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

[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.

So the answer is no you don't want a fair fight.

Fair enough....

Here's what adam booth had to say on why they're not happy....

From 7:00 onwards

[boxingbantz]

Words can't describe how much I hate Adam Booth.

He's the British equivalent of Rock Newman or Stoney Stone a mouthy arrogant prick that isn't a real trainer who's riding the coat tails of a decent fighter.

[Hornfinger]

What a load of bullshit. He's nothing like stoney. I have no clue where you get mouthy from. Was it the hamburg press conference where he got up and said one word.... 'enjoy' then went and sat down again. Yeah that was really mouthy!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

He's obviously a relative novice on the world scene and has a certain way about him but I don't fault the guy. I really cant say he's put a foot wrong.

As for Butures Fright, well he's just a glorified Ardvark.

[El Kabong]

Does anyone have the feeling that Wlad is the one pulling the wool over our eyes with his actions and comments? Wlad says time and time again "I will punish him and in the 12th round I will knock him out"....well what if Wlad and Manny are preparing differently? No one would suspect it if Wlad came out and just launched a right cross as his first punch. Your thoughts? How would the WBA title holder react?

Haye would like that as it gives him more opportunity to land his punches, I thin Wlad will try to impose himself with exposing himself.

[El Kabong]

Well I think the WBA title holder ASSUMES that's what he'd like to see coming at him but on Saturday it'll be the real thing not some fanny bandit that borrowed Gene Simmons platform boots and the fist from the Borat movie.

For normal people who speak the English language, fanny = women's genitalia, so being a fanny bandit is not an insult. However, I understand some of the former colonies have gone ahead and twisted the great language, so I suspect you mean arse.

A lot of things will get answered on Saturday night, and whether Booth's methods are really as good as his fighters say they are will be one of them.

[Tam Seddon]

What time is the fight on in the uk? I'm going with wlad KO! I want haye to do win though, hope he can.

[Hornfinger]

Word on the street is ring walks start at 9:45.

I wonder how long klitschko will make Haye wait in the ring for him. Wlads entrance could take a while and it would be a good tactic on their side to try and get haye as cold as possible for the start of the fight.

[Tam Seddon]

What a knockout from ola!
