Lennox hat sich übrigens zu dem Ringboden etc beim Kampf grad geäußert:
This is the ring that was used during the fight last weekend. One thing that I noticed was that it had a whole lot of extra padding for some reason. Stepping into the ring felt like being on a mattress during a pillow fight.
I've seen tactics to give fighters different advantages. In my fight with Mike Tyson, they built a small ring and told me it was the only one in the area they could get. I promptly bought a ring that was the size set forth, and agreed to in the contract, and shipped it to Memphis in time for fight.
Using a small ring, would have given an added advantage to Tyson and since Don King was his promoter, these are the things people try in order to get an advantage.
Klitschko was doing the same thing here with the padding in order to slow Fury down so it would be easier for Klitschko to catch up to him and also to take away his legs. Fury's team discovered it and had some of the extra padding removed.
In hindsight, the fact that Klitschko would resort to such tactics with the ring, not to mention Fury's gloves and watching Klitschko's hand wraps, is a signal that Tyson was in his head BEFORE the fight to me.
There is an old saying that most battles are won, or lost, before they even take place. That seems to be the case here too.
