The Haye v Barrett Thread (MERGED)

[steve689]

A street life, back from the brink yarn and some moaning about the hotel I was expecting a scuffle or something.

Buncey was talking Barrett up earlier saying he advised Haye not to take him on because of his speed

[Hagler2002]

If Buncey offered me advice I would do exactly the opposite also.

barrett has always fallen short in good class.

haye will deal with him.

i remember barrett speaking out before he fought rahman in a wbc eliminator.

he was on boxingtalk every other day going on about how he was gonna destroy rahman.

then he goes and loses a boring pts decision.

Way off the mark guys - your guesses should be between 215 and 220

But he weighed over 215 fighting at cruiser, didnt he?? 231

[Grilling Machine]

When it comes to potential pre-fight entertainment (the first Benn-Eubank kind), I can only think of two possibilities: Haye-Toney and Calzaghe-Froch.

yeah i laughed at that bit.

one of the reasons i wanted to see this fight was to see him knocked on his arse.

he's always been all mouth and no trousers this guy. :>

[Deserter]

221 lbs.

[Dioufy]

Is the weigh-in live on Setanta?

[BigGar]

245 lbs.

[overhand_right]

236 lb, since some b#stard took 238 lb

[BigGar]

OOPS....

Thought we were putting our own weights down!!

Haye will be 227 lbs.

[overhand_right]

Thems some pretty sweet odds over at Papddy Power for a guy whos likely to start swinging himself when Haye comes at him.

Haye untested and down several times in crusierweight, Barrett a guy who does damage against men who aren't cut out for the heavies... Any takers?

[jamesmcdonnell]

I think he meant untested at heavyweight tezza.....

[overhand_right]

Untested at Crusierweight, are you on crack?.

Yeah, meant untested at HEAVY -- but yes, i am on crack, and its a sensitive subject if you don't mind.

[fatman]

238lbs

[Datsue]

Sixteen-stone four lbs.

[jamesmcdonnell]

OOPS....

Thought we were putting our own weights down!!

Haye will be 227 lbs.

212 for me - sadly.....

[Chambers2]

I know I should be having a value bet on Monte in the first few rounds, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I think in a massachistic way I don't want my pain to be diluted if Haye loses (there's abit of Chambers logic for ya)

COME ON HAYE!!!

[Mukel]

any news from the weigh in?

[Chambers2]

Changed me mind when I thought about wonga, so I've backed Barrett in the first 3 rounds at 66/1 a round with Ladbrokes

COME ON MONTE BARRETT!!!!
