Enzo made these claims himself in the media.............how as a teenager he use to go down Swansea and fight bouncers and bash them up to show off to his mates how good he could fight How long ago was this scrap over a bird?............PM the name of the guy if you want................ounds like the same guy Another mate I use to work with from the Gatehouse Pub / Gendros / Camarthan Road area said that in his youth him and loads of other boys use to hang around the park and drink cider and Enzo was among them And that Enzo once punched a boy who called his father a **** boxing trainer
I think you should take some of these stories with a pinch of salt. You take everything that Enzo says like its gospel. And even if he did fight people in his youth, so what? Not as if anyone else hasn't done it.:thumbsup
damn flint you really do know all the stories about enzo be them real or not, from what i have heard haye is very good at bjj and has had a grappling coach for years, i know enzo is a purple belt but i think haye would win, just a better all round athlete more powerful and if he trained for an mma fight he would batter enzo leading enzo to tap out through ass kicking
Almost everyone I know had a few scrapes growing up in Swansea. Know a few doormen and haven't heard one story about him as a youth! Scrap didn't actually take place but it was a mate of mine from school (Penlan Comp) and it would have been about 15 years ago now! My aunt and uncle used to run the Gatehouse but it would have been before your time. Must have given it up almost 20 years ago now.
Gatehouse just by the three sisters Pub :good and the Dojo gym is behind the three sisters pub where Enzo Maccarnelli does grappling training in MMA Camarthan Road I seen Enzo doing roadwork on there the Saturday before he KO'd Domiguez in Cardiff People didnt believe me when I said this But you can back me up.................Enzo doing roadwork on Camarthan Road..............is very likely isnt it...........and he lives near there and driving into swansea thats the main route I seen him running there loads of times I seen him the monday morning on the week of the David haye fight driving by the roundabout by the Gatehouse / three sisters pub maybe he was going to the dojo for a session
Wayne............... you know Enzo got a nephew Boxer Tobias Webb I see him in Swansea in the clubs all the time Anyway I heard he was a decent amateur and that he is going pro Is he pro yet Something in the paper last year about him siging with Frank Warren aint heard anything lately though
I really really like enzo! bUt haye will beat him everytime! At cruiser and heavyweight! But a rematch would be very intersting!
****ing hell. Everytime I read a thread with a lot of F.I posts in it I feel like I'm tripping on acid. Just to get one thing out of the way here. I can guarantee you anyone who posts on here who grew up in any inner city area was in a **** load of scraps when they were a kid. I know I was. I was in some serious situations too but I don't think that qualifies me to beat David Haye. I'd say 90% of the lads on here have been in serious rucks at some time or another. This is a really weird thread. next it will be 'who would win in a mud wrestling competition, Charlie Zelenoff or a cocker spaniel'.
Haye's interested in MMA ,thats news to me I know le'Big Mac's expressed an interest in it but I put it down to disapointments in his career making him look elsewhere.I don't think you can seriously pursue a career in both sports but sounds like Enzo is a big fan so good luck to him
Enzo's dad popped into where my dad works and told a few guys working there to look out for his nephew, Tobias (that's what my dad said, but maybe he's Enzo's nephew). I've not heard anything since though. A good pal of mine used to run a corner shop in Gendros and knew Enzo when he was growing up. I'm sure he'll know Tobias or of him. I'll ask him for an update. I'm sure people believe you when you say you saw him doing roadwork. It's not quite like seeing Roy Jones running about the place is it! I did kickboxing at that dojo for a little while. Well...conditioning. Kickboxing itself was run by some right posing **** so I didn't bother with it. Wasn't there to learn all the flashy ****.
I heard an interview with Haye a while ago and Haye said he would like to retire by 30 and go into MMA. Big fan of the Cage Rage promotion here in England apparently. Said he'd love to fight in the UFC. Sorry haven't got the interview though.
Cheers anyway :think, I suppose they're warriors and testing themselves in different forms of combat appeals to them.The financial rewards are nothing like boxing ...but each to their own
I'm sure Webb is actually Enzo's nephew. His sisters son..............I know these things cos I got a mate I use to work with who knows him and that. Lets see if he goes pro and can do anything I heard he got schooled out in a amateur tournament in America. Ref stopped the fight because the other guy was so far ahead on points............no shame in that though he could have been fighting amateurs the standard of Roshi Wells or Floyd Mayweather when they were 17 year olds
