Seems like some needle is being injected into this fight at last... "Promoter Frank Warren criticised David Haye for not appearing at the final news conference ahead of Sunday's world title showdown with Enzo Maccarinelli. Haye claimed the resheduled [sic] 1230 GMT meeting would interfere with his sleep ahead of an early Sunday morning fight. Maccarinelli travelled from Swansea and Warren said: "It is disrespectful of David and his manager Adam Booth, they have let down the fight and promotion." Haye turned up at 1430 GMT and spoke to the press in The O2 Arena foyer... But Warren added: "David is not that good that he can pick and choose when he turns up. He usually fights in front of 2,000 at York Hall and there will be 20,000 at this fight. :: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7280657.stm Weight in at 19.00 (GMT) tonight, btw... opcorn:
I have to admit I've never seen either one of these guy fight. However whenever u can have champion vs champion it can't be bad for boxing. Also I trust the fightbeat posters and may have indicated that this will be a good scrap! Can't wait! I'll Holla 5000
I have to say that I find it a little odd that neither of these guys has had any US exposure, especially Enzo who almost always fights on the undercard of every single Joe Calzaghe fight. This one should be a complete tear-up. We should be in for a treat, I reckon... opcorn:
Like I've been saying, boxing is as exciting as ever. So far 2008 has started off with a bang and it is starting to pick up even more steam. I'll Holla 5000
dsimon writes: Fuck Warren. Haye is doing what he should, preparing for the fight. I travel a lot and it does fuck up your routine. Warren wants to treat his fighters like chattel.
Yeah, I wonder why that is. Oh Enzo is a bum-beating scrub, whose claim to fame is being Lee Swaby´s son. :cheer:
It's NOT Like Haye was Trying to B a PRICK by Failing to Show...THE MOST IMPORTANT Thing is the Fight ITSELF, Not the Presser... It Makes Sense to REED for a Fighter to Acclimate his Body to the Time of Night he'll B Fighting...Warren Should've Had the Presser @ a DIFFERENT Time, if it was THAT Important... If Anybody's the PRICK here, it's Frank Warren...He Could've just Expressed his Disappointment & Left it @ That, as Opposed to Taking SHOTS @ Haye... REED
I also question why is he changing the weigh in time as well? What's up with that bullshit. I'll Holla 5000
But of course. Frank Warren is one of the biggest pricks in the history of boxing. Such an insecure prick in fact, that we had to type Frunk Werren and then he got SecondsOut shut down. What a petty fucking prick :: I hate Werren.
