    Hopefully it should get quite a build up in the poopers. I've seen qiute abit of boxing in those things over the last few month. Various articles on lots of fighters, with Haye and Enzo being two of the most used guys.

    I do not think it will get too much tv coverage outside sky ect.

    Is Evander Holyfield on Soccer AM next week? I am sure I heard it somewhere, oh and the Rock.

    Enzo KO around 7 or 8.

    I think both fighters will start pretty cautiously, respecting each others power before seeing fireworks around the mid rounds.

    The early rounds are the danger for Enzo and his chin also isn't the best but his boxing skills have greatly improved since joining Enzo Calzaghe and I believe he can keep Haye at bay in the early rounds where Haye will be the more dangerous.

    Haye is the better boxer but his chin as proven isn't the best and I believe with that and the weight draining factor will prove his downfall. The longer the fight goes on the more it favours Enzo in my opinion and I see Haye weakening in the second half of the fight and the better conditioned Enzo will knock him out.

    Good post. I agree but it really could go either way. I am really looking forward to this fight. I think Haye is all around better than Enzo, Enzo is no bum and deserves the credit he has been given but his true class will only tell in this fight. Whatever happens as long as he is not schooled he should come out with alot of credit.

    The weight draining aspect for me has the biggest say in who wins this fight. Haye needs an early ko and Enzo should be ready for it.

    For me the fight is totally dependant on Hayes weight making issues. I think either could win by KO at any moment both are renowned one shotters. I think Haye is a class act and the epitome of everything we want to see- he's willing to take on the best and give the public what they want to see.

    I think that Enzo has all the tools required to win but SN sloppy matchmaking is going to come back and bite them in the ass again. I feel Hayes confidence and offensive creativity will see him get off the deck to out gun Enzo in about 4-5 rounds. I think Enzo will come out boxing rather then banging and look to capitalise on Hayes mistakes and this in itself poses the main intangible- in this poise will Enzo outlast Haye. My gut feeling is no but its not beyond comprehension that Enzos more compact style coupled with Hayes reduced reflexes from the chores of weight making may be enough to whether any early storm and eventually use the better conditioning to pick apart an exhausted Haye in about 7.

    I can see clearly a route for each to victory but think a Haye victory is slightly more likely. Look for Haye to drag Enzo into a slugfest as early as possible. He doesn't want this to go long, he won't blast out of the blocks - he'll box at first then probably catch Enzo with something and slug fest ensues. Should be fantastic though.
