Haye was NOT knocked down [Gif]

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

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

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.

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.
