enzo macca gets my respect

[Diego Morales]

I don't think Enzo was exposed, I think he lost to the best Cruiserweight in the World, someone who has heavyweight power and obviously Haye himself feels he should leave the cruiserweight division. I thought Enzo looked pretty good, caught David Haye a couple of times, just happend to get KTFO!!!!

I'll be honest, i had a lump in my throat when has was trying to straighten up after he got blitzed by the Hayemaker, but he was never going to recover from that onslaught. Huge respect for Enzo, but he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. He was exposed as the ordinary fighter that he is, a WBO champion who was spoon fed easy opponents by Frank Warren. It makes me wonder why any fighter signs up with him?

mate, enzo did not get exposed, it was a fight that placed two great punchers together with below average chins, it was whoever landed the first big shot who would win, haye was the one who landed it first simple as.

Agreed.

Enzo would have won if he connected first. As I said before.. Predictions go out the window when two punchers fight eachother. Haye's eye was bleeding badly after just 1 punch from Enzo.

i think cunningham is a protected fighter i think macca does have a chance tho

Cunningham is a protected fighter? He has fought twice in Poland and once in Germany against hometown favorites. How in the hell is that a protected fighter?

Should be good.

Had Enzo taken a knee after the first shot that nearly put him down, he would have had enough wits about him to get the jab going, and with Hayes eye as busted up as it was it could have been a totally different story.

He gets my respect from that fight with haye,you gota give credit to the guy he tried to get up and seeing him stagger around wanting to stil fight made me think this guys got heart so when haye moves up enzo gettin those title for sure gd luck macca.

Enzo is probably being incredibly hard on himself. I don't think anyone else needs to get on him and I'm sure he wouldn't notice or care. This is a hard game. Enzo has to live with this for the rest of his life. It takes guts to risk that kind of fate.. The nightmare is here. It's all or nothing in this sport.

He didn't pull the trigger. At least he doesn't have to feel the shame of knowing he couldn't have won. He could have, he just didn't act.

Only a small man would lament a fractional split. Milliseconds are milliseconds.

He hit him with three bombs in the 2nd round.

I mean if he went down from the first one, it would have looked a bit silly. Macca is all heart. From the first punch, his chin was hung out to dry. It was a shame, I felt bad for him.

Went out on his shield. Like a man.

He could have tied him up, in the few clinches they were in Enzo was pushing David backwards. Obviously a very strong fella. Maybe Enzo should have got closer, though he was landing jabs. Haye wouldn't be able to put him on the end of a bomb.

I dunno, I think Haye is just the better fighter in reality, though Macca most times does better than he did.

Regarding some of the discussion here; at the moment Haye was connecting with the final right hand he should have been in the neutral corner as the ref was issuing a count to Maccarinelli. That was MASSIVE.

Nobody will ever know exactly how badly Maccarinelli was hurt before that last punch he took. He was COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS and the referee showed GROSS INCOMPETENCE.

Couldn't agree more, I was telling my girl that as we watched the fight, the ref should have stepped in and gave him an 8 count!!!!
