Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

This afternoon, former titlist Maccaranelli traveled to Russia to challenge heavily-favored prospect Alexander Kotolbay for the European cruiserweight title. Maccaranelli knocked out Kotolbay in the first round. After suffering knockout losses to David Haye, Ola Afolabi and Denis Lebedev, this is a good first step towards getting Enzo back in the title mix. Also on the card, Dmitry Sukhotsky, fresh off a decent showing against Juergen Braehmer, knocked out gatekeeper Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas in the first round to win an IBF regional trinket.

Good for Enzo.

I dunno how much he’s got left any more, but he always comes across as a good bloke, and he makes for good fights, so all the best to him.

It’s taken him a long time to sort himself out since the loss to Haye but let’s hope he can establish himself firmly on the elite scene. A world title shot could be offer soon.

This is absolutely brilliant news. Enzo has always been a likeable sort and most would have called it quits after the Afolabi and Lebedev catastrophes. Even if it proves to be a false dawn he should get full respect for carrying on and winning a major title, nice one Enzo.

I think he beats Ola in a rematch

he just gassed too much and Olafabi dealt with him as he should have. If he didn’t have those stamina issues, maybe paces himself a little more he could easily score a descision over him. Olafabi is far too lazy and doesn’t do enough in his fights for me

Goes to show how overrated Kotolbay really was. Might need to find another line of work. It’s one thing to get destroyed and embarrassed in a fight. But when it’s against Maccaranelli than you know you just ain’t that good.

If a man ain't found something worth dying for. He ain't fit to live.

Thanks Brickhaus

Don’t know a thing about the opponent, but it was good to see Mac firing off big punches again like he used to.

That was a hell of an uppercut Enzo finished the guy off with. Kotlobay… is not very good. Practically everything Enzo threw landed, Kotlobay’s jab was almost comically bad, and someone needs to teach the guy how to clinch when he’s hurt to buy time.

Beautiful right hand that dropped him. Enzo had some snap on his punches, looked confident too.
