"A barking dog never bites".
To be fair to Wlad, even though he is awkward linguistically, he is seemingly more articulate and insightful than Haye. His English is actually very good. I always take note of boxers who go to the effort of learning English as a second language. It is also interesting to see if they are improving or not. It's easy for Haye to mock Wlad with Borat impressions, but that is just a cheap shot. Wlad speaks better English than Amir Khan.Quote:

I not watched this yet but will do when I get home.
I have seen the Borat thing before though and agree it is a cheap shot and makes Haye look an idiot.
Wlad also speaks better English than all those chavs in the UK.;DQuote:

He probably does too! I like Wlad the more I hear him.Quote:

And look at Haye with the constant "He's shook.....he's shook". No way Wlad makes those kinds of silly errors. Do you possibly mean that "he is shaken"?
Then again you also have Jim Lampley with the constant "Coming up on March three". Have you never heard of ordinal numbers?
Must be a boxing thing with all these weird language forms materialising. They always stand out when I hear them.
Wlad shouldn't let himself be bothered by Haye though as it is all just talk. It bewilders me that anyone can truly get upset by the decapitated heads thing or by dissing big brother. It's like the steroids thing or being called gay, just take it on the chin and get on with it.
No big deal. :rolleyes:
We should also put Haye in the gayest boxer contest too with his 'boner' comment. Wlad looking angry gives you an erection? That is crossing into Bilbo territory. :p
I am taking over this thread! ;D
Just a final comment to make and that is that I am genuinely excited by this fight, so regardless of it is all just theatrics or is genuine, it has worked. Job well done, the fight will do really well and might even be a good one.
Klitschko: ''Your Dead'' :mad:
Kellerman: ''So are you predicting a knockout:confused:''
:vd: ;D
Haha, "your dead" is funny too. It's like something kids say at school. However, in this instance it has a kind of Ivan Drago feel. "I must break you". Holy cow!Quote:

I hope he doesn't because it would likely lead to a nervous energy nuclear fallout and he will be falling over himself after 3. He needs to fight cautiously and stick with the basics, not provide Haye with free chances because of some silly thing he said about his brother.Quote:

I understand the whole point of the WBA title holder talking trash to get this huge fight....but what's the point of starting it back up again when for a few weeks he wasn't saying much but "I'm focusing on training"....he obviously wasn't out looking for new material. Does he want Wlad to fight angry? Maybe have Wlad come to brawl instead of box?...one would think that with a chin that got dented by Jean Marc Mormeck he'd be blowing smoke and trying to convince Wlad that he's not a threat and then jump on him early and catch him off guard.
.....When they wake him up after the 10 count and inform him that Wlad has taken the WBA title (which he should really already have) if he will look back on this whole thing and see that he approached it the wrong way.
I like how he totally bought into Manny Steward's comment about his speed an power...ah the weakness of a Prima Donna's ego ;D
