Its got to be said.........
He was floored and hurt badly by Bruce Scott and recovered.
Then for me he showed horrible flaw in the Mark Hobson fight - jerking his chin back and putting it up in the air.
Hobson hurt him early but Enzo recovered and in a long tough fight his flaws were exposed.
Hobson was not good enough or quick enough or intelligent enough to take advantage.
However against David Haye there was always a high probabilty that Enzo was going to meet a car crash type defeat.
First point - he had gone to Enzo Calzaghe - who it seemed had improved him in all aspects of the game.
However - Enzo Calzaghe camp are rank amateurs - they are jokes - just take a look at Bradley Price and Gavin Rees - both talented fighters - but they have a very lacking mentality that is the Camp Calzaghe trademark.
Joe Calzaghe the trainers son is the obvious exception - but the rest of them all suffered from a very amateur set up.
Nathan Cleverly had enough professionalism about him and took himself and his career serious enough to bail out of the Calzaghe Camp before they all lost their way.
Enzo Maccarenille was preparing for the David Haye fight by running up some steps - and sparring with Bradley Price !!!!!
What a joke !!!!!
How can you prepare from a big huge power puncher Crusierweight in David Haye by Sparring Bradley Price.
And I bet Enzo only got to spar Price if he bothered to turn up for training that day - on other days he was probaly football training or palying his X Box or something.
Maccarenelli had no proper sparring with a decent pro Crusierweight / Heavyweight
He also done a bit of pad work and shadow boxing and hit the punch bag.
But sparring is most important - espcially when facing a power puncher like Haye.
Silly preparation for a WBO / WBC / WBA World Crusierweight title fight.
He had also never been shown how to defend himself in all his years of boxing.
Enzo Calzaghe never showed him nothing about defense.
Then in the fight with Haye he dropped his hand and jerked his chin in the air - that same horrible flaw.
Haye launched his big right hand - BINGO !!!! - nails Enzo - Enzo goes down
But here is the point Enzo also shows his stupidness and lack of experience.....................
Even though he touched down - pridefully he pulled himself back up on the ropes -
Haye was then able to launch more volley of punchs
Enzo tried to hug Haye during this assault insteand of geeting his hands up (never been shown how to defend himself)
Last punch that drop him - clean on Enzos chin - he didnt even have his hands up
Then instead of taking a knee to recover - got straight back up - (pride again - instead of being smart)
Staggered across the ring like a drunk to speak to the referee - (inexperience - what business had he walking to the centre of the ring to have a conversation with the ref - he should have stayed in his corner and recovered)
Then he staggered back to his corner - and tried to speak to the ref again
The the ref asked him to raise his hands and he couldnt raise them up........................
I'm sorry but it was a car crash defeat.............
His inexperience and non existent defence were brutally exposed................
Enzo Maccarnelli was a car crash waiting to happen..................................
