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
