Haye was NOT knocked down [Gif]

[Salty]

To me it looks like his forearm hit the forehead of Haye which knocked him down. A better reach would have done nothing, he just tried to duck under a punch when he was not even close to balanced and as a result got clipped/knocked back while doing it.

People thought it was a legit knock down?!...

Barrett should have been disqualified for that. Haye seemed a bit groggy when he got up.. ultimately it led to Barrett's demise.

Yep, Haye was pretty much set on the ground when Barrett decided to make that swing. Lucky to get away with a point deduction.

Yeah, Haye's hands were behind his back on the canvas.. you see fighters hit when down all the time but some are much worse than others.. that was a blatant cheat.

This is coming from someone who hope haye does well but he wont beat the klitschkos but anyway back to what i was going to say. If you say he should of been dqed for that then Barrett should of won Because haye did that to him on an earlier knock down in the corner, hit him when he was clearly on the ground.

Fair enough.. what knockdown was it? (i can't remember)

It can't be as blatant as this one. This was a Roy-Griffin job.

Im not sure which one it was, he went down in the corner and barrett was down and i think he got with another left hand. I saw it on the replay of the knockdown, it wasnt as blatant but still hitting someone when there down still isnt good no matter how blatant it is. Still just goes to show even with that cheap shot, barrett still couldnt hurt haye.

[ross]

Oh Haye was hurt, he took a knee after getting up from that shot as well!!

Steve Bunce is an idiot, he tells bare faced blatant lies, after the fight he was trying to make us belive that Barrett was quick

Haye doesnt know how to avoid being hit and any heavy with a bit of speed will clip him, they dont even have to be a big hitter, Haye is there for the taking, Barrett has gone down tons of times and was sparked in 2 last year by cliff couser, big deal, does Haye take anotehr heavy fight or sit around waiting for his chance?

I think he may be a little put off after feeling some strength and a very little bit of power

Haye should fight Skelton, hes up in the rankings.

I'm not complaining about it....Haye talked enough shit to deserve being treated like that, especially if he thinks winning vs Monte means anything.

The knockdown/slip doesn't matter, what matters is that Monte Barrett was able to connect in the fight with some wild power punches without using angles or footwork...that does not bode well for Haye as the BEST heavyweights control the ring using size, agility, and accurate power punches which would keep Haye out of the fight bar his "Hayemakers" which when he misses leave him wide open.

I want to see how Haye does vs the next level of competition before I really consider his chances vs the title holders

[bikersk]

Both guys threw shots that i'm sure i've seen guys dq'd for this year. But i'm glad no-one was. they were trying hard and there was some rough stuff going on but FFS it's a heavyweight fight!!! The right guy won in the end so thankfully the ref didn't make that decision for us. Or make the wrong one for us.

That really is juvenile mate. If Barrett was the one sitting on the canvas with his hands behind his back, and Haye was doing the hitting, i would have said Haye deserves to be disqualified.

I didn't see Barrett connect with hardly anything let alone "wild power punches".. if he did Haye would have been knocked out.

[El Kabong]

Whatever, it's not like Haye got injured by Monte's punching him while he was down. I don't blame him for doing throwing the punch though...it's not the first or last time it will happen and not all times were penalized or DQ'd. Marciano vs Walcott was one of them and that happened when Joe was out cold and being held up by the ropes alone.


Barrett doesn't have big time power he did connect at times and as I said without angles or anything. The only punch that hurt Haye was the one where Haye was already down.

loooks like the haye haters were out in their numbers and were clutching at straws
