Haye v Maccarinelli

CarterCarter
edited January 2008 in Other Football and Sports
As Leroy Ambrose rightly pointed out, this should be British fight of the decade/century.

Anyone else going? Should be a belter, Haye being a London boy fighting in his backyard looking to become the next Lennox Lewis. Enzo Maccarinelli possibly the best cruiserweight in the world at the moment. Both are big punchers, Enzo possibly has the harder jab and is at a more comfortable weight but Haye has got a sledgehammer of a power punch and that keeps him there with the cliched 'punchers chance'.

    Was tempted to go until I saw the ticket prices!
    Coupled with lack of details about the undercard, I decided to settle with a TV view.

    me too , bought meself a haymaker t-shirt instead.

    not only were the ticket prices a bit steep but the fight is on tv live in the U.S so it will be at ridiculous o clock
  • CarterCarter
    The undercard or lack of information about it is slightly concerning Khan will be on it I reckon and possibly a British heavyweight (Williams, Harrison, Sprott).

    Who cares anyway the main event should be worth the entrance fee alone.

    Has all the makings of an absolute classic. I'll get shot for saying this here, but I prefer Maccarinelli as a fighter to Haye. Don't get me wrong, Haye's a very, very good fighter. I just think Maccarinelli is an absolute class act - one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world (no exaggeration). He doesn't get the respect he deserves (especially from the poxy yanks) and often lives in Calzaghe's shadow, but I love the way he fights. He has all the heart you want from a British fighter and is also technically excellent and very heavy handed. Haye is awesomely entertaining, but he is very raw, his defence is pants and I worry about him going long distances in fights with someone who punches as hard, as consistently and as accurately as Maccarinelli.

    I'm having a tenner on a Maccarinelli stoppage in eight.

    Whatever happens it will be ****ing awesome

    I've got my ticket for this as well.

    I was seriously tempted by the Hopkins, Calzaghe fight seeing the tension at the Hatton weigh in but i think two Vegas fight nights in 5 months is a little bit too much!
  • RothkoRothko
    How much have you guys paid? £60 is at the back of the top tier isn't it?
  • WSSWSS
    I paid £87, which i was told was back of the lower tier but i didnt book them.

    Carter, we've got an all dayer in store for that - PNE at home on the same day...

    From a distance the one with curly hair looked a lot better.

    Ahahaha, still can't believe carlsberg pulled the mother/daughter combo that FOD wanted.

    Fun times.

    currently 2.52 (a shade over 6/4) with betfair. with the 5% betfair commision if you put your £300 on with them you will still be 60 odd quid better off.
    you may even get a 'free bet' deal if you become a new customer.
  • nollynolly
    being using coral,might put a lump on betfair,cheers paul!
  • CarterCarter
    Bump this up to see if anyones views have changed following the antics this afternoon or indeed just nearing te fight
  • nollynolly
    he didnt fancy the face off

    I'm going to be a Haye fan Saturday. London boy, has a very good chance of dominating the heavyweight division and has had some exciting bouts. Not to say Enzo hasn't but he's a Welshie isn't he!!

    Enzo in my opinion is the better fighter at this weight and perhaps is technically better at spoiling the other fighters gameplan. Either way it is going to be a real ding dong.

    And I hope Kev Mitchell gets the recognition he deserves from the general (as opposed to just the boxing) public, with a big crowd and yanks watching this could be his launchpad

    I have the feeling that Enzo will batter Haye tomorrow night, it'll finish inside 6 rounds.
