    Barrett will KO Haye....

    ....If Haye can't get him out of there within 8. Personally I think Haye will KO him in the early rounds, but if Barrett can get it into the late rounds where Haye will be less mobile and possibly gassed there will be an upset. From what I've seen Barrett's defense is lacking. He wings power shots with both hands down, and Haye is mobile enough to angle away and unload on his chin. IMO Barrett should use whatever boxing skills he has to weather the early and middle rounds and test Haye's stamina and chin late. Thoughts?

    It could be interesting. If Barrett survives the onslaught in the early rounds, Haye may gas and get knocked out.

      Haye doesn't plan on going to the later rounds and he probably wont, Haye should have fun with his reach advantage on Barrett.

      Barrett is a good little fighter but i recon Haye inside 6.

        They have a similar reach, my bad.

        I had the impression Haye was taller than Barret ... think thats cause the last time i saw him he was in with Fields .

          Haye is not going to be fighting a Carl Thompson type fight he learned his lesson a long time ago,he will box and find his rythm

            Physically they're about the same. Both about 6'3" and 78" reaches, and they'll both probably come in between 220-230. Haye obviously is the better athlete though.

              I think it ends early with a KO in the first round or 2

              I just am not 100% sure on who is going to be KO'd as they both could get taken out the first big punch that lands.

                Age will be a factor, Barrett is 37.

                Then again, Vitali looked great at age 37 a couple of weeks ago.
