The Official Wlad/Haye Promotion Thread (videos, interviews etc)

[El Kabong]

Fightnews has reported that the WBA may not sanction the bout due to a dispute on the selection of referee Genaro Rodriguez ....there's no depth too low for Sauerland and the WBA title holder.

....Though at this point the actual belt is just a minor bonus to Wlad, I'm sure he just wants to bludgeon that bastard into submission.

I'm 99% sure the title will be on the line. I can though for once see where the WBA are coming from. This guy has let Wlad hold excessively in the past and that is something that should be addressed.

On simple solution, use a referee that hasn't been used in either mans fights before!

IMO the ref should be a neutral, someone like Cortez or kenny baylis. Smoger would be excellent for this fight.

"All I need is someone to count to 10"

.....Yup, that really narrows down the field huh?

How is Genaro Rodriguez a biased ref?

Also heard the one about how Manny Steward wants to train Haye against Vitali. I am sure Haye writes down what would annoy Wlad and throw him off his game whilst he is training and tries it during the week of the fight.

That's not the question as usual you try and change the subject.

Don't you want a fair fight?

[El Kabong]

I did nothing of the sort! I actually wanted Hatton to beat Floyd (til Ricky's drunken idiot fans booed the National Anthem)

....I love the irony that you Brits who called Joe Cortez a horrible ref are now calling for him to ref the biggest fight of the WBA title holder's career. And its even more laughable because Wlad's had Cortez ref his fights before and he's probably had more success with him than with the ref they eventually chose.

[El Kabong]

Hornfinger I haven't answered your "don't you want a fair fight?" question because I don't accept the premise that having Genaro Rodriguez (who was voted in and agreed to as the ref by all the sanctioning bodies including the WBA no less) suggests the fight is skewed one way or the other in favor of either fighter.

I'm tired of the grandstanding that the WBA title holder has done...I doubt he makes more noise in the ring than he does out of it. The thing I'm most looking forward to on Saturday is the 10 seconds of silence when the WBA title holder is being counted out.

Does he fuck!!

Lyle NEEDS a ref that will let Wlad hold excessively, which is illegal may I add.

The Sky team hit the nail on the head though, they have shone the torch on the ref now so he will feel pressured into stopping any of the holding from Wlad like Cortez was in the Hatton vs Mayweather fight by the Mayweather camp.
