Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Fury Canvas Controversy Surfaces On Fight Day

[deathofaclown]

They are expecting some heavy knock downs here.....but it really does look dangerous , I wonder what Wlads thoughts are.

Probably wondering why Fury and co. are not just keeping quiet and doing everything they're told like their usual opponents do. These games won't work on Fury and his team.

Loeffer once again showing his true snake like colors. This dude is a cheater and a liar disgusting

Klitschko showing the big doofus what real mind games are.

[Fury4daWIN]

not really a big deal imo. it shouldn't affect the fight at all...

Says a man who's clearly never boxed.

[BostonGuy]

I think Klitschko was just trying to get under his skin and play the "mind games." They never intended to go forward with the fight on such a cushy canvas.

[Paul Bunyan]

Anybody saying these are excuses is ridiculous,
That is a health and safety risk, and anyone has boxed before knows the difference between boxing on a smooth hard canvas,a bumpy canvas and a canvas like that.
They where dead right to check the ring beforehand, their will be over 40 stone jumping around that ring tonight and the ring should be up to safety standards.

If the fight went ahead,fury fell and hurt his ankle, everyone would say o excuses, and he is pulling a David haye. Would you rather that instead.?
And it's on tape so we know they aren't lying about it.

But their both fighting on the same canvas. All you idiots calling this a dirty tactic are ****ing sheep. There is no advantage for Wlad. Deal with it, they're excuses.

Really? i think it's backfiring because most of his opponents just go there and accept any conditions.

The Fury camp have now exposed them about the gloves and now the ring, with good video evidence to prove their point. It shows Wlad in a bad light and it's also been changed now, so Fury got his way because he didn't sit and accept it.

wouldnt be surprised if this fight didnt happen.

[Anderson Silva]

haha Fury making excuses already

You don't know anything about boxing clearly.

It's all to do with how the fighters move. A ring like that is designed to suit Klitschko who isn't much of a mover, and also trains on a softer canvas. Fury moves so it slows his movement, puts strain on his ankles and also causes fatigue because it takes a lot more effort to move on that.

It's like you going to the beach and trying to run on the sand or something where your feet sink in. It slows you down and tires your legs.

Please don't even comment unless you know what you're talking about. It's not about taking sides of the fighters, it's about having a decent fair fight and this is clearly designed to make it unfair. You don't have to be a Fury fan to see that.
