Coming In 2009: David Haye vs Goliath I & II

Coming In 2009: David Haye vs Goliath I & II

After demolishing Monte Barrett in 5 Rounds David Haye talks about taking on the Klitschko brothers in 2009.

I think the Klitschko's will be a much harder nights work then what Monte Barrett was. David Haye will have his work cut out. The Klitschko style may be boring but it is very effective. I get the feeling David Haye would lose to the Klitschko brothers, i hope im wrong. For what David Haye lacks in defence, he more then makes up for with power, so he stands a change against any of the decent heavyweights out there.

But let's not forget this is the heavyweight division and one punch can change any fight. I think Vitali Klitschko would be too much for David Haye, he can take some serious punishment, like he showed in the Lennox Lewis fight, and can take David Haye into the later rounds, where David Haye is not comfortable and lacks stamina. That could be interesting.

Vitali Klitschko can see holes in David Hayes fight game and i think he wants to get there first to take advantage of them holes.

David Haye Knocks Out Monte Barrett In Round 5

David Haye Knocks Out Monte Barrett In Round 5

Well, Monte Barrett gets knocked out in round 5 after being knocked down in earlier rounds numerous times.

Monte Barrett looked very slow on his feet and was swinging wildly. But he deserves a lot of credit as he showed a lot of heart, he stood in there for longer then many expected. Monte Barrett showed great heart and give it his best shot, which was no where near enough to beat David Haye.

I think David Haye looked pretty tired and should work on his defense, he seemed quite open to punches. David Haye still hasn't been tested punch wise, so the question still looms, can David Haye take heavyweight punches? Time will tell.

In my opinion, if Monte Barrett could of gone for a few more rounds he could of give David Haye some trouble as David Haye seemed to tire quickly.

The main thing for David Haye is getting the win, and winning in style, and he did do that. So it's on to the next step for David Haye on his Heavyweight Champion chip dream.

David Haye Vs Monte Barrett Weigh-In

David Haye Vs Monte Barrett Weigh-in

Well then, not long to wait now for David Haye Vs Monte Barrett.

David Haye Vs Monte Barrett is live on setanta tommorrow night (Saturday 15th November)

Both fighters looked in superb shape at the weigh-in, no insults were traded, and there was no trouble. After a lengthy stare down, they both went their seperate ways, looking forward to the fight.

It Should be a good fight. There has been some bad blood regarding food expenses and the space in Monte Barretts hotel room etc, so hopefully he's angry and will put on a good show. I hope all his moaning isn't because he's scared he might lose so he's making some excuses early.. Only time will tell.

David Haye vs Monte Barrett

David Haye vs Monte Barrett -15th November 2008

Has David Haye bitten off more then he can chew?

Monte Barrett is definately the gate keeper of the heavyweight division and i think he could give David Haye alot of trouble. The thing with Monte Barrett is, it depends which Monte Barrett turns up on fight night. He could turn up and just get knocked out straight away, or he could either give David Haye the hardest 12 rounds of his career or even knock David Haye out in the first round. That's how unpredictable he is. One thing is for sure, he is no push over.

David Haye vs Monte Barrett should be an exciting fight. David Haye has a suspect chin at lower weight classes, so at heavyweight he could be in serious trouble. David Haye says he will be too fast for the heavyweights but i think at some point in a 12 round fight you will get caught with a shot somewhere in the night, the question is what will happen when he does get caught with a flush punch.

To be honest, i hope David Haye wins, and i think he has the ability to do so.

In the final press conference Monte Barrett is not happy and says David Haye and his team are doing petty things to throw him off his game, such as a small hotel room, small amount of money for food each day etc.

With all this bad talk, it makes the fight more exciting. David Haye has talked the talk and has a lot to live up to. Let's see if he can produce the goods.

Goodluck Mr. Haye.
