I don't view Haye as some kind of up and coming super Champ in the Heavy division. I've seen enough of him , and good as he is , I've seen flaws. Let's not kid, he's no sugar ray leonard or Ali, nowhere near.FLINT ISLAND wrote:Ola would only beat him that one time out of a million - shows Enzo got the confidence and heart for a rematch
You didnt see Amir Khan dieing to get back in there straight away with Bedis Prescott
Enzo loves to fight - he would take a Ola rematch no doubt - I still think he got the heart to fight Haye again too if he ever got the chance to do better that the first fight
In fact a half decent Frank Bruno would spank "the granny" out of David Haye IMO. The Granny being the new Boxrec phrase these days
But yet, I feel David Haye is a bit too big and possessing of power to be defeated by Enzo Mac (I had Enzo to cruise to victory in their fight).
As regards the comment Afolabi would only beat Enzo one in a million times. Simply not true.
I was present and Afolabi was at no point bothered by Big Mac's punches. You can't fake that level of nonchalance, the shimmying of the shoulders, he was practically interacting with sections of my part of the crowd while Enzo had him on the ropes, he was looking at us and shaking his head to the point he had us laughing.
I personally felt mind you that he was riding his luck and would surely sooner or later catch a fat right hand right on the button. Even then though you felt it would only serve as a wake up call rather than lights out. Some shots were missing him by whiskers, which isn't much , especially at cruiserweight and especially when you are leaning over the top rope and a foot outside the ring.
At a couple of points, Ola's back toward me, Enzo would fire off a volley of shots to head and body, but to little effect. As he was facing me you could see him clearly shrug almost, as if to say...what now??
So basically when you throw everything you have at a man and to no avail, whether you're winning or not, saying the other guy had a one in a million shot just doesn't sum it up. That said I was just as surprised as anyone when the end came, cos whereas Afolabi wasn't getting hurt (or at least showing that he was) at the same time, he wasn't doing ANYTHING to suggest he was trying to win the fight. I started to become disillusioned thinking what a load of crap, this guy has been brought in and he's not remotely capable of defeating the much better conditioned athlete.
Note, yes, Enzo looked fcked at the end. But he had worked. Afolabi looked fcked after 5 or 6 rounds and he was doing fck all.
Then bang. The rest's history.
Not a very good fight for the most part, but the finish was pure drama.
