He'll need his nerve, though it's Mormeck who might have to be careful early. Those early rounds HAVE to be Haye's best chance,
Got to agree with every part of your post.
I really want to see Haye win - it would be fantastic.

Gavin Rees is promoted by allegedly allegedly allegedly is he not?
That's right, NorthEast. And, really, Rees is only a light-hitting super-feather, so eff knows how he beat M'Baye. Rees has been strangely inactive since, with nothing lined up, as far as I can see on BoxRec. I said at the time I thought he'd be keeping that belt warm for Khan who could say he can't make 135 anymore. That's the only way Khan could fulfil his ambition of winning a world title at 21, as he'd have no chance against the lightweight titlists.
Enzo seems well pleased with his mismatch. Someone should wipe the grin off by pointing out that Haye is going for the number one unified position in the division. Enzo seemed a bit smug saying Arthur Williams was too old
Flip me. LaMontagne, Gunn, Heinichen, Bugaj, Morais, Azzaoui The list of shame indeed.
Getting a little nervy now. When there's distance between a fight it's easy to be confident, but now the night has come you can't help but appreciate the magnitude of Haye's task.

Haye is a confident type, so maybe he can come out like and express train and catch Mormeck napping. He made a brilliant start in his last big test, Thompson, and it was unreal the way Carl hung in there to survive that.

Yep. Try fast-forwarding to December 8th...
I'm not confident about the Hatton fight at all. I can't see how he'll cut Mayweather off enough to land the meaningful body punches. Mayweather is too good on the counter and will refuse to stand toe to toe with Ricky. He'll run and counter his way to a UD.

they even seem to be talking haye down, patronising the guy.why do they not hype anyone who's not welsh at setanta?
Enzo is acting a bit like a spoilt child tonight with his sniping comments. Woods kissed Calzaghe's arse the other night but Enzo isn't conforming to that standard :P
I'm concerned that Haye will start slow, trying to be too calm and loose, then before he knows it he's struggling with the distance, with no KO opportunity looming.
Haye has massive height and reach advantages on Mormeck. Buncey is actually doing a good job of countering Enzo's bullshit with a bit of positive input.

i like it when Bunce says about Haye's big power & chin, stamina issues then turns it back on Enzo saying that's how ppl class Enzo. That got the big Welshman.
The list of shame indeed.
