Maccarinelli to split from Team Calzaghe ?

If I was Enzo i'd be on my toes to Manchester. Home of the best trainers in boxing.

 

Not sure if he'll leave Calzaghe where would he go?

I am sure he wouldn't leave Swansea to live somewhere else either he's born and bred here and loves the place.

Tough situation for him no doubt.

 

No.

 

He said on the boxing hour he didn't do any sparring. Now i'm no expert but surely sparring is one of the most obvious things to do in the lead up to a fight.

I like Enzo so I hope he does well but he just seems to be short of world level for me. Too many flaws. Anyway he obviously had to do something so that the next time he fights there might have actually been some improvement but realistically I think he should just concentrate on European level.

I'm not surprised that Warren told him to leave after Joe took a few quid off him though.

 

In his post match interview I got the feeling that he was hinting that he may have to have a rethink about training ie change trainers. About how "something always comes up" - refering to the court case perhaps.

I could have got the wrong end of the stick though as he didn't say it directly.

 

I am sure if he cared about his career enough he would move to a different trainer if it were to help him, even if he were to leave his 'comfort zone'.

 

I've always been a really big fan of Brian Hughes. Think the guy is class and a quality trainer. I actually think his calm approach would be better suited to Maccarinelli than all that screaming and bawling (and slapping!) that Enzo Calzaghe does.
Saturday Enzo was blowing himself out and Calzaghe only encouraged it with all his screaming and firing Enzo up. Enzo didn't need firing up, but rather calming down - taking a step back and relaxing more, picking his shots rather than go all guns blazing.

Maccarinelli needs to be more of a boxer (box-puncher) than a fighter, with his long rangy style. Don't want to risk too many clips on the chin, as it has let him down several times now.

 

Enzo Calzaghe is a legend..

 

Thats exactly what he needed... If he'd have given himself room he certainly wouldn't have been tagged with nearly as many shots.. Have you boxed yourself Gaz?

Personally I think London would be best for Enzo... I think someone like Jim Mcdonnald would have the right contacts and has experiance in training fighters with similer issues. They'd also be bags of sprring in London. I also think a move to light heavy might be fruitful. His physical advantages might make him start using those excellent skills he had when he turned pro. Plus his power would prob go down with him. That former Cruiser champion tag would certainly help him get a world title shot and for me there is something very impressive about afighter winning world titles going down in weight. Dariuz michelzewski did it with the WBO cruiser title.

 

Enzo Calzaghe is a MUPPET and is a shyte trainer.If Mac has any ideas or is to have any hope of doing anything with his career he needs to moce camp and change trainers.

 

jeff why dont you offer to train him

 

I'm certain there wouldn't be any hard feelings if he decided to move on. It's his career and he needs do whatever he thinks is necessary to get himself back on track. Maybe a change in training methods and a stint working away from home would do him good.

If he does decide to leave I personally think he should go to the US and work with a top American trainer like a Freddie Roach or Nazim Richardson. Then at least when he looks back on his career he can rest assured that he did everything in his power to make the most of his talent.

He'd have to dig into his own pocket to fund it himself but given that he drives a Ferrari it appears that he could definitely afford to do this. Sell that if necessary and it would cover most of the expenses.

Whatever he decides to do he'll be world champion again I'm sure. He just needs to grit his teeth, get back to basics and start working his way back into contention.

 

I don't think he's a shite trainer, and when I saw him on 24/7 he came across pretty well but stuff like this.....
[YT]AqHUrz7YFXk[/YT] Yep Haye was terrified, Enzo tactics were completely crazy....

[YT]k3LuVJqYtgk&feature=channel[/YT] He knew how to beat Hopkins? He's only seen one tape....... Not by my reckoning. Hopkins got stiffed.

[YT]vZGjBueayog[/YT] Bless gary.... good fighter, never got to prove it..... Bad tactics..

 

...sounds like a good idea.:good

Bit too late, though, isn't it?
