Maccarinelli to split from Team Calzaghe ?

:good Cheers Doug

 

There must be a real concern about Enzo being mentally damaged after the David Haye fight

He refused to give Haye credit and said he made a "mistake" - fair enough everyone makes mistakes

But nown he got knocked out again he has said that Ola would not beat him if they fought another million times

The worry here is Enzo is starting to sound a bit like Audley Harrison - denying everything

I thought the Ola fight was a worse defeat for Enzo than Haye because it was a more true battle that dragged on into the later rounds

But Enzo has claimed that there was something worng with him and Ola would never beat him if they fought another million times

I think Enzo might have been mentally scarred after these two losses and is a bit in denial

 

Enzo is a nice guy - but it seems his ego wont allow to give the other guys credit for beating him

Haye you could put it down to a mistake

But Ola deserves some credit he fought a smart fight and hurt Enzo bad in the 3rd round and nailed him with a beauty of a punch

But Enzo thinks was all his own fault and would never happen again even if they fought a million times over

 

what was the mistake against Haye? :huh
he was bitter when Haye beat Mormeck, talked bollocks when Haye smashed him and is talking bollocks now Ola smashed him. He's making an arse of himself, nice guy or not.

 

:think..............thats a intresting comment - I have not heard that said before

Can you explain in detail what you mean by that statment?

Why bitter that Haye beat Mormeck that set up a fight for him with Haye and secured his biggest payday and shot at the WBC / WBA titles in Britain

None of that would have happened if Haye had lost

So why would he be bitter that Haye beat Mormeck ?

 

there's a video on youtube of him on Bunce's show the day after and he's basically being a bit of a **** about Haye's win. Seemed to be revelling in the fact that Haye got 'dropped heavilllyyyy' etc. Well Enzo, at least he didn't get well and truly banjoed like you 3 times now.
Probably a bit of jealousy.

 

can you post that video on here? - I aint seen that

 

maybe so he only human and everyone can feel the twinge of jeaolusy now and again

after all Haye did win the WBC / WBA titles that night - the very titles Enzo wanted for himself

 

I don't like how he refuses to give people credit when they spark him fair and square. He's starting to come across as a twat. Having said that, coming into a fight like that with no sparring is ******ed to say the least. I think he should move camp where not only will he actually get some sparring, but sparring with boxers his own weight.

 

"I think Enzo might have been mentally scarred after these two losses and is a bit in denial"


You hit the button there, the biggest test of his career getting knocked out and then getting knocked out in the comeback fight.
I would hate to put myself self in those shoes, mentally the feeling of failure must eat you from the inside out.

It's a hard fact to take that your not going to hit the heights you envisioned and for a boxer the outlook appears narrower, and it must become harder to motivate yourself.

 

It seems now that the quest to become a unifed world champion WBO/WBC/WBA/IBF - is out of his grasp and he may never fufill what he believed he was going to

 

Very true, coming back from a hard-fought points loss is one thing but a fight where the other guy knocked you out...that's tough, no matter who you are.

Enzo seemed to be in denial after the Haye loss and now this one too. He's trying to shore up his confidence but I said several times during the months after the Haye loss that his refusal to accept and understand why he lost that fight would lead to him losing again down the road, and it's already happened.

He needs to really be honest with himself, not all this blood testing nonsense.

 

The thing with a KO is there is nothing you can do about it.... You are physically beaten. If you lose on points you can change your strategy. train harder. Its easier to rectify then been KO'd in that manner.

Enzo's game plan was all wrong. He had no plan b. His infighting was absolutely terrible. Watch Jamie Moore go to work on the inside and then compare it to Enzo's effort the other night. Enzo could have won that fight at middle distance, where his punching power and creativity are at there most effective. Instead he went to the inside smothered his work and left so many holes in defence that his opponent simply had to take the KO oppertunity.

Truth is, as impressive as Ola was, any fighter with an ounce of nouse about them would have beaten enzo the other night. Imagine what a prime Carl Thompson or Jonny Nelson would have done?

Enzo's talent should not be allowed to waste away.

 

I agree with Adam Booth on Maccarinelli.

For the 1st and probably only time!

 

Accidently signing the contract, iirc.
