Jimbo 175 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Should be a good fight, I like Haye but I'm edging towards Maccarinelli on this one, I think Haye struggles to make the weight at Cruiser and would have been far better doing what he planned on doing which was going up to Heavyweight, Maccarinelli seems far more comfortable at the weight and carries at big punch, and I do question Haye's chin, but Haye is the better boxer of the two, should be a close fight.

Aye, looking forward to it. Although I'll probably fall asleep and ending up watching the lunchtime re-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Putting it on late for the US is shite, you don't see them changing fight times for our benefit!! Granted the audience potential is far greater but ffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico martin 95 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Maccarinelli hasnt really been tested much as he's been knocking every opponent out before they get started! Got support him though as he's a Swansea lad and I often see him dropping his kids off at my kids' school. I always say hello acknowledge him but he hasnt offered me any free tickets yet like!

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 The longer it goes on, the better as far as Maccarinelli is concerned. Haye has had to lose a fair bit of weight which must affect his stamina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Did haye not turn up for the weigh in? He didn't turn up for the press conference, he's also threatening not to turn up for the weigh-in as the time have been changed for america. He says this interferes with his training and sleeping schedules. Frank Warren said if he doesn't turn up for the weigh-in, the fight can't go ahead.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Promoter Frank Warren criticised David Haye for not appearing at the final news conference ahead of Sunday's world title showdown with Enzo Maccarinelli. Haye claimed the resheduled 1230 GMT meeting would interfere with his sleep ahead of an early Sunday morning fight. Maccarinelli travelled from Swansea and Warren said: "It is disrespectful of David and his manager Adam Booth, they have let down the fight and promotion." Haye turned up at 1430 GMT and spoke to the press in The O2 Arena foyer. The Londoner, who is on American time after training in the United States, said he had arrived at the time stipulated in his contract. But Warren added: "David is not that good that he can pick and choose when he turns up. He usually fights in front of 2,000 at York Hall and there will be 20,000 at this fight. "He's in breach of contract, and I've made a complaint already to the Boxing Board of Control. They've got to determine whether there is a breach of contract and what his obligations are. "It's all very mystifying to me. I'm paying him an absolute fortune, and he should show some respect not only to the promotion but to Enzo. He's come down from Wales - and this fellow lives in London." WBC and WBA cruiserweight champion Haye has trained in Miami for Sunday's bout at London's 02 Arena, and has adopted a carefully planned sleep routine. The fight is set to start in the early hours of Sunday morning in Britain, in order to fit in with television schedules in the US. Haye has also questioned Friday's weigh-in time of 1900 GMT, insisting he would stick to the original time of 1600 GMT. "We agreed certain things in the contract, and now they are changing," said Haye. "It's no secret I'm big at the weight, and in an ideal world I'd have the weigh-in as early as possible. But obviously they want to push it back. "His [Maccarilelli's] people are getting desperate. They're worried because they realise I'm in the best shape of my life. "They've been hearing from the gyms that big world-ranked heavyweights have been getting smashed to pieces." The much-hyped bout is the first all-British world title fight since Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank went head-to-head in 1993, and has attracted major media interest. Haye added: "I held my own press meeting on Tuesday. "I met the press at 1530 GMT and it all went as planned. The journalists all understood why it had to be at that time, and some even ran close to deadline because of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
