BBC are reporting that there is a real chance that the fight may be off as Fury feels the canvas is too soft. First the gloves now this, could the Klitschko mind games result in a cancellation?
These snidey little moves the K bros pull really undermine their image. This, the dodgy gloves etc. it's pathetic. I have Wlad winning in 5 but hope he loses, as this is no way for a champion to carry on.
I am starting to question Wladimir's mental state, is he really that confident? Why on earth would you want 5 inches of foam under a canvas unless he wants to stop Fury moving? Now Wladimir himself isn't exactly slow with his feet so maybe the Jennings fight did show us that Wladimirs age is starting to catch up with him and he feels he can't move with Fury for 12 rounds if that's what needed. I don't know but trying to gain advantages like this makes me believe Wladimir gives Fury far more of chance than most boxing fans do.
I'd say it'd appear so but I think he's been pulling this type of nonsense for ages - it prob just showed in the Jennings fight because he wouldn't be able to get away with it there. Fury isn't the first person to complain about underhand tactics from K2. He is however the first person willing to walk away from the fight if they don't sort these things out. He's also let them know about these things last minute knowing they don't want to take a hit and so how to sort them out or lose a shedload of money. Interestingly, this prob more than reverses Wlad's attempts to psych Fury out by making him uncomfortable. Tyson has ended up getting everything his own way which much be disconcerting for the champ given that he obviously feels he needs these advantages. I still think he'll win convincingly but clearly he isn't as confident in that as I am.
If the Fury camp had done this everyone would be slagging off Fury saying he's running scared and a cheat..
