Can Maccarinelli Nail Brahmer?

Tonight a fighter most Boxing pundits wrote off, Enzo Maccarinelli, has a chance to enter the history books.

Maccarinelli will be taking on the WBA light-heavyweight champion Jurgen Brahmer in Germany.

Taking on a fight, especially for a world-title, in the champions backyard is always a difficult ask, but if Maccarinelli can pull off a victory he will become the first Welsh fighter to be a two-weight world champions and also the first British fighter to drop down a weight to win a world title since Bob Fitzsimmons did in 1903.

Maccarinelli previously held the WBO cruiserweight crown but his appear looked to be dying a horrible death when he was stopped in six consecutive fights. But rather than call it a day Maccarinelli decided to go against the grain and drop down a weight division with remarkable results.

The fight looks to be a tough one to call. Brahmer may be the weakest of the light-heavyweight champions, two years older than Enzo and two inches shorter, but he?s a slick operator. But Maccarinelli can dig his record of 38 wins has 30 by way of knockout.

It looks as if Maccarinelli?s best way of taking on Brahmer is to stay in the fight and then wait for the chance, because one chance will come, to nail the champion with one of those big punches. If he can then Enzo will go down in the record books?

Sticking our head above the parapet, we?re going for Enzo to nail his man around about round 8 and give us all a Saturday night to remember.
