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

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?

Wlads public workout!

He looks so slow in the pad work. And the shadow boxing well all the punches will go over David Haye's head lol he is aiming too high

This is gonna be great on Saturday - Klitcshko is gonna be knocked clean out in 6 rounds in my opinion if not sooner

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.

Yeah....I think Wlad will quite enjoy his time in the ring Saturday.

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.

[Hornfinger]

Cortez and mayweather are from the same country = bias

Cortez has no national affiliation with either fighter and there hasn't to my knowledge been any complaint from either fighter about Cortez officiating in a previous fight.

There also won't be an american national anthem to be booed before the fight (which is a shame because I for one believe any national anthem (especially the american one) should be booed whenever it is played) so I don't think Cortez will be getting his knickers in a knot about that.

There's no irony what so ever because this fight is between two different fighters, in a different stadium, in a differnt country to the hatton vs mayweather fight.

Lyle, stop being an idiot.

I find it funny that you've still not answered the question 'do you want a fair fight?' I take it from your silence on the subject that the answer is no you don't!

[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.

Manny Steward says he was the ref when Wlad got KO'd by Sanders. It'll be DeJa Vu for him then

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Cortez took a point away from Hatton for faking a rabbit punch.

He can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.
