Really, really great fight. Incredibly competitive, tough to pick a winner.
Most likely Haye wins on the scorecards after coming off the canvas. The second most likely outcome is that Spoon wins by decision. Spoon is more likely than Haye to win by KO. But either guy has the firepower to coldcock the other.
I think it goes the full route even though both men are big bangers. Spoon had a rock solid jaw and and pretty good defense and boxing skills. Haye was chinny, but so fast and elusive he could dodge most foes' bombs.
As for tactics, Spoon was the bigger, stronger, guy, he had a solid ring presence and worked really well behind his long power-laden left jab. Obviously he fired quick, heavy combos with efficiency. So Spoon conceivably could win from center ring, keeping Haye at long distance by jabbing efficiently.
Haye had lightning-quick hand speed, very fast upper-body and defensive movement, and was much more mobile than Spoon, For this reason, he'd probably outmaneuver and outscore Spoon in center ring.
This is just my guess.

Either Terrible Tim takes a decision after outboxing Haye behind his crab defense jabs and overhand rights or stopping him late.

Witherspoon would be too big, strong and tough for Haye.

Tim should win this one.
I'd say by 8th round Ko.

Tim, easily, by stoppage.
