    He reads one person from the UK supporting a UK fighter then constantly refers to "bias countrymen" even though there'll be loads against the fighter. Hilarious.
    But didn't you want Haye to win? And how about hattonthehammer, hitmanhatton, Otley, Eric, hornfinger, adamgb, leftylee, tysonbruno, and probably a few others that I forgot pretty much wanted Haye to win right? Of course to be fair probably 1 or 2 didn't think Haye had what it takes, but nonetheless they still wanted their own countryman to beat Wlad is this not true? And a lot of Brits on here did say Haye would ko Wlad because of the weak chin. Fact.
    How about Miles, Bilbo, Dark Lord Al, Big H, missy, boxingbantz, Fatsanman, tam seddon, etc.. plus all the others I can't remember. These guys weren't supporting Haye. Or certainly didn't give a him a chance of winning. There were plenty of non-Brits supporting Haye. So when you refer to his fans as his "countrymen" it is ridiculous.

    You don't seem to be able to distinguish between fans and nationality.

    Would you refer to Floyd Mayweather fans as his "countrymen?" Are they all American? Are all Bute fans Canadian? Pac fans Filipino?

    Good post and I agree with the general gist.
