7:30 looked composed to you? Because he was quiet he was composed...? It's laughable this image built up of Wlad. Can do no wrong. Speaks 10 languages, nice suit, charming character, educated. Give over mate, he was lost for words there and had a look like he was so pissed off it was untrue. None of this shite means much IMO, some people place credence in it which is fine, I'm not really one of them. I just hate the way people are misrepresenting this as Wlad 'the composed character', its so full of bull****. The veneer came off weeks ago.
You dont have to be a nice guy to be good at boxing though do you. If you had to be nice guy to be good boxer - Ricky Hatton would never have achieved anything. If Wlad is a bit evil underneath the good manners and public image of dating Hayden Paittire - that maybe the needle he needs to smash Haye up. But all mind games aside - its Haye who has messed around this fight from happening all this time. Wlad was ready for this in 2009 - as soon as the challenge was laid down to him.
It's not about whether he's 'nice' or not. I've no idea whether he is and I really don't care. He's just not as composed as keeps being made out. All this desperate 'shake my hand' routine and the way he keeps going on about the t-shirt like David Haye actually slept with his mom...its plain weird man. Just weird. So was that look on his face in this video when his bro was mentioned.
To me though - Wlad was ready for the fight in 2009. Haye has played all these mind games since confronting Wlad in 2008 on a Esclator stairs. Why the need for all mind games ? and all the bull**** ? Just fight. If you confident you better man - just get in there and fight. haye has just done so much **** over the last 3 years - without even ever stepping in the ring with a Kltishcko. Klitshcko have always just been ready to meet the challenge of Haye. Haye cant be that confident he is the better man if he has to put so much effort into silly mind games. He has taken long enough to get this fight on. And he will look a clown if he gets dominated and beaten easily.
C'mon Flint, look at the contract Haye is fighting Wlad under now and what he was going to fight for 2-3 years ago. With that and pocketing the money from 2 defences I'd say its time well spent. Got to be realistic over stuff like this mate....
I don't think it was about the mindgames. I think it was all a publicity stunt to get a shot at the WBA title.
So better to get paid off with a big pension now. Than get knocked out in 2009 - when gunning for all the marbles. I'm reaistic enough about it. Haye had a oppurnitunity back then - not a pension fund - a golden oppunrnity - to prove himself the best - and then call the shots. He turned down the oppunrtunity. (when he had signed for the fight and terms already) Now he has the oppunrtunity again - but this time - the pension fund comes attached with it. Makes sense.- he werent as confident as he made out to take that oppunrtnity - so went for a easier path to richs.
To be honest WT, I have you down as a man after my own heart, a man who sees this for what it is. I dont have you down as a particular fan of any man... like me you just see this for what it is. & heres a wee trip into the head of a Dunky, just watched a certain Enzo vs haye recently again & Enzo had success in the 1st round against Haye with his jab, which is NOWHERE near(with all due respect to Enzo) a Wlad superheavyweight jab, & if Wlad lands as much jabs on Hayes face as Enzo did in that first round? Haye is going to be in BIG trouble. thats why I say Haye has the smallest of window of opportunity to win this, hes got to hope lighting strikes twice & he can do a Corrie, but against a once bitten twice shy version of a dominant heavyweight! Haye is banking on lightning striking twice here, but to be fair Haye is lightning fast...
WT = Fan of Enzo and critically here...a hater of Haye. A cynical person might say these qualities are interrelated...Not I though
Enzo also cut open Hayes right eye with one of them jabs. :shock::shock::shock: Wlad certainly could turn Hayes face into a bloody pizza faced type pulp. I'm not saying that will happen - Haye is more likely to get taken out by one big right hand - but Wlad could settle behind the jab and just bust haye up with that alone.
