Haye and Macca is on!

Well it seems that David Haye vs Enzo Maccarinelli is on for 8 March 2008: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/box...

I'll definitely be tuning in for this one. My prediction? Haye KO in the 4th. In my opinion he's just the classier fighter.

However, Enzo's quick and can punch which coupled with Haye's tendency to hold his left hand low could make for an upset.

Opinions? Reactions?

Well this fight has created a lot of interest and contributions on 606. My money will be on Haye, yes he does hold his left hand low but he also has good reflexes.Haye to stop Macca in eight rounds or less.

I think the big advantage that Maccarinelli has, is that he has Enzo Calzaghe in his camp. I believe this will count for quite a lot if the fight goes beyond 5 or 6 rounds. I don't know enough about either fighter to call this one.

Yes, Gavin Rees beat Souleymane M'Baye easily on points in July to win the WBA Light-Welterweight title...


Wasn't M'Baye a Warren fighter as well, who only got the title because Hatton wanted a bigger fight against Castillo???

Ive seen haye and he is a good fighter but enzo maybe hasnt fought a world-class fighter but he has fought everyone that is in his division and won easily!! Haye was lucky against mormeck and believe me if when enzo knocks out haye then he wont be getting back up... FACT

Boxing is my game I really enjoy it but some times you just have to laugh at the pro game, to compare these two to Eubank and Benn (who in themselves were a little over hyped) can’t do the sport much good. Two very average fighters, both with poor chins? why all the excitement??? Haye to win. oh yeah and as for the value of a WBO belt..... well we all know the answer to that ... TV money... with no respect.

Earlier on this post, I predicted that Enzo would beat a weight drained Hayes on points, as both boxers would have to much respect for each others punching power to get to hectic with each other.I stand by that prediction.
However I still think the fight is taking place to soon in their careers.
Their is something that smells to high heaven about this fight. Neither fighter wants to have their records destroyed by losing.
What price can I get with the bookies on a draw?!whistle

Haye to KO Enzo early on. I think Haye has far more power than Enzo. Haye has chased down big fights and put his neck on the line against Mormeck in particular, by whipping that chump in his own backyard! Enzo has been wrapped in a blanket by Frank Warren and spoon fed complete nobodies. Furthermore Haye had the balls to step up to heavyweight and completely dismantle Bonin, who in all fairness is probably not that great (He lost to Audrey!) but at least it shows he was willing to take a true heavyweights punch, people who say Hayes chin is made of glass must be stupid.

What a fight this could be, it looks like it could be who hits the other person hardest first.
We both know they are big punchers but can Haye take Enzos though & can Enzo step up in class its a hard one to call.
I will be looking forward to it.
