Maccarinelli: Haye will beat Wladimir on Saturday
June 29th, 2011
By Eric Thomas: Former World Boxing Organization (WBO) cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli (32-5, 25 KO’s) thinks WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KOs) can beat IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) on Saturday night because of his the game plan that his trainer Adam Booth will have put together to beat the bigger Klitschko.
However, Haye closed the distance and badly hurt Maccarinelli with a big right hand in the 2nd round. Once Haye had Maccarinelli hurt, he opened up with a highlight reel flurry that knocked Maccarinelli down. The fight was halted quickly with Haye awarded the 2nd round KO win.
Maccarinelli said this to talksport.com: “Adam Booth is a tactical master and I think he will come up with a game plan [for Haye to beat Klitschko]. He locks himself in rooms for hours and hours studying tapes to make sure everything is right and I think David’s chances are very high…Wladimir is one of the best heavyweights in the world, but he’s never fought anyone that throws punches at angles David will…David has to jump on him early.”
Maccarinelli, like a lot of people, is saying that Haye has to get to Wladimir early if he wants to win the fight. Maccarinelli feels that Haye will have problems with Wladimir’s powerful jab unless he can take him out before Wladimir gets settled and starts jabbing Haye to pieces in a methodical manner the way Wladimir generally does most of his opponents.

I like Enzo but he would have to say that wouldn’t he after all it makes him look as if he got beaten by a worthy champ.
i WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH ENZOS INABILITY TO RETURN FIRE.
I can’t believe you’re comparing maccarenillallia to vlad
Haye beat Vlad the Impaler, I think Macc has been hit on the head once too often.
Actually wouldnt Adam booth have to check on hand wrapps? i dont think vitali could enter at such short notice,
@Judas, are you saying what i think your saying?
I have a feeling when its time for klitschko to enter the ring, it will be Vitali who enters!! would this be aloud though?? I have this strong feeling that Vitali will be dressed ready to fight haye.
Haye will be too scared to come near Wladimir. His plan A, B etc are based on survival. This means he will run like his favorite punch the rabbit.
HAYE MUST HAVE THREATENED HIM.
Pure punch drunk slob, Why the heck did he drop down to Light Heavy did he feel he couldnt compete with guys his own size?
Enzo is showing he still is badly affected by blurred thinking and incongruity saying things that have little in common with rationality. Too many head shots or is it something in the water?
Haye is going to terrorize Klitschko, Klitschko will be in panic as usually when being hit hard, Haye will knock him down three or four times until Steward will throw the white towel or the ref. stops the fight by TKO
he even said himself he trash talks to get his fight reconised wlad doest need to cos him and his bro have been ruling the hw since 2004
haye is to small he has a weak chin at cruiserwieght never mind hw wlad has well more exsprience wlad win in the 7th hes entering last becos hes champ haye has fought bums at hw he faked a injury in 09 he dident want a very early retirment wlad is relaxed as usaul haye will crumble
I am really worried about this one. Why do you think Wlad insited on Haye entering the ring first. I get the feeling it was to make sure that when Vitali shows up instead of him, that Haye is in public view and cannot change his mind…Its a definate worry.
