BS. Haye was off-balance and Barrett punched him to the floor. Haye was in no way hurt but a knockdown is a knockdown. The Haye knockdown was as good or bad as the Ottke knockdown (which was also ruled a push) in the Reid fight. Hometown advantage goes a long way.
1. Valuev was able to hit all of his prior opponents, including Barrett. 2. Haye was hit by many of his previous opponents (except for Macca ) Valuev will hit Haye, there is no question about it. The only question is how well Haye is going to deal with it.
