By TK Stewart - Tommy Gallagher, who has been part of the crooked-nose crew for as long as most care to remember, is an old school trainer going against the curriculum in a new school world. He has trained fighters for over 30 years – tough guys too – like Doug DeWitt, Vito Antuofermo and Merqui Sosa. Tonight, Gallagher leads heavyweight Michael Grant down the comeback trail, and if Gallagher’s hunch is right, he might one-day help Grant buckle a heavyweight title belt around his waist. [details]

You would think a trainer with years of experience would know what weight of gloves boxer fight in lol,
“The UFC lets ‘em wear condoms on their hands. We have to wear 14-ounce gloves if you weigh over 135!"
Actually its 10-ounce! -

Gallagher has obviously seen it all in a lifetime spent in the hardest game. He’s disappointed with what he sees these days and he wonders if boxing can make it. “The commissioners are ruinin’ this business,” he laments. “The UFC lets ‘em wear condoms on their hands. We have to wear 14-ounce gloves if you weigh over 135! They wanna’ think they’re doin’ somethin’. They’re doin’ nuthin’ but makin’ the fighters lose out. Now in the UFC fighting you can kick, you can bite and use your elbows. There may be a conspiracy to remove boxing and keep that Ultimate Bull**** out there! I’m not takin’ away from the athletes, but they allow them to do whatever they want and the boxers are scrutinized. What does that mean? Don’t get me started!”
He is wrong there too. Some people need to STFU if they don't know what they are talking about.Comment
