    Bunce

    I notice your currently online.

    Can you tell us - exactly what Enzo had to eat and drink ? when you interviewed him outside that hot dog stand in Wales - in the build up to the Haye fight.

    Was his diet shoddy all along the training camp ?

    Hatton used to have the big fry up on the morning of the fight - 'me head's not right if I don't'

    Truth be told it makes no difference once the leather starts flying

    Alex Ariza is known to give pacman a "shot" of pure steak and kidney pie around an hour before fight time.Courtney Shand swore that an IV drip of jerk beef pie gave Lennox mad skills. The problem was not the pie it was the delivery method. Mainlined pies are rocket fuel for serious athletes

    Have the words "Hatton" "pre-fight" "big-mac" been mentioned?

    First of all that is extremely unprofessional of the guy and his team, shows that they lack knowledge about nutrition as well. If he wasn't used to that sort of food the effect would be even worse. The immediate sugar hit from the dr pepper and chips would've caused his insulin levels to spike dramatically, one hour after consuming that food he would be feeling lethargic. He would also be right in the middle of digesting that fatty pie which would also affect his energy levels. One hour before for something like that is too close to the performance, why the hell hadn't he and/or his team had his pre fight meal arranged? As I said, completely unprofessional. And stupid.
