David Haye v Enzo Maccarinelli - Cruiserweight Title Unification RBR

I just noticed Koori Warrior is online. Who the hell is he?

Apparently she's Kevin Mitchell's mum.....I guess its understandable cheering on your son.

Round 5:

It's all lgone a little darker on the screen. Cagier opening, with Johanneson with a straight right, but then taking a body shot and a left hook up top. Johanneson gets Mitchell on the ropes, and body shot. Good uppercut from Mitchell, but immediately takes a left hook. Good right hook from Mitchell, but Johanneson with two short upperhooks. Body shots from Mitchell, but Johanneson lands short hooks. Great left hand from Mitchell, and Johanneson rocked! They're still toe to toe, and after a Mitchell flurry, Johanneson opens a body shot and hooks. Lovely Johanneson uppercut has Mitchell on the run, then body shots, and two straight shots up top. Right hook from Hohanneson. Mitchell looks for a few hooks, lands only to the body.

Sensational fight, Johanneson edges it.

48-47

yeah great stuff :D

Mitchell put in an amazing shift, and he hugs Frank Maloney, and they share a good chat and a hug, and both fighters deserve a lot of praise, but Mitchell coming back from nearly being stopped is superbly impressive.

Questions on his chin answered, his punch power in stopping the tough, durable Johanneson was exceptional, and Mitchell is now the British and Commonwealth title holder.

Once again, fantastic exciting fare, and hopefully more to come for the main event.

Mitchell should of carried him to the bell that way I could of got the points

Can't believe you think that was a bad stoppage. Johanneson was done, wasn't returning any shots and was on very shaky legs. He was taking punches to the head, wasn't looking up, and I don't think Ian John Lewis can be blamed at all for stepping in.

Kevin Mitchell said afterwards: "I think I came of age tonight. He's the second in the rankings. I beat him there, he's a great champion. Carl's a warrior and a strong man. I learned different tactics, and sometimes I outmuscled him and sometimes I stepped it up. I've watched the HAttons and the Calzaghe's and they've all come through learning fights like that. I will not give up no matter what. I moved around in the early rounds, but I proved I have the heart of a champion. You've got to learn to dig deep sometimes. I've still got loads to learn, I'm only 23, and I will be world champion."

Now that was an appetiser and no mistake! Next up we have the main event due to start sometime between 2am and 2.30am and survey says it'll probably be a Haye KO....nearly 70 % have that resuly....then we have a quarter with Maccarinelli KO, and a measly 6% backing Maccarinelli. No-one at all thinks Haye can get a points decision.

on a Sports Network card.... wonder why :-X

I think he did come of age too ... Ive always been a big Mitch fan but thought he was way way too static in there tonight ... and Carl had him worried on a number of occasions ...

Ya gotta feel a little sorry for the Leeds lad, may be those nights or alleged nights that he is rumored to have had on the town caught up with him in the end, but I could not understand the commentator hinting that Carl had gone because he'd given his all, and had run a little out of gas

Of course he was tired, but Mitchell was hitting him all through the fight with half decent body shots, which for me would have to tell at some stage, and eventually did,

There will certainly be some major homework done by the Mitchell camp before they step up again, there has to be, ie using his guard with effect, and if someone can let Mitch know that it is ok for him to move his head sometimes, and to use the jab which he does well or has done in the past ... except for the right hand guard dropping that is .....

But fair play to Mitchell he came through against who Id describe as a strong, tuff, reasonably hard hitting though limited, journeyman, that was there to win though....

But he is going to have to improve, as we saw nothing new tonight except that he really does take a shot well ... and that when his back his against the wall ... he can deliver a little bit of class ..... at this level, but beyond that, well ....who knows.

:badass::badass::badass:

Good Showtime has started. Fuck this MMA promo

What the fuck is Woods saying? I can't understand shit he's saying. Is that English he's talking?

I see Calzaghe in the dressing room with Enzo. Even more reason I want to see Enzo get knocked out.

Man VD...you getting a lot of airtime up there.

1) Woods is speaking northern....I believe they are working on a subtitling system for you.

2) Calzaghe and Enz have been buddies for ages. And I trust our sig bet for Calzaghe v Bhop still on.

Next up.... the ringwalks. My pissed mates just got home. Oh joy.

I wanna see Haye win this one then move up to HW and atleast give that division a bit of excitement. I cant help but think that his stamina issues may see him lose this fight which would be a shame.

David Haye gets a rapturous welcome there, and he's coming on to "Ain't no stopping us now". Haye's taking his time getting to the ring, and revelling in the atmosphere. He finally makes it into the ring. Lots of stars around the ring. Bruno. Holyfield. Khan.

Maccarinelli coming in second, and there's a fiery welcome for the Welshman coming to London. "I won't back down" is his entrance music, and I just smacked one of my mates who stood dancing in front of me. Next time he goes to work on Monday with a black eye.

This should be a very special fight. Enzo Mac can pull it out the bag

Evander in the crowd. Here is hoping he is not sizing up his next opponent.

Haye pacing the ring a bit. Maccarinelli just bouncing up and down. Some fit ladies in the ring there too. Finally, it's here. Maccarinelli will now on be shortened to Macca. As they're announced, another round of boos for Macca. Calzaghe just behind him with the Welsh flag. Some cheers for him as well.

Haye definitely has the bigger fan base....and is looking mean and prowling by himself. Apparently he's living in Northern Cyprus these days. intense stare out.

and someone mentioned the audio rd by rds...

imagine me with my geordie accent with an undertone of german :-X

Macca with a bfirst punch that makes haye stumble, and Haye is the one circling so far. Cagey stuff. Jab from Macca and Haye misses wildly. They're both worried about each others power. Haye jabs and misses, Macc with a jab, then a clinch. Haye falls short with a jab to the body. Macc has the quicker hands. Body shot from Haye, and abig left from Macc. Haye partially gets his right hook blocked. Haye lunging in to the jab. Macca falling short with two jabs. Jab and straight right from Haye. Jab and right to the body from Haye. Still cagey stuff. Left hook from Macca.

Very close, tied round.
10-10

I dreamt last night that Macca won by ko. But i tipped Haye by ko. Maybe thats why.

Yes. Fuck Enzo. Now I can watch the HBO card

Round 2:

Both men falling short wirth jabs. Still cagey, with Hatye centre ring now. They swap right hooks, but rough stuff. Clinch, and a body shot from Macc. Big jab and right hand from Haye. Jab and a hook from Haye, Macc ducks under and lands a big left hook. Good right hand and Macc is still standing. Hate with a firm jab. Macc with another body shot. Jab right hook, big right hooks, and another, Maccis on wobbly legs. Maccarinelli is waved off. David Haye was emphatic.

Haye was sensational. Big right hand. Maccarinelli just couldn't take it. Haye is walking the ring, delighted with it.

LOL...Oh My!!

So, Haye leaves the cruiserweight division as the unified champion, and is now going to the heavies. Maccarinelli is still wobbling, and a huge right hand put him down. He slumped against the ropes, and two more right hands finished him off. If he'd have taken a knee he might have had a chance, but he was so badly shaken up he wasn't coming back.

Haye proved his mettle, and he's going to be taking the heavyweights by storm. Great work. 2:04 in round 2 is the time. WBA, WBC, WBO and Ring champion.

WOW,Nice.great right hand and good show.One question...why is Holyfield in the crowd ;).Haye up to heavy looking to make a splash....Holyfield looking to make a last bundle of loot? Any way ,great to see some airtime in the States for Haye.

stunning!

Holy fuck!!! :o
