Macca makes comfortable defence


Maccarinelli (right) has now won 28 of his 29 fights

Enzo Maccarinelli defended his WBO cruiserweight title with a fourth-round knockout of Mohamed Azzaoui at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.


The Swansea man landed with a huge left to the body in round two and his Algerian foe never fully recovered.

Maccarinelli, again displaying fine all-round boxing skills, landed another massive left hook to the kidney in round four and Azzaoui was counted out.

Azzaoui cried foul, but replays showed the killer punch was a legitimate one.

The 27-year-old Maccarinelli started sloppily and was caught several times in the first round by his 31-year-old opponent, who was previously unbeaten in 24 fights.
