Well the Haye-Maccarinelli fight was a bit of a let down in that it ended so soon.Enzo looked far too nervous and he just didn't stick to the things he does well, when you let your guard down against someone like Haye you will pay for it.Haye was simply too fast and too strong on the night.I look forward to his assault on the heavyweight division now, he's certainly going to bring excitement.
Speaking of the heavyweights, John Ruiz got a boring decision win over McCline and Samuel Peter took out Oleg Maskaev in 6 rounds.I'd fancy Haye to beat any of those guys.
Castillo vs Bradley didn't go ahead due to Castillo not making the weight, he wouldn't be strong enough at 147 and seeing as he cannot make 140 he ought to retire.
I was hugely surprised at Juan Diaz losing to Nate Campbell.I've not seen the fight yet but I thought Diaz would be far too quick for Campbell and that Campbell only had a punchers chance.
Paul Smith looked fairly average against Cello Renda.Smith was too laid back to start with and got tagged far too much,he was behind on points but Buddy McGirt gave him a kick up the backside and he put the pressure on and forced the stoppage.He needs to put his foot on the gas for quicker in future.
Kevin Mitchell vs Carl Johannson was the best fight of the night for me.Mitchell started off so brightly and won the first 3 rounds with ease.Johannson started to come back into it from round 4 and really took over from that point, he almost had Mitchell down in round 6 but Mitchell did well to come back.By the 9th it looked like Johannson had just taken too many punches and Mitchell decked him with a beautiful left hook.Johannson managed to beat the count but was duly finished just seconds later.If Mitchell can avoid getting into scraps and use his excellent boxing ability then he can go far.
