Crawford's gloves split open and the fight was allowed to continue as though nothing happened

First of all, this isn't a thread bashing Crawford himself because he did nothing wrong. The issue is with the commission overseeing the event and the officials at ringside. How is it that in 2022 a fighter's gloves can split open with the padding visibly protruding from the tear and nothing be done about it? The ref certainly knew because she called a timeout at the beginning of the sixth round specifically to bring it to the attention of the ringside officials as shown in this picture. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-attachmentid":31674430} Both gloves were split. The right glove's padding can clearly be seen here and the left glove's seam was split open down the left side although no padding was spilling out. You can make it out on this picture but it blends in with the guy's red t-shirt. Obviously in this situation a timeout needs to be called and the gloves replaced altogether. It's mandatory to have a substitute pair available in the event of something such as this, so there can be no excuses. They didn't even tape them up. The loose padding could have scraped somebody's eyes during a punch or anything. The worst part is, this wasn't some shady unlicensed show in front of a hundred people, it was a high profile bout under the cameras and when the ringside officials were notified they did absolutely nothing and just let the fight continue as normal. Disgraceful is an understatement.
