Haye 6'1? Don't be ridiculous, he looks like he's about 6'4.Comment

I agree with that point. After the first 30 seconds, it was clear that the fight was a mismatch.I thought that was gonna be a good fight.
But it was CLEAR after only a few minutes, that Macc was not on Hayes level and would not go more then 3 or 4 rounds.
Haye is much much better.
I cant wait to see what Haye can do at heavyweight, it is really intruiging. Hed be outsized and outgunned, i hope he can make a splash though
Mac only had a punchers chance. You could see that Haye was the bigger puncher, had the faster hands, had the swifter feet, better reactions, was a smarter fighter, and was the better counter-puncher.
Being the first time I had seen either of these guys fight, I was surprised by the hype around this fight.
Haye was clearly 2 cuts above Mac skill wise, and perhaps even the harder puncher.Comment

Well, boxrec.com has him listed at 6'3", an inch taller than Sam Peter. So I don't think size or ability would be much of a problem.nooo, really? 6'4"??? no way. i was thinkin maybe 6-1
Anyway, i was mainly talking about klitschko. How he would fair in that fight is intruiging to me. How he could possible get past that jab and do something effective is difficult
Unless we're talking about Klitschko. It seems to me that the last thing you'd want to do when facing Wladimir Klitschko's right hand is keep your left hand low and your chin out, both of which Haye tends to do. Add the jab in there, and you've probably got a T/KO defeat for Haye.
But Haye would probably have a pretty good shot against most of the other heavyweightss out there right now, so he may as well move up.Comment

Nah. Everybody knew what to expect, someone was getting knocked the **** out before too much else significant had been landed. A dramatic KO, an absolute treat of a brawl on the under, no complaints here, totally made up.
Yep, yep. Cannae wait to see him force some of those slobs at heavy into doing some work, even if his efforts only prove noble failures.Comment

In terms of confidence and seizing the moment, no, Maccarinelli was no where near Haye's level.. That's for damn sure.I thought that was gonna be a good fight.

One guy froze up and one guy didn't, that's what I saw for the most part..
I was impressed with how Haye gobbled up the challenge. I have only seen a handful of Maccarinelli's fights, but I thought he might be in serious trouble at the staredown. His eyes were wild and bulging and Haye's were calm and determined. Look at Mac's eyes in the staredowns of previous fights. He had the calm and determined look - like Haye's tonight.
Of course Mac clipped Haye with that hook early on.. It could have been the legs getting crossed a bit, but for the most part he appeared overtly tense and possibly even slightly confused. Again, I'll go back to what I said before the fight; I don't think tooling with his style was nescessary or beneficial. While he was thinking Haye as punching, and I know where the thinking comes from.. Tooling, tinkering, ect..Last edited by Addison; 03-09-2008, 04:46 AM.Comment
