[Leg-End]

This one is never going the distance, Barrett's last 5 fights have all seen a KO or TKO and David Haye I think could just about KO anyone out in the world BUT he himself could be knocked out by a 1 armed leper.

Haye in 4 for me.

I want to see Haye get hit.
Just because.

 

[Leg-End]

I want to see Haye get hit.
Just because.

He does have a hitable face, he pulls the most amazing faces when he gets hit too. When Carl Thompson stopped him Haye looked like he was trippin balls and laughing at the same time.

 

[WeWonItTwoTimes]

I'll go for Haye to win by KO in the second round. Worth watching though as there's every chance of Haye also getting knocked out.

 

[Steev]

Great ring entrance by Monte. Barged the camera out the way, ran up to the ring and attempted to vault the ropes only to completely feck it up and land on his arse.

 

[Handjob Bob]

Monte is swinging like a mad man

 

[Steev]

Barrett lucky to survive that round (3). Saved by the bell.

 

[KeyserSoze]

The difference in speed between these two is huge.

Barrett is just swinging and is wide open mostly.

He was lucky to get to the next round.

 

[Handjob Bob]

This is how heavyweight boxing should be - not the hug-fest you normally get.

 

[Steev]

Barrett lucky to survive that round (3). Saved by the bell.

Change the 3 to a 4.

 

[Steev]

Booooo!!

Monte smacks Haye when Haye is on his arse.

Point deducted I think.

 

[Steev]

All over. Haye wins.

Barrett was slow as feck. Haye was a league above this guy.

 

[Handjob Bob]

That was entertaining

 

[KeyserSoze]

It is all over, knocked down for the fifth time in the fifth round.

That was poor by Barrett hitting him when he slipped on the floor, can't feel sorry for him.

 

[Don16]

I enjoyed that. I cant wait to see him get Wlad or Vitali.

 

[Leg-End]

I've seen faster slugs, feck me.

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

Was totally comfortable, although he did get a touch reckless at times which he'll need to tone down [although it's part of his style too so not too much i'd imagine].

Next time Haye would fill the O2, that'd be 20,000+ Might be able to go and cheer on a fellow London lad.

He's really gonna shake things up in the heavyweight division. Done deal on a title fight, just a question f which Klitschko .

He looked massive and he dealt with the rough house stuff and mauling well. I agree about the recklessness although its one of the reasons he's so exciting to watch - that nagging fear he's going to get caught with a punch himself because his hands are held low.

Looked in the post fight interview that it was Vitali who is planning to fight him. Bad news for Haye - his style matches up better against the tentative and weak chinned Wladimar imo. Haye is far faster and has a better range of punches than Vitali, but Vitali is very resilient and with his reach he's bound to catch up with Haye sooner or later if Haye can't stop him.
