Also meant "presser", not "pressed". That would be weird.

I like Germany. Das ist gutten. I will probably book flights and then see what is what. Then book a hotel, of course. Arrange a car to the airport. Ask The Law if he can meet me on German soil to aid my transition from using my UK directional gyroscope to my foreign soil one. Not sure if we should meet, though, as the last time I attended a Haye fight with you I was wearing a shirt that chaffed my nipples so I’m constantly afraid that if I go to another fight with you my mind will kick in with those memories and I’ll develop itchy nipples the moment I see you. It is all psychosomatic. My nipples hurt after Moore-Picco.

Adamek was interviewed on the Judah broadcast Poncey and he was talking about Wlad. My bet? Wlad's 'injury' continues to trouble him and it will be Haye-Vitali, providing Vitali emerges relatively unscathed vs Solis — and yes Benny, makes you wonder, doesn't it. When he was on Ringside Boente was asking Haye 'why not Vitali?', if you remember. I get the feeling they're a bit worried about Wlad vs Haye so they'll slip the big brother bruiser in first if they can. If by any chance Vitali pulls out vs Solis, it's nailed on what they'll do IMO.

Glyn, don't get me started.

Too late.

If Vitali pulls out versus Solis it will be pretty poor form. I’m stoked about the potential of Haye versus these guys but very doubtful over the extent of Wlad’s injury. Sure, Chisora wasn’t taking thousands of fans over but those who had arranged the trip, including at least one Boxrec poster, have been frigged.

The fighters seem to be having a whale of a time with all this poiticking and intrigue but they overlook, or perhaps don’t care about, one major factor, they seem to sign for fights and then use pull outs to switch things up without giving a single thought to the people who stump up travel expenses for the original location.

I’m not saying that things can be changed but the fighters should do the decent thing, lie to us about how sorry they are to have let the fans down etc, maybe even squeeze out a crocodile tear and then start talking up the next fight. All we get at the mo’ is “eff this fight, eff the fans who have made arrangements to come to this fight and I’ll no doubt see you all at the next one anyway because you’re a bunch of muppets (we are).”

The intrigue etc is great for us forumites, it gives us something to talk about, but I’m now really starting to understand why the sport is dissed and dismissed by the general public. There’s been too many, shall we say, convenient injury withdrawals in recent times.

I’ll be joining the rest of the mugs and muppets in booking flights to a Germany city when this one gets announced but I may hold fire on the tickets until fight week, just in case. If it all goes tits up then we (Geedorah and his woman) get a week in Germany, bonanza.

I’ve no read every statement by Wlad but it seems to amount to, “I’m injured. Chisora is shit out of luck. I may as well go and play golf and then fight David Haye, or perhaps I’ll sign to fight him, feign another injury and then slip my big brother in. As long as I get some golf in. (Boente elbows him in the ribs). Oh, sorry to all the fans who paid for tickets and shelled out on travel. I’ve been painted as the nice guy by the British, American and German media so I’m going to give you a broad smile and feign disappointment.”

Fans: “That Wlad, he’s a class act, isn’t he?”

Wlad goes off to shoot real people on a hunting trip in Cambodia with Manny P. No one says Bo Peep.

As an aside, I did an article for 'Scene saying Haye should beat VK first to send a shudder through Wlad and that this VK>WK running order is best so Vitali doing the do on Solis to take on Haye would start the process of validating my point. But I'm still slightly miffled at the thought of losing the Solis fight. I've put some grapes on layaway for that one.

I've got milk, baby.

Haye may be a British world champion but plenty of people here still have no idea who he is.

And plenty of people wouldn't be able to pick Pacman from Frank Sidebottom, Rowan Atkinson and John Prescott.
