David Haye V Enzo Maccarenelli - THE REMATCH

"I was so frustrated with myself because I knew I could have beaten Haye but at the end of the day it dosen't matter what has gone on outside the ring, people will only remeber what happened inside"

- Enzo Maccarenelli (who suffered a 2nd round knockout to Haye).

A rematch between the Britains two best cruiserweights is unlikely as things stand now. Enzo has got to rebuild and Haye is chasing o the heavyweight glory.

But Enzo seems to think he blew his chance - and suggested outside personal issues might have hampered his performance in the ring.
I think that everything with right for Haye that night - and everything went wrong for Maccarenelli - he would stand a better chance of a better performance in a rematch - but I doubt wether he is good enough to beat Haye. I wonder if they had a rematch would it go the same way or develop into a totally different fight.

Whatever people say about Haye was too good - maybe - but one thing I noticed for whatever reason - Enzo didnt perform that night - he was committed to throwing punches with confidence - I think this was down to the fear factor of facing a power puncher like Haye- but if Enzo managed to bring his A game would it be a different story?

 

the only thing is Haye took nothing back in this fight - if Enzo could start landing on Haye - Haye could be in big trouble himself

 

I thought the main factor was defense - Enzo has a very leaky defence - and when Haye was unloading on him in the corner - Enzo didnt know how to defend himself - and when he went down he went straight back up and stumbled like a drunk to centre ring while out on his feet - instead of composing himself - maybe taking a knee - looking to his corner for instruction - it was all a bit amateurish from Enzo

the main factor in this fight for me - it seems no-one has ever shown Enzo Maccarenelli how to really defend himself - cos he has never had to - until he met a fighter as good as David Haye.

 

If Enzo can come back and unify some crusier titles than move up to heavy - who would be intrested in seeing a rematch then?

 

YES I know the point your making and I am aware of this and accept your point - that it is Haye which makes it more diffcult to fight him

however I dont think David Haye is too hard to hard

Haye is no Defensive genius like Pernell Whitaker

I think Enzo froze and didnt let his shots go cos he gave Haye too much respect - he was backing up - not going forawrd as he normally does and unloading

 

does anyone know what the outside ring issues were the week of the fight that Enzo alleges he had which he claims effected his performance?
