David Haye v Enzo Maccarinelli - Cruiserweight Title Unification RBR

[bzkfn]

Undercard discussion time for me now...

Kevin Mitchell vs. Carl Johanneson

I was looking forward to this one around the time I heard Carl was booked in for a fight with Gomez, and I'm so glad the fight got postponed in January because it means I now have a shit hot undercard fight to watch. Carls performance against Gomez was a cracker. He looked seasoned, he didn't panic and he used his head, picking his punches perfectly before grinding Gomez down. This showed tremendous heart and discipline and will only help his confidence going into this one. Mitchell though, has yet to taste defeat and looks like he could be on his way to very big things. He packs a decent punch, and looks fairly calculated when in the ring. I predict he'll use this as a stepping stone and stop Carl in around 6 in a firecracker of a fight.

Being from Liverpool, I'm really happy that I get to see Paul Smith live. Smith has a decent future, although I'm unsure if going on the contender helped or hindered him yet. He has a shot at the vacant English Middlewight title against Cello Renda, who I must confess I know very little about. Smith is 22-0-0, and on that record you'd be hoping he'd be in line for a British shot soon but he needs a test to prove he's ready. Renda has a record of 14-5-1 (9 by stoppage), is coming off the back of two wins, although has notable losses to Prince Arron on points, and was knocked out by Nathan Cleverly victims Ayittey Powers & Joey Vegas. Smith should be on another level to him and should force the stoppage by the midway stage.

Souleymane M'Baye also continues his comeback from losing his WBA 140 title to Gavin Rees last July. He faces Dominican Jose Soto (22-4-2) in a ten rounder. M'Baye's only losses have come against Rees and Junior "The Prick" Witter victim Vivian Harris. 3 of Soto's four losses have come by KO, and M'Baye is the classiest opposition he will have faced so I see no reason why he can't follow suit.

Must get Setanta card sorted for digi box. Anyone else done this? Straight forward is it? please say it is.

[bzkfn]

Sorry Memphis. Easy to sort but I had nothing but trouble with it...so got it after I sorted Sky out. You can't watch anything after 3am on Setanta on Freeview, but for the exact same price, you can on Sky. Its in the small print so be careful.

I'm with you Fenster in that this fight is a crazy one to bet on. What chances we get a Rocky situation where they both land bombs and are simultaneously counted out?

But seriously, I don't think I'd know where to throw my money, as I can see three of my 5 options up there happening....personally I don't see it being a draw, and in no situation can I see a David Haye UD, but the rest could happen in my mind.

I think Im going to be missing this fight. The freeview box is pretty much unwatchable where we are and I dont fancy my chances of getting Sky in before the weekend.

Proper fucked off.

P.S I had a dream Enzo won.

[Tam Seddon]

What time does the fight start ? I hope its not silly o'clock, but none the less that does mean ill be more drunk for it...

Im picking Macca for the KO. I think he will expose Haye early too, for the simple fact Hayes guard is awful and Maccas right is amazing. Im hoping for the big punch stoppage and I think its going to be an awesome fight.

[Dark Lord Al]

Rhun did you say you were going to the fight

Personally its Haye for me inside 4 , but wouldnt be a shocker if Mac wins by KO either

[Fenster]

Tam, the fight is at silly o'clock - 2am

Memphis, you seem to have and then not have Sky/cable everyother month

[Tam Seddon]

Gave you some rep Fenster, dam Saturday night is going to be a messy one.

Ive never had sky. Had telewest back in Bristol but had Setanta kinda on off. Wasnt going to bother with any of it to be honest but the freeview picture is shite and the house already has a sky dish so.....

Ive gone on the sky website but they say our brand new phone number is disconnected, of course BT say otherwise so Im stuck in the middle with no fight

Hey Memphis two weeks ago I phoned Sky on a Monday and my Sky was installed on the Thursday. Give it a go mate I was very surprised.

[Mark TKO]

this one ends before the 6th, no doubt about it

as to which way it will go flip a coin, thats what makes it so exciting. If I had to lean one way I go for Haye but if he is kayoed in the first 30 seconds than that wouldn't surprise me either

have no doubt it will be a cracker though

[leftylee]

Heart-Haye............
Head-Enzo.............

I'm going with my HEART!!!
