DAVID HAYE v MONTE BARRET - Official

[Tam Seddon]

Cmon the guys only win in his last 9 fights is knocking out Barrett.

and it shows the state of mind he must of been in losing to a fight of that calibre. It was a one off though, its nothing to worry about. Barrett knows that and thats why he settled the score in the rematch

And cmon again,the only fight he's won recently against a fighter with a decent record was Tye Fields who had his record inflated by never fighting anything but tomato cans
Monte's record in his last 6 fights is 3-3
Not exactly a prime Tyson or Lewis is it?
Like I said,dont get too hyped about this,this is a testing the waters fight,and in all honesty I think its a good idea to do it that way.

but loosing two fights on the trot can effect a fight mentally and i believe that he was in a negative state of mind going into that fight. again as i said it was a one off fight and he proved that in the rematch didnt he ? Tye fields was still working up the ranks and to get a big guy like him out in the first round was good for Barrett, a real good confidence booster IMO. He struggles against bigger fighters ie wlad and valuev, he lost to rahman due to the fact he was his mate and couldnt really get skyed for the fight. he lost to whittaker and mesi in close fights. couser is the only fight that he shouldnt have lost at all, but he wronged that loss and hes back on track now.

hes got bottle stepping in with haye on his home ground and i respect that.
