Lets get the ball rolling. Looking forward to this. I think Haye ends Barrets career inside 3 rounds.
I predict Haye by early KO also....Barret is a decent opponent to test the waters, but at this stage I just think Haye is far too much for him. Looking forward to it big time though!
i will go out on a limb and say haye wins by KO in round 1! Plus i am excited by the prospect of vitali talking about the fight with bunce and co. p.s rob that is the best avatar on ESB
David Haye is going to get knocked the **** out. Just not in this fight, and not by Barrett. Seeing as though I supported Jones against Calzaghe, I really should support Haye this time, being a patriotic Brit and all. Why do some boxers have to be such wankers, it makes it really difficult to like them. :verysad
I think that Europeans are actually capable of talking about things in a sensible and rational manner, without resorting to childish behaviour and ranting. Exceptions to this are guys like Shane Mosley and DLH, classic examples are Hopkins, Tarver, Mayweather et al. Haye TKO6 Lacy will be brutally destroyed (again) though I can't decide whether by wide UD or KO. How he has another big fight I have no idea, having beaten neither anyone of note or convincingly since losing to Calzaghe.
I'm actually quite looking forward to Taylor-Lacy, because it's a real 'put up or shut up' crossroads kind of fight...both guys will be desperate to look good and that could lead to an entertaining fight. As for Haye-Barrett, Barrett is no mug and the Couser loss needs to be viewed as the anomoly it is. Normally he's a lot more durable than that. But if Haye is looking to send out a serious message, a stoppage within 4-5 rounds has to be in order. Walking straight into a good shot and losing on the other hand is definitely not, so he can't be an idiot in there.
Im down there, as are Britishboxing reporters Terry Dooley & Emerson Gent. Will be grabbing a few beers and enjoying the evening. must admit IM a little dissapointed by the undercard, but there we go
I think this was a pretty good choice of opponent - and clever, staying out of the clutches of Sports Network as well.
Taylor Lacy's not on TV over here is it? My sense is telling me Haye will have him out within 6 rounds but I have this weird feeling Barretts gonna catch him cold and ko him, i know i know its a mad thought but i just got this feeling
