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

[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.

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!
