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.

UFC Randy Couture Vs Brock Lesnar

Randy Couture Vs Brock Lesnar UFC

So many people are saying Brock Lesnar will destroy Randy Couture. But let's not forget, Brock Lesnar doesn't have that much experience with the UFC and real fighting.

Brock Lesnar is a super strong guy no doubt, but Randy Couture has a lot of experience and is very good at his all round fight game. I think this fight will be interesting if it goes to the ground (which im sure it will at some point), there both superb wrestlers and both Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture have excellent take downs. I think this fight is a 65% to 35% in Randy Coutures favor. Just because of the experience advantage. I think it matters what type of fight Randy Couture makes it.

Brock Lesnar is such a strong guy, if he can get past the first and second rounds, he has a good chance of winning-but you can never right off one of the best UFC fighters ever! Randy Couture! I think Randy Couture will win..Let's see what happens , May the best man win.

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.

Joe Calzaghe, The best European Fighter?

Is Joe Calzaghe the best European Fighter?

I think Joe Calzaghe probably is the best European fighter, what other boxer in recent years has acheived what Joe has?

Will Joe Calzaghe now retire after beating two legends, Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones. I hope the temptation to keep on fighting isn't too much. Being 46-0 and undefeated in 18 years!This is a great record and i think he should retire and keep that superb record intact.

Joe Calzaghe is now in the record books with the all time greats, being one of a handful of boxers to retire undefeated. That's IF he retires now. He has nothing more to prove and i think no matter who he fight and beats, the American press will always have some angle to make the win look less of a victory then it was, something like, the fighter was too old, or too green etc.

Joe Calzaghe is not superman and if he keeps on fighting he will lose. Age catches up with everyone.
