David Haye v Enzo Maccarinelli - Cruiserweight Title Unification RBR

[superheavyrhun]

Rendall Munroe...the Leicester binman with a lead fist is coming into the ring looking sharp in a training top and flashy sunglasses. "We Jammin" by Bob Marley is his ringwalk music, and Munroe doesn't seem to be too flustered by anything so far.

Kiko's roundly booed before he even begins the ringwalk, and looks calm enough, chatting with his coach on the way in, and there are some Spanish fans in the crowd cheering him too. Martinez's 22nd birthday today...will it be a celebration or not. They square up as Martinez steps through the ropes.

Next up....I predict fireworks for this one.
