But there were mitigating circumstances...Wlad in dressing room, Haye chatting ****, stealing Delboy's thunder...etc etc etc. Those. So by your criteria it would've been ok for Wladimir to have smashed Haye at the Excel arena, when Haye bum rushed him and got in his face??? Because Haye "instigated a threat"? Or when Haye went into the restaurant that the brothers klit were dining, and threw a copy of mens health on the table, with the infamous decapitation front cover? Both as provocative as what Chisora did IMO
You just made my point. It would not have been ok for wlad to attack Haye. And the big difference is that he didn't because he's not a bully or a thug. You must be awfully sensitive if those are mitigating factors. Everything that happened, chisora caused. That's all there is to it. He had no reason to slap vitali, to spit on wlad or to storm up to Haye (who, for the 50th time, did not get involved until he was spoken to). Only person showing disrespect was chisora.
I'm glad we've got both, the more coverage the better. Yes some will be biased, but if you're intelligent enough you can read between the lines and also have your own opinion.
Nelson can't even read off autocue without stuttering and getting into a predicament! hear him trying to say JuanMa ....oh DEAR
Not sure how I've made your point??? Haye approaches Wlad = no response or punch thrown Chisora approaches Haye = punches (whilst holding bottle) thrown, elbow thrown, punches thrown at chisora trainer, and tripod hurled at chisora trainer, hitting Adam booth. Haye being there was out of order, again ever the salesman, trying to talk his way into a fight. Chisora shouldn't have left his seat but criminally speaking and morally Haye threw the first punch...so again I say if wlad would've responded in kind to Haye approaching him at the excel, would Haye have been blamed? Nope, instead Haye secured a multi-million pound fight, where he promised great things and then after a dismal performance, took off his boot to show the world his toe!!
Huh? Haye hasn't made a habit of randomly assaulting people. He didn't put his face in Wlad's, he hadn't slapped and spat and bitten and kissed previous opponents, and he didn't immediately say he was going to slap Wlad. Wlad had no reason to think Haye would do anything, but Haye had every reason to think Chisora would. Are you following? I don't see how anyone with their brain intact could disagree with me here. It's utterly logical - none of the idiocy of that weekend would have happened without Chisora's consistently aggressive behaviour. You just need to look at the common thread in each incident, and it's always Chisora escalating things. And are you a lawyer? Criminally speaking, Chisora was the clear instigator of that incident. He created a conflict and had shown clear capacity and intent to injure others.
I like Nelson, not a fan of Smith, however. People ***** about how they're both pricks, but you have to ask whether or not you'd prefer them or nothing at all. And although it's not perfect, I enjoy it on a weekly basis..
Ringside could be so much better....Imagine if they had two people presenting the show who you could warm to...I dont mind Johnny (tight shirt is a must) Nelson, he's a bit strange at times...I dont really have a problem with Smith either really, but they could have two better people presenting it easily.
