Does it affect Wlad on a mental level? Haye acting so, on the one hand, makes Wlad a bit concerned/confused, but on the other hand, he doesnt use his full potential to sell the fight.
He acted pretty much the same for his other HW fights, I doubt he was scared then, he seems a confident individual. Both of them are probably nervous, as you should be, before a big fight with a dangerous opponent, other than that, I don't know.
To be honest, I don't know who's winning the mental battle, it might not even matter. The buildup's been entertaining but it hasn't made me favour either man more or less.
Wlad is talking before this fight much more than he ever has, its not really like him to be coming out with constant quotes, I think Haye has got to him.
I find it strange that after so long as a professional boxer this is the first time Wlad has encountered a wind up merchant like Haye. lol it makes for good viewing watching them go back and forth though.
Vlad seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. They say he's been having indigestion problems since the face-off, and many times while expelling gas, he's accidentally **** his panties.
i think that applies more to haye. haye talks like a terror when wlad isnt around but he seems to mind his manners a lot more when face to face.
We seem to have seen a lot of very polite, tame efforts at winning a world title recently. That seems to be how everyone approaches fighting the Klitschkos too, and they seem to have gotten used to it themselves. As Clive Dunn used to say in Dads Army, 'They don't like it up em!', and neither does Wladimir. The concept of someone coming to win, believing they can win, and telling them they will win seems to upset them. They don't like it up em!
Why would Wlad think Haye has to be nice and friendly there having a fight Haye can say and do what he wants Wlad really needs to deal with this. Would be funny if Haye wore the T-shirt into the ring on fight night Wlad would lose it big time.
Haye is playing silly little mind games with wlad.. What is obvious is that wlad seems to be overly analysing hayes behaviour. Personally if i were him i would forget haye and focus on what is real.
