  • Is Wlad using foam flooring to his advantage?

    ***UPDATE***
    Apparently Wlad had been training on a "spongy" type surface for his bout against Fury! Wow.

    Around 2:00 in you can hear him talking about it and the advantages of training on it, "the floors are nice and spongy" caught red handed.






    Fury and his team discovered 3 layers of foam used as ring's floor, their feet literally sunk in making it hard to move. After 2 hour talks with Wlad and his team they agreed to remove 1 layer. Fury said it was was still soft in certain areas despite the removal.

    If Wlad had trained on this surface it would greatly work towards his advantage. Wlad has ALWAYS had trouble with guys that can move such as Jennings, Ibragimov, Haye etc. he just can't land his full power shots against them, Fury is one of those fighters and proved it yet again.

    Wlad needs an immobile target, one that he can gradually break down by grabbing, pushing, pulling, wrestling.

    This is not the 1st time Wlad has used that type of floor, he used it against Kubrat Pulev, who is also a very mobile HW that uses his footwork.
    You can literally see Pulev's foot sink into the ring 1:00 in:







    This is the ring with 3 layers of foam they tried to use against Fury:





    Is this illegal? If it's not, it should be, it can clearly give 1 fighter an advantage that's used to it and Wlad has fought on it before as evidenced in the first video. The flooring he used in his fights with Jennings and Povetkin (which Wlad didn't have home advantage) were much firmer, he looked like shit in those fights.

    Carl Frampton also had trouble with a soft canvas when he struggled mightily with Gonzales, he tells you how it affected him:

      he didn't even win and you're making a conspiracy theory about a cushioned ring canvas "working in his advantage"

      wilder will not reign as unified champion ever, wlad may be gone but there are a bunch of 27 year olds who are already better than wilder, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE **** BIATCH

        What does Wilder have to do with this thread?

        As another poster said, the ring looks like a bed. It would bother movers like Pulev and Fury which is why Fury made them change it or the fight was off.

        Who knows who else he's used it against.

          because the reason you dislike wlad so much is because you make threads about wilder being an "NBA level athlete conquering boxing" and you are a yusaf mack caliber f4ggot

          but yeah wlad's 10 year lineal heavyweight 4 belt reign was because the canvas they used at his german fights had extra padding

              yeah your mom sucks in bed

                It'd definitely be interesting to see how many bed-like rings Wladimir has used in previous fights. I've also been thinking about the Vitali vs Solis fight which ended weirdly & if a bed-like ring was perhaps the culprit.

                Clearly this would be of benefit to a guy who's not a fan of movement (which was surely a concern in this fight) or who's practiced on a similar ring (as its been suggested Wladimir has) so idu people suggesting there is nothing wrong with this type of ring or who suggest, like Vitali, that its even for both fighters.

                At the end of the day it was altered so worked out for Fury, but still a weird ass situation.

                Randomly also a weird ass situation with Klitschko wrapping his own hands in private. Idk how he'd think that would ever be all right. Lotsa weird **** in this fight with some seemingly basic stuff.

                  Frampton complained about the exact same thing in his last fight and his legs and power were heavily affected by it...It's a real issues. Stop trying to hide behind whatever this insecurity is about Wilder.

                    That fight was such a joke....It was obvious from one round Solis was far superior and all Vitali had was his size...HW is a joke...It'll never be good untill there is a 235-240 pound cut off....
