prizefighter quarter final, hopefully it's nothing serious.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 4:40 pm

"Hope Ochieng" was trending on twitter as so many people were saying "Hope Ochieng is ok" etc.

I echo those sentinments

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:06 pm

Gotta love these ultra competitive German undercards.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:07 pm

This lad just won't stay down, good decision from the corner there.

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:33 pm

Has the Enzo fight started yet? Am on the Isle of Wight with basic Freeview and nothing but a GPRS signal on my iPhone for internet access. Could someone please describe the punches as they land; incorporating sound effects like 'oof' and 'thwomp' at the appropriate junctures?

I also have beer.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:34 pm

Enzo looked calm walking to the ring, and Braehmer can keep his live music, Tom Petty took a steaming turd over that Very Happy

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:35 pm

Prefer the Johnny Cash version of that particular lump of cheese

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:36 pm

Enzo said earlier this week that he hoped they played the right national anthem, instead they played god save the queen picard

by EdWoodjr Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:41 pm

Come on Enzo, starch the arrogant, stay-at-home, jailbird robot.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:41 pm

this wont last

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:42 pm

Good first round, Enzo took some clean shots but that right hand at the end of the first has busted his eye badly.

Braemer landed a thwomp at the end of round one

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:43 pm

That eye is like a golf ball already.

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:44 pm

Enzo getting busted up? Come on Macca!

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:45 pm

It was just one punch mate, bit like the 2nd Abraham vs Stieglitz fight.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:46 pm

Move left throw the hook enzo

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:46 pm

Cheers, JBW. 1 thwomp to 0. Got it.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:47 pm

Lockett will pull him out after this round.

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:49 pm

Really? Going that poorly? I thought Enzo might have had a shot in this. Braemer's hardly stellar or a KO artist. Ho hum .

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:50 pm

Did ok in that round given he only has 1 eye.

Really think he needs to keep that right handed bolted up though. Work with the left only.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:50 pm

Not that mate, but it's like Enzo has got a softball on top of his eye. Doctor was called in during that round, but Lockett is letting him carry on.

He landed a good right hand during that round which forced Braehmer back but you get the feel that Braehmer is taking it easy.

Go on lad!

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:53 pm

Watch the doctor waive this off after this round.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:54 pm

Enzo doing well considering he only has one eye, he's landing good shots.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:54 pm

Say what you like about Enzo but the man has an iron will. Lockett gives him one round

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:55 pm

Yeah. That doesn't look good.

You all know what this means, don't you? He'll use this as an excuse as to why he lost and carry on...

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:55 pm

He's boxed well mate, has landed some very good shots and is showing some serious guts.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:59 pm

I think Braem was just seeing it out after the eye swole up

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:59 pm

Well, I like Enzo a lot. He seems like a decent guy, is better (I think) than he's given credit for and has fought his way back from several highlight reel KOs. Would have liked him to win this - and thought that he had a chance, given the reach advantage and the fact he has a decent dig... just so long as he could stay out of trouble.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:00 pm

Locketts pulled him out, probably broken his cheek bone or eye socket. Enzo wanted to carry on, and fair play. He boxed superbly and didn't take that many clean shots but as soon as the eye went it was an uphill battle.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:02 pm

The entire side of his face has blown up, shame that he won't get another chance. Time to hang them up now, nothing left to prove and I don't want to see him anywhere near Kovalov or Stevenson.

by Qoxiivi Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:03 pm

Shame. Cheers for keeping me informed. Hope that kid that was talked about earlier is ok. Bad luck Enzo, but kudos to your determination.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:03 pm

Incredibly weak stoppage over on prize fighter

by Happytravelling Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:04 pm

Awful injury and no doubt he should have been stopped but Lockett shouldn't have done it.

It was Enzo's last chance at the big time and should have chosen when to finish it or let the ref or docs do it.

I sympathise and slightly respect Lockett for doing it but HE has called an end to Enzo's career, which isn't very satisfactory.

by Mayweathers cellmate Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:04 pm

They're saying Enzo went into the fight with an eye injury. Despite losing that was a warrior performance from him.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:05 pm

The referee and the doctor should never have let Lockett make that decision, the doctor looked at that twice and did nothing. That guy should never be allowed near a boxing ring again.

The hardest thing to do is to close the giving hand out of kindness.

by **hampo17** Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:07 pm

I want to see a rematch of this fight, Enzo was holding his own in there and Braehmer seemed very negative from the off. Hopefully Sauerland give him another shot.

by Happytravelling Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:17 pm

Hampo, I kind of agree. But, as they didn't, I don't think Lockett should have made it, as correct as it was.

Enzo wanted to go on, as he should, and Braehmer wasn't exactly giving him a boxing lesson, landing at will etc. In fact, considering Enzo is a Euro level fighter, fighting with one eye, Braehmer really should have had more success.

But, it was up to the officials to end it. I appreciate Lockett was "looking after" his fighter and I do respect that but, he has deprived his fighter of his "last big chance".

As I say, although Braehmer was edging most of the rounds (I thought 1, maybe 2 at a push, could have gone to Enzo), he was making slightly heavy work of it.

Anyway, Enzo comes out of it with honour. He lost on an unfortunate injury. But sadly, that's the last we will see of him at this level. He was lucky to get this fight.
