Maccarinelli: "Haye is delusional! I'll punch a hole in his head!"

They're not the worst boasts I've ever heard.

He has fought at a higher level than Enzo, that's a fact.

And who can really say Haye can't win inside a minute? He's well capable of it.

 

The only opponent he fought at a higher level was Mormeck. Don't let that judge your prediction too much.

 

Could really go either way, depending on how far it goes. I expect a Haye KO tho'.

 

I'm going with Haye inside 4-5 rounds. Nothing against Macca, who is a good fighter and can obviously bang. I just think the styles of the respective fighters (two chinny bangers) dictate that it isn't likely to be a long fight and that Haye with his better speed and (I believ) harder punches is best equipped to come out on top. I think the stamina problem that he had earlier in his career is not such an issue any longer (though if it is a long fighter probably favours Enzo with his higher workrate). Haye also HAS beaten better fighters (Williams, Delaney, Kelly, Fragomeni and Gurov were all decent enough and Mormeck the legit champ, compare favourably to Scott, Hobson and Braithwaite).

That said, Haye does carry his left hand worryingly low, so if Enzo can land the powershot first who knows. Kind of reminds me of Paul "scrap iron" Ryan v Ross Hale. Scrap blitzed him in one. On another night, could easily have been Hale who scored a KO, Scrap just reached the trigger first.

Great matchup, but I'm going for Haye in 5.

 

Ryan v Hale is a good comparision!!!

 

:good am going with macca in the 9th .

 

Reading those quotes from that linked interview, it seems that Enzo is getting worked up and the macho side is coming out. Quotes like "I'll punch a hole in his head" you hear in just about every village boozer going at closing time! Haye meanwhile looks a bit more analytical, as though he's thought about it and is calling it as he sees it.

Great fight, think Haye will win it but may the best man and all that. I'll just enjoy watching it. Does anyone know if there's anything decent on the undercard?

 

I read that this morning. It gave me a laugh, just good old fight build up talk. I hope it continues. Both have alot to win heading into this fight so it is good that both are sounding up on thier toe's already. I still believe Haye will win but im going with the underdog Enzo by round 7 ko.

 

Mitchell v Johanneson is on the undercard. That has all the makings of a good one.

 

He's from Swansea FFS, what do you expect. You've obviously not ventured there before

 

Its a week to the fight, they're just trying to shift the rest of the tickets. TBH I though all the BS would've started before this.

 

This is great either way.

I would be amused if Haye really did beat him in just 1 minute.
And if Enzo was somehow able to literally drive his fist straight through Haye's head, that would be one special knockout.

 

Oi, nothing wrong with Swansea

 

Haye's a world champ but I'm not sold on this Booth though. What Is he thinking to make Haye even heavier when he finally does fight at HW, he wants Haye to be 17st and they never should of built the muscle to HW so soon until he actually does go to HW.
