    Yep,that was one of the nastiest ko's in memory.I still remember Barret on his knees, trying to get up with a pool of blood under his head. He seemed to get hurt with every solid punch Wlad landed.

    Exactly. Even if Enzo won this fight JMM was still the biggest win of Hayes career thus far.

    I've been telling people that Enzo shouldn't of EVER been taken seriously as he lacks a lot of things to be top competitor and champion. But guys were still going around and hyping this fool as the best cruiser and saying he would KO Adamek and everyone in the division. haha

    All he was was a WBO bull**** titlist and defend that title aganst guys like Bobby Gunn and some Mohammad guy.. Why this guy was taken seriously, I never will know.

    You can't be serious. Only your casual Sun reader type fans and Welsh/Calzaghe stable fans thought that that this was ever going to be a competitive fight.

    Most people who actually follow boxing closely predicted it would be an easy win for Haye as Haye is on a different level to Enzo, and thats how it turned out.

    it may expose Hayes win over Enzo slighlty now but beating Monte Barratt does'nt And Davd stopped Enzo alot earlier .

    Maccarinelli was not dominated, nothing like it. He was outsmarted and stopped. He is not a world class fighter because he has a bona fide glass jaw. However, David Haye went to Paris and got up off the floor to wreck Jean Marc Mormeck. He is not overrated, he is the real deal.

    I already knew Haye was overhyped, so no.

    The final punch seemed to split Monte's face open. Interestingly, not long after losing to Klitschko, Barrett established himself as a top 10 fighter worldwide. That gave value to Klitschko's victory.

    No, and I'm guessing that you have yet to see the fight.

    I dont think the win makes Haye overhyped as he is a good fighter. But i think people who champion Hayes victory over Enzo as one of his best against a good opponent now needs to be looked at.

    This isnt as though Enzo got sparked by a great fighter or even a great puncher. The guy had 5 ko's in 13 victories one loss and 3 draws. He was awkward and Enzo admitted to maybe taking him lightly but thats no excuse and when talking about Hayes victory i think it may need to be reviewed as in was it all that great in the beginning.

    Yes, it does. It has been clear all along. The figth with Enzo was simply a local Brotish fight. Haye never defended his title against a solid cruiserweight. He won them against the fading Mormeck. And if you go to the previous Mormeck fights, you would see the signs. Haye on the right place, the right time but he never faced a solid rising cruiserweight.

    I was feeding the fight live here.

    I tell you the score card was at 5-3 Enzo.

    Ola was flickering the jabs from all rounds and getting good shots from 1 - 3. But Enzo came back at the 4. Some rounds can be given to Ola as he was still firing his jabs. Enzo just nailed him a lot with hard shot.

    Enzo didn't dominate nor Ola did.

    Don't believe the Sky's scorecard it was full of sh*t. 7-1 at round 8 by enzo! ya gotta be blind.
