Enzo Maccarinelli was unlucky actually!

[El Gamo]

What Enzo should have done - the game plan to defeat Haye - was to be extremely careful and keep those guards up all the way in the early rounds, and _then_ go after Haye in the mid to late rounds.

Almost hitting Haye doesnt get any him any probs, and letting Haye hit him was clearly 'doing things wrong'.

Dude,I need to rep you for constant excellent points. I have to spread some around but I totally agree with you here (and in 99% of other threads)Good posting my man.

Haye was sharper, faster, smarter, he was everything in that fight, he used good defense moreso than ENzo barely missing... I mean he landed a few hard rights on Enzo. What I don't get is why didn't the ref call it a knock down when ENzo first get hit into the corner it looked like he was already on his way down, but the ropes kept him up... I think that allowed David to hit him with 5 or 6 more solid shots that really ended the fight.

I mean it all ended so quickly but if you watch the 2nd round closely, Enzo narrowly misses, on two occasions, the second part of a vicious looking left-hook double-up. If the head shots had of landed, Haye might of found himself on the floor.

Haye was sensational last night though and i'm proud for my fellow Londoner.
I have high hopes for him at Heavyweight.

Kevin Mitchell suprised me too. That was some second wind!!

its his destiny

[Howlin Mad Missy]

good stoppage, Enzo looked tentative from the off. The one thing Haye will have at heavyweight is speed.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Pimp Suit handled his business... It was an impressive TKO. Haye just looked faster.

As far as Enzo "narrowly missing"... That's the difference between a KO and getting KO'd...

You can really say that about any fight.

Enzo didn't land and Hay did... and then he battered the champ against the ropes. I do agree with Daxx on the fact the ref should have been in there sooner. Had the ref gave him a count and he didn't get cracked with the unnessesary punch at the end of the barrage he may have been able to continue to fight...

But again... The "ifs" could fly all day...

The only thing I do know is Haye looked great and I can't wait to see him again!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Maybe i should re-title the thread 'I feel bad for Enzo, he wern't so bad'

Without overrating Haye, i think he'll score a few more stunning KO wins at Heavyweight. I dunno what happens against the Klitschko's/ Peter/ Chagaev & Valuev, but below that group i'm sure David will shine.

Enzo got KNFO, He talked the talk and never walked the walk whearas Haye did. He went in with the wrong strategy to beat Haye and it's his own fault for dropping his hands.

I think he had the right game plan before the fight but soon as he got in the ring that went out of the window, and he paid a heavy price for not sticking to a game plan.

[leftylee]

You could see who was going to win on the ring entrance alone. Haye was cool, calm and relaxed dancing to "Ain't no stoping us now" while Enzo practically ran out like a bull as if to say "Let's get this over and done with" and you could tell Enzo was nervous.

Even in the dressing room when Adam Booth was taping Haye's hands he was dancing and had his iPod on
