I don't, but I'd expect Wright to be a decent favourite.

Wright is around 8/11, Hopkins 11/10 !!

Maccareneilli nailed on but too short at 2/9 !!

Maccarinelli should be a very strong favourite.  Even though Braithwaite has stopped a fair few in his career - he hasn't really fought anyone I've heard of, and he's lost two out of his last three. 

Of course, a puncher always has a chance, but I think Maccarinelli will be too classy, too skilful and too much for him.

Gavin Rees looks like he's just given Enzo another world champ.  I'm sure he's won most of the rounds.

Calzaghe was screaming him on from ringside.  The two fellas sitting behind Calzaghe had to put up with Joe standing up the whole fight.  Neither asked him to sit down!!  ;D

Unanimous decision....113 v 117, 112 v 117, 110 v 118.  Excellent!

Big Truck is dangerous, this will be a proper test for enzo.  At the prices I'd got for Braithwaite.

An absolute masterclass by Maccarinelli - I had him winning every round (and one by 2 points for the knock-down) and one judge agreed, and the others nearly agreed.

Perfect boxing by Maccarinelli, who didn't put a foot wrong.  No knock-out, but that shouldn't worry him at all.  Top, top stuff.

Agreed.  That guy was genuine world class and Macca did a number on him.  He has gone from a slugger to a classy boxer.  Such a pity that talks to get him in the ring with Haye broke down.  Prior to tonight I'd have fancied Haye however after seeing that display I'd be backing Macca

So well judged in terms of keeping himself in check and not going for a knock-out and taking any unnecessary risks against a big puncher.  A very mature performance, from a very likeable bloke.

Onwards and upwards.
