The ' Langford ' ring ?

[dalcumly]

Am I imagining things, but did anyone else think the ring on Saturday night was smaller than usual?
If I'm correct why would anyone accept a smaller than usual ring when the home fighter needs as much room as possible to stay out of th way of a bulldozer?

[Stuarty]

Didn't notice anything at the time. Will have to watch it back. A smaller ring would've suited the wee Georgian dude.

I didn't notice anything unusual here...I remember watching Cai Zong Ju vs Etsuko Tada and thinking they had an hilariously big ring at the time

[Boxerbeetle]

Perhaps the ring just seemed smaller because Khurtsidze found it so easy to cut off and get to Langford quickly so often?

[crusader]

I've seen other mentions of this too, but I didn't notice it during the fights.

[Oiky]

Can't say I noticed it tbh

Thought exactly the same and just assumed I was seeing things because it would have only suited the away fighter.

I think the ring was fine, Lanford just couldn't stay out of the way.

Wow I thought the same when I was watching,just brushed it off though as I was drunk.

The conspiracy thickens. He was a patsy. The game is rigged

They did that in a fight in Australia earlier in the year - made ring 16 x 16 - smallest it could be under Australian Boxing rules.

Think they can very from 18 to 24 feet.

There was a German show recently with Culcay/Andrade and ring looked massive in that fight.

Yes I thought it was smaller than usual also, not sure it made a difference to the outcome of the fight but it could only of benefitted Khurtsidze.
