< David Haye vs. Monte Barrett > It's go time... Let's talk it out.

I thought Haye fought well.

He made Barrett miss alot and look slow - and Barrett isn't a bad mover for a Heavyweight. He slipped alot of jabs and evaded shots when Barrett was swinging desperatly.
Yeh he got caught bt one or two -but its a boxing match thats supposed to happen and he took the shots well - even flush when he was on the floor.

Hayes power is there he floored barrett 5 times without really catching him flush until the last Knockdown.

Hayes reflexes, hand and foot speed were superb and he has great accuracy.

Barrett wanted to win - he just couldn't.

Exciting and entertaining fight and you don't get many of those at Heavyweight these days.

I give credit to were it is do. Haye looked good tonight. I just can't understand some of the Brit's just kept rambling on " Is that all you Americans have" on the website I was watching. I mean come on let's be honest Haye should have beaten Barrett and had nothing land on him not even that jab Barrett suprisingly hit him with. At this time I would like him to fight Arreola and if it's not to dangerous for the Haye crew put the old Tua-nator in there. A fighter I think will beat Haye after that performance is James Toney. You could see Barrett trying to roll with the right hand and come back with his own the only thing is he forgot about Haye's left hook.Toney IMO slips,rolls and counter's with right hands all night long.

Good victory for Haye but he should try using what he had at crusier which was alot speed with that pop. Stop looking for the lefthook,right hand combo.After that I say he has no chance against Klitschko but let's see what he has in his next bout.

Beating Monte is no big deal. Had he struggleg aanst him, that would have been a big deal. Haye met the expectations against a fading guy who got iced by a guy named Cliff Couser whom Haye would ice with bad breath.
