Who is checking the boxing gloves to make sure they are not "fixed"?

[Derranged_]

Along with boxing commission officials, usually a rep from the other fighter's camp witnesses the hand wrapping and the gloves being put on and taped- which is a good thing. The more people watching the less likely someone will even attempt to tamper with things...

But still, like I said, that doesn't prevent tampering with the outside of the glove and the laces after the inspection. Angelo Dundee showed just how ready and prepared to do that sort of thing they are in Clay's cheating so-called victory over Cooper. And like putting a foreign substance on the glove, like maybe some of Liston's weird fights; like putting something sharp in the lacing, like maybe Lewis-Vitali.

When they loaded up Joe Louis' gloves for Schmeling 2 - if they actually did - they took the precaution of banning Schmeling's ***ish manager, Joe Jacobs, from entering the arena right before the fight started because they knew that old time boxing man would spot the loaded gloves right away (They said they banned him because they just found out he was indirectly involved in the liquor business because he also managed Tony Galento who tended bar in Jersey City - like that wasn't common knowledge! They were shocked, shocked I tell you, shocked!). But who looks at the gloves nowadays after the locker room inspection? Nobody.
