Haye-Wlad - HBO Face Off Video

[El Kabong]

"Isn't there" meaning isn't in the same room. I guess the WBA title holder wants to feel like a blushing bride come fight night

Honestly the 1st big punch that lands will be Wlad's jab (yes....JAB) and it'll evoke a "fight or flight" response where either Wlad will have to use some defense, break a clinch, or start to stalk down the pride wounded soon to be FORMER title holder.

I am anxious to see how the WBA title holder takes the right cross.....I'm guessing not well.

naa the big russian girl will start being gay when haye stars getting nearly into range

then the big russian homo will start falling over

honestly tho man I know in your world that it is the unthinkable but if David Haye wins will you still post on here?

I understand the whole point of the WBA title holder talking trash to get this huge fight....but what's the point of starting it back up again when for a few weeks he wasn't saying much but "I'm focusing on training"....he obviously wasn't out looking for new material. Does he want Wlad to fight angry? Maybe have Wlad come to brawl instead of box?...one would think that with a chin that got dented by Jean Marc Mormeck he'd be blowing smoke and trying to convince Wlad that he's not a threat and then jump on him early and catch him off guard.

.....When they wake him up after the 10 count and inform him that Wlad has taken the WBA title (which he should really already have) if he will look back on this whole thing and see that he approached it the wrong way.

I like how he totally bought into Manny Steward's comment about his speed an power...ah the weakness of a Prima Donna's ego

Just to touch on what someone else mentioned within this thread Lyle, What ya gonna do when Haye takes all of Wlads title's Ya gonna be typing his moniker forever mate,

IBF, IBO, WBO, WBA, and Ring Magazine title holder bah.... just call him 'TheGreatest' it'll be easier mate

I was hoping he'd work that one out for himself

[Violent Demise]

It was a good watch. I thought Wlad's attempted hand shake at the end was a brilliant move. It clearly caught Haye off guard. Made him look like a scared bitch when he refused to shake it

[mattboxingfan]

Lyle, you keep side stepping... but I will ask anyway. Does Haye honestly get to you so much that it is worth regularly typing 15-20 characters as opposed to a measily 4?

Seeing as after the fight you'll have to call him haye, I'd like to know what point you've been trying to make all this time? We're one week out and still nobody gets it yet.

Do you say it out loud too or do you just say Haye when talking in person? I hope so because if you did you'd sound like you had some form of rainman style autism.

After the fight he wont be calling him Haye instead he will be the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO heavyweight champion of the world.

[AdamGB]

The guy puts sentences together like he has high functioning autism or something.

I think he's attempting to make some sort of point that Haye isn't notable enough for Lyle to even acknowledge his name.

Unfortunately it just comes off as if Haye is so notable to Lyle (I was going to keep referring to Lyle as 'The boxing message board account holder' but I got bored after doing it twice... so I have to give Lyle props for staying power and consistency I suppose...) finds Haye so notable that he is willing to dedicate extra time and effort to typing about him.

[brocktonblockbust]

He probably does too! I like Wlad the more I hear him.

And look at Haye with the constant "He's shook.....he's shook". No way Wlad makes those kinds of silly errors. Do you possibly mean that "he is shaken"?

Then again you also have Jim Lampley with the constant "Coming up on March three". Have you never heard of ordinal numbers?

Must be a boxing thing with all these weird language forms materialising. They always stand out when I hear them.

I agree its too many shots to the cranium. Scrambles their grammar.

[AdamGB]

I think it's more to do with the fact that Haye is speaking with colloquial English... whilst Wlad is speaking with textbook English.

If you are educated to speak a language, rather than immersed in a language and culture during your upbringing then of course you are going to speak it more purely.

Miles I'm assuming that being an English teacher, you already knew this... so I really don't see your point. I agree that the fact that English isn't Wlad's first language matters when assessing whether he is shook/shaken/shooken (:P) by Haye, as for Haye's grasp of English? It's completely irrelevant and just screams a bit of snobbery to be honest.

[brocktonblockbust]

ok Adam, another cool click.

[brocktonblockbust]

However I agree with Miles, I cant stand this modern coining of nonsensical vocab and bogus usage.

[AdamGB]

*sigh* go on then, have one back...

[brocktonblockbust]

thank you, sir

[El Kabong]

You guys have forgotten that I initially refused to call the WBA title holder by name because #1 He ducked out of the fight vs Wlad 2 years ago #2 He ducked out of a fight with Vitali after that #3 He kept on saying he was going to fight "a dangerous fighter" or "a big brand named fighter" and he fought: Monte Barrett, Nicolay Valuev, John Ruiz (mandatory), and Audley Harrison. It should be very telling when John Ruiz is the best heavyweight on your record! But to you Union Jack clad morons apparently those fights just prove how great this guy is

I refused to mention him by name UNTIL he either gets KO'd or fights a worthy opponent.....oh and what do you know, looks like both are coming up on July 2nd

Its a respect thing and I don't respect what he's brought to the sport. If you talk trash you had better be ready to back it up! Audley fucking Harrison....good lord man, Wlad is just going to slaughter this fool!
