The Boxing thread

....or even so far that such extremes have never been seen before....would be another way of describing it...

Does make you wonder why the klitsh klan never told Lewis to shut the fuck and stick with their obvious over padded floor...did they need the gypsy that bad to allow him to dictate, of course if they were bang to rights that would explain their reversal....whatever the truth was the non Fury loving lewis was'nt made to laugh alot

You seriously reckon it's never happened to such an extreme before ? Cmon man it happens all the time it's just that it's not usually highlighted by 24/7 coverage on a sports news channel that have a PPV to sell.

Your definition of cheating may be a bit too draconian. Anything that slightly contravenes rules is cheating but it's not black or white it's shades of grey. I'm a Fury fan, don't get me wrong - some of the pussies on this thread bleating on about homophobia should wind their fucking necks in - but even though I'm a fan I have to acknowledge that technically he cheated in for example the Cunningham bout.

Cheating to gain an unfair advantage is part and parcel of sport. Going to the extremes that say Margarito did is indefensible. Trying to make the canvas spongier is equivalent to preparing a cricket pitch to suit spinners if Shane Warne's in your team.

i fancy Klitschko to knock fury out, hell be training like he's never trained before and judging by furys body yesterday he doesn't give a shit. £20 on is £75 back easy money. Ive seen fury hit the canvas a couple of times aswell.

Pardon me Mark i perhaps did'nt articulate me words clearly enuf...it was'nt me who reckoned it had never been seen before (afterall like you i was'nt there) but a world champion at the weight..i'd be very suprised if he was lieing

Would such a pitch be dangerous to a batsmans health..

Listen man we all have big respect for Lennox or any boxer for that matter but Lennox had his media hat on that day and may possibly have been encouraged by his producer to exaggerate the seriousness of that situation to increase interest in the fight. Or he may simply not have encountered it before - doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Some boxers follow boxing like the bible when they're done, some take no interest at all.

Is a spongier canvas dangerous to a boxer's health ? No i don't think it is.

You're bringing nothing new to the discussion. Just a totally blinkered focus on minutiae.

Are you the Irish girl at the presser ?

You seem to be getting a case together set around the choice of gloves, that's a good slight of hand (forgive me) but i think you'll find the Furys shout was born out of the unseen wrapping..you really must have a fairer approach to the furys...it's no wonder they're shouting for some balance in their evaluation, folk making their own truth up for em after they've clearly (and loudly) stated their case could be seen to be a teeny weeny bit bent...

If the wraps had anything to it you'd have a point but I don't think this is the case and we have no proof of it, as for the ring we will have to agree to disagree mountain over molehill springs to mind(insert passive aggressive remark here). They both share the same canvas, you are making out like one fighter is gaining a massive unfair advantage(there's all sorts of advantages that can be gained anyone who knows the sport even a little bit will have noticed some, I just mentioned a few and you focused on the gloves as a weak strawman for yourself), which dodgy wraps would be(that's cheating plain and simple)... I'll say it again it's not cheating as long as the officials checked it and deemed it safe/above board, their team can check it too if it's going to affect them too much and ask for it to be changed as was agreed. This could have been done in any of his previous fights without much fuss, I credited his team quite clearly for that also, I've not got alot against the Fury's certainly not a hater just found it poor form and I imagine he'd be crying bloody murder if someone went after his rep like this claiming it's just because he's a traveler... he's a bit of a crybully at times for me I much prefer his interviews with Kugan.

Erm you do realise the canvas is loose since they are still finishing preparing it behind him and it's the only reason he trips? I hope you weren't thinking it proves your point or something.

Mountains and Molehills never sounded so apt, yeah..there was the little incident with regard to purposefully giving Tyson a set of gloves too small for him but that was after the secret taping caper not before...i think someone cleverer than me would tell you the clever long name for this technique of making a subliminal joke out of theglovegate incident when your caught out...matters not that the correct terminology escapes me, it only matters that it was after the furys cried foul to secret wrapping.

One thing is an absolute certainty...Fury said fuck the slumberland flooring off and robot bollox wont be landing a glove on me..did'nt say it afterwards...oh no, oh no yoko oh no...said it before hand....when clay used to say similar he was some kind of prophet (and some kind of laugh along comedian when he was knocking fuck out of a mock frazier gorilla). I'd expect...and it's only a guess..Vlad would have preferred the spungy bob flooring looking at his movement and it's simply unfortunate for him that somebody unbeknowns to him was carpet laying such a floor to suit his requirments and the gypsys independent of lenny vocalised their disbelief that a professional fighter would/could be happy with such a set-up. so near and yet so far.

Yeah i do realise that Metal...do you think lenny realised that or he was taking a backhander jumping up and down saying WOW...forgive me for being a touch previous but i'd guess you've never been paid monies to enter a square ring before have ya?

Talking to a kid in gym early this year when he started bawling at two lads having a grapple 'get them off you klitsko ****', i asked him what he meant and he explained that the giulty face grappler had snided a pair of sticky footed approach shoes into the gym for the 3rd time this year....minutiae....apparently it matters greatly.
