David Haye vs Enzo Macceranelli Prediction Thread

Yeah he swore blind he could not make crusier weight again,hows he gonna act when he gets hit hard and is maybe ****ed up with the weight,he got away with it against a old mormeck,cant see enzo letting him of so easy,on the other hand though,he could walk out there and smash enzo straight out with a big dig,enzo aint met any one with hayes power yet,should be very interesting.

 

Haye is a proper fighter, hes not arsed about winning or loosing he just wants to be the best. Enzo has only faced 1 decent opponent but hes going to get smashed by Haye. Both have dodgy chins but Haye punches harder and has faced better oposition. Hobson put macca down and had him rattled if Haye can land one big shot its night night. Ezo can fight at a better pace than Haye and for longer but i dont think he wills stop haye landing something big

 

What an absolute treat this fight is going to be. You have to hand it to Haye, he doesn't duck the big fights.

Big step up for Enzo, but if he's going to set himself up as the best cruiserweight, he has to take on Haye. And Haye needs Enzo to finalize his credibility before moving on to heavyweight.

Both have great body shots, really hard punches that take the wind out of their opponents. Haye dropping his hands isn't going to make much difference, because he's a good mover and it disguises whether he's throwing a hook or a jab. Enzo likes his boxers to be standing in front of him, and I think that Haye's movement is going to be the biggest problem for him.

It really seems like a roll of the dice this one though, on who gets their best shots off. If it comes down to boxing skills, I give it to Haye, simply because he hits harder, moves better, but his defence can be lax. Enzo is a good worker, sets himself well with the jab, but is just too stationary for me.

Haye has time to get the balance of his body right again for cruiserweight, with a bit more strength in his legs, which he seemed to suffer having dropped so much after the Bonin fight. A very close fight, with probably the world's two best cruiserweights, with Haye edging it so far on the quality of opponent faced to date.

 

Thats how I call it.:deal

 

It will be a great fight. Haye better start loosing weight pretty soon to make the 200lbs limit without hard dehydation. Another threat for him is overtraining. However with very well planned and executed training camp this should be a David Haye KO. I've voted for Haye between 5 and 8, but the KO can come from both side. That's why it's interesting.

 

Haye rd 6, after a knockdown or two for each fighter. Could be simular to Foreman Lyle. I hope so.

 

Buncey said that Haye was only 6 pounds over a few weeks after the Mormeck fight so weight may not be such an issue.

Both fighters down early, huge punches, massive action - a potential classic!

Haye in 9 and I WILL be there.

 

Haye's chin is suspect, but at least it took a world class fighter to stop him. That glass-jawed fraud Maccarinelli was taken out by some stiff.

Haye will annihilate him - early too. :nod

 

I hope and pray Haye knocks this unkind, unfriendly, cocky, humerous mother****er OUT!
And not because I am a Haye fan, but just because ''Enzo'' is a big *******. Cmon David!!!

 

Haye has fought the better opposition in the amatuers and the pros, Enzo looks good and should box in this one....this fight is a natural and should be a war...I see Haye as the guy to beat here

 

Could go either way. Its a step down for Haye, he does not need Enzo at all. The money must be really good for him to accept this. I think its a mistake, he gains little in beating Macca, just ends a domestic rivalry and shits on Warren. I would ****ing cry if Enzo actually won. I hate the guy, imagine if he was undisputed champ. Imagine what Frank Warren would be saying. It would be a ****ing travesty. The worst thing is, he might actually do it....

 

if ****ing enzo wins this one I'll be depressed for about 3/4 days I think:|

But let's not talk ****, Haye's going to knock him out ok

 

Even as a proud Welshman I prefer Haye. He's got courage, how ****ing long has it taken Mac to step up to the plate

Mac's power is overrated. Sure he hits hard, but harder than Mormeck? I doubt it. He battered a shot Braithwaite, and still couldn't take him out. You have to ask if Braithwaite could have took those shots from Haye, and the answer is undoubtedly no, so we know who has the edge in power

Mac's chin hasn't been tested. He's fought so many cab drivers that we don't know whether he's improved since getting layed out by a nobody. But its doubtful he's improved to the extent he takes Haye's shots

Haye mid-round KO

 

Just like Bunce said, it's the biggest UK domestic fight since Benn-Eubanks in Old Trafford and the best Cruiser fight that could be made at the present moment. Macaranelli will not be the favourite but will be favoured to utilize his stiff left jab on his toes over Haye's low left and keep him in check like he did to Braithwaite. Having said that, it's pretty obvious that one has to physically dominate the other at this weight class of above 190 pounds to win and that is by way of finding places to land their trademark shots - Macarinelli's left hook to the body and Haye's big right hand - neither one of them can absorb those hard blows and retaliate emphatically... It's still too soon to discover subtleties in their boxing styles but I would risk to say that David is the much bigger, formidable force and Enzo will be in there to test his stamina with a consistent, cautious boxing performance. Props to Frank Warren for making this one come true.

 

Thats my gut instinct too. But you cant forget this is David Haye were talking about, anytime he faces a big puncher he is in danger, so its not impossible for Enzo to win. I'm putting my money on enzo, he's gonna crumble when he feels Haye's power.

I rate Haye as a better boxer with better and he's shown a great deal of maturity too. If Enzo wins I imagine it will be a one-punch hail-mary type of effort rather than him outboxing Haye, Enzo's only hope is he can land the big punch. I know Haye has a dodgy chin, but Enzo has never knocked out a world-class opponent. He never hurt Braithwaite and was outboxed in the first Mark Hobson fight, which he nearly lost because he couldn't put Mark away. David Haye's power is undisputable. He puts them all to sleep.

Respect to both men for taking the fight, I never thought Enzo would step up but now he has. Fair to him, its the only fight that makes sense. The british public were starting the feel cheated so I'm glad they put the politics to one side and made it happen.
