What Haye is up against
I hope afolabi is exaggerating about Klits power. I mean he says he felt like he was having a stroke! That's with the headgear on... eek

Seems a bit inaccurate.
Didnt Afalobi score a particularly heavy KO over Maccarinelli?
Also if Afalobi or Haye are 6'5 then Wlad is 7 foot.

Re: What Haye is up against
Hayes punches aren't known to tickle either though, I doubt hearing that the world champion can hit hard and has a good jab will come as too much of a shock...

Re: What Haye is up against
true but the stroke comment does bring it home. Haye can still smash him

Re: What Haye is up against
Did he mean a stroke as in 'oh dear, I can't raise my left hand or smile properly' or 'ding DONG, you little filly'?

Points win I believe, but Enzo was never the same since Haye KO'd him.

No, Enzo was eventually KO'd after gassing worse that Gavin Rees and Mosley combined. Think it was as much exhaustion as the punch. Big Macc took some big shots but none of them scrambled his senses like the KD Haye inflicted on him

Sparring partners always big up their employers...I mean Dirrell bigged up Groves.....Witherspoon bigged up Ali before Holmes!!!!
It's what happens..Vlad wins he can bag $2000++ a week for more sparring..

Dirrell bigged up Groves with good reason it seems! To be fair, Groves was complimetary about Dirrell too saying "Andre Dirrell is the fighter James DeGale wishes he could be"

Re: What Haye is up against
Doesnt matter that he was gassed, he was still suffered a heavy KO. The article suggests that Afolabi won on points, and that he and Haye are 6'5. Doesnt seem altogether reliable even if the quotes are genuine.

Enzo's never lost on points I don't think...so at least he has THAT claim to fame...

Just highlighting that the article above is wrong on it. The guy who wrote it doesnt seemed very clued in to boxing. Haye and Afolabi 6'5 aswell?? Harrison was 6'5 and there was an easy 2/3 inches difference in height between him and Haye. Afolabi is probably only 6'2/6'3 himself.

Afolabi KTFO enzo in rd 9, I thought he looked a decent fighter but he's nit dine that much since. Sparring partners always say these kind of things about the guy paying their wages, it's nothing haye wasn't already aware of and I'm sure he'll pay little heed to it. Also, Afolabi is nowhere near as quick, explosive or powerful as haye and doesn't use the same style - not sure why wlads using him as a sparring partner.

Afolabi isn't just a sparring partner. Same promoter and has been fighting on loads of Wlad/Vitali undercards. All praise from him is probably as biased as can be.
He was also used as a sparring partner to emulate Chisora when that fight was still on. Apparently he was giving Wlad fits with his movement and made him look bad. That's what I remember reading at least.

Was Enzo ever any good? I always viewed him as being fairly well protected up until he met Haye.
He had already been sparked out by Lee Swaby, a guy Tyson Fury battered in his 4th pro fight.

about 4-6 months ago on one of the many boxing news sites out there. If I find it I'll give the link.

Re: What Haye is up against
Someone has mentioned on east side boxing that:
According to Barry McGuigan, Afolabi has been giving Wladimir Klitschko"absolute nightmares in sparring".
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=297436&page=16
If Barry made the comments on TV or in his column, then that's probably where I heard/read them. I just assumed that it was an online news site, because the memory of seeing is was a little hazy.
Also, I guess it was only 2 months ago instead of 4-6!

I think it was 'back in the studio' comments made on the Solis/Vitali card , after Afolabi's undercard match (which he'd won).
