    ...for not picking up the Haye fight. That was a damn entertaining fight and the networks where the real losers tonight. If I had to take a stab in the dark I'd say both HBO and Showtime don't think Haye's a big deal. They'd rather air fights between giants with limited talent and fat old guys whose work rate could be outpaced by a corpse. I know that Haye didn't help by taking so long to get an opponent but I thought the networks where stupid for not picking this fight up...now I know they were.

    That was slop bucket boxing at its finest. That was some wild untamed ****. Mildly entertaining. This is boxing. Two dudes just flinging wild shots is kind of UFCish.

    You get Setanta in Australia? Didn't know that!
    I love it, get it free with the tv package i'm subscribed to and we've had Cotto vs Margarito, Pavlik vs Hopkins, Calzaghe vs Hopkins, Calzaghe vs Kessler, Calzaghe vs Jones, Haye vs Barrett, Klitschko vs Peter, Pacquiao vs Diaz and a whole load more........ all at no extra cost :good

    All I saw was too C- level club fighters fighting a sloppy ass slugfest.

    Haye's a better fighter than that, I know, but he didn't show it today. Barrett looked like absolute ****.
