My pre-fight anaylsis

Post by STP »

David Haye only really gets backed up by guys under 6ft tall, pro, amateur and sparring. Guys his height or taller he usually drops down with the rights over, usually early, pro, amateur and sparring. He likes to use athleticism, momentum, leverages, reflexes, etc, as much as possible. He's a naturally powerful lad, plain as.

Enzo drops his left when he throws the right, and drops the left before throwing to the body. David has pretty fast hands for a 16-stoner, and has fought a better level of opposition at both pro and amateur levels. (However, Enzo is probably the best tall guy he's ever been in the ring with. Amateurs are amateurs, pros are much more advanced.)

For Enzo not be blown out in four minutes of boxing or less, he has to command the centre of the ring at all times, keep his fence up at all times, work his jab strongly in the first 25 seconds onwards, hook off the jab whenever the opportunity presents itself, and throw the compact right hand (not the power-laced one) and the compact hooks to the body (not opening up with the powerful ones).

David lacks head movement. David lacks balance. David carries his left hand low at all times. David's defensive shell is poor because it only covers his body. And David fires all sorts of shots flat-footed when he isn't in a position to do so!

Enzo could win this fight if he uses the right tactics and doesn't make many, if any, mistakes.

If Enzo does win, it won't be early, unless David makes enough mistakes!

Wise money would be on David in the first minute of the second round.

Enjoy the fight.

the first minute of the second round....can you be a bit more specific please?.....I mean is that a looping overhand right , a left uppercut or a right hand left hook combination??.....anyone can sit on the fence STP come on :lol:

seriously mate, nice write up - I'll read it properly later :lol: - I have 70 quid now on Enzo to win on points :o :o :o

I don't really care if I lose the lot it just seems too good to pass up at 10 -1 for someone who knows a thing or two about boxing.

It will be the most first minute of the second round, I know these things, I'm scarey with predictions. Always have been.
