This will essentially be the first time Haye will fight on live US television. He's a bad dude. I do trades with people in the UK (boxing DVDs) and they send me all the UK up and commers (Haye, Khan, etc).
Now, when this fight was made I was going to go with Haye. The guy is a KO artist.
After reading commentaries of other fighters talking, as well as Haye not doing any promotion for this fight and just not even showing up to press conferences, I kind of want to roll with Maccarinelli (underdog).
It was -180 Haye / +150 Maccarinelli, moved 10 cents after the press conference no show and now its -170 / +140
It's not just that, but its been wierd since the fight was made. Haye just seems nervous. He is used to fighting in front of several thousand, and it is expected that up to 20K people are going to show...plus all the air coverage its going to get.
Maybe he is just extremely focused, who knows.
They both haven't fought top tier, other than Haye beating Mormeck, which is nothing to brush off.
Just going to wait until fight day for this one, see how the weigh ins go.
