To be fair Barrett had already been softened up by his ring entrance. ;D

Tough one to call. Any tough heaVY WHO CAn take David's shots will pose a problem, while Eddie may not be that type of fighter while also being small I think he has the defence and composure to get to the late rounds and, as Lyle says, maybe a couple of those crisp counters will be enough on the tiring Haye.
I don't think Haye will gas at heavy the way he did against Thompson at Cruiser. I honestly think he is a natural HW and he was going through hell to make 200lbs and I think the limit was actually 190lbs when he suffered that devastating defeat. I only see a vicious KO win for Haye in this fight and I hope this fight happens more than the Vitali one for Haye, as I think it is much needed experience at the weight against a world level opponent and it would fire Haye up the rankings especially with the WBO so he can target Wlad who I think he has a far better chance against than the older brother.
I think David's style makes for gassing out, he's always moving quite a bit, he's loading up on his punches, he has piss poor defense and I don't care who you are getting hit takes stamina out of you....Eddie is a very consistent fighter and solid on defense ergo he has little trouble taking guys like Dimitrenko, Sam Peter, Povetkin, Calvin Brock, and Dominick Guinn the distance....I highly doubt David Haye could beat all of those guys much less last 10-12 rounds with them.
I think Guinn would be shockingly difficult for Haye, the guy has a hell of a chin and he's got solid power (when he uses it).
When you compare resumes David Haye might have been "World Champion" but hands down Eddie Chambers has the more impressive resume...I'm, begining to change my own mind about a Chambers-Haye match....suddenly I can see Haye looking confused, not knowing how to attack this guy who covers up like a turtle leaving no openings and then when Haye does throw his wild bombs he gets countered harshly and perhaps dropped on his ass (leaving him incapable of speaking)
