[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In one of the stranger moments in the sport, Kell Brook was forced to change his gloves once he entered the ring for his long-awaited fight with Amir Khan, which took place on Saturday night at Manchester Arena.

When Kell says ‘They’ it seems like he’s referring to Khan.
Wouldn’t the promoter be making the payments to the boxers?

Not much has been made of this but I feel Boxxer/ Ben Shalom should have to answer why he was changing his gloves in the ring

The A-side filth that is Khan.
I'd love him to envoke the rematch clause, then do an Aj & chicken out of actually making the fight xD.

Brook could have worn oversized pillow gloves and still give khan a tuning

Far to strong and far to focused on the job . Timing beats speed

Shalom isn't a promoter, he's the front man / Hearn clone, for Sky Sports Promotions

All the tricks and all the running finally caught up with Khan on Saturday night. He was hammered from start to finish from pillar to post as 'King Kell' said he would. Khan , at his level still is ok but realistically he has never fought and beat anyone live at 147lbs and above ......ANYONE! ...You must be careful with Khan as it wouldn't come a surprise if he starts calling this a off night so that he can worm his way into another payday as he has many times before. The only trouble this time is that he was exposed by a much better fighter who he said in his own words was his 'legacy fight'. Khan has run out of excuses!

Apparently someone from Khan's team also knocked on Brook's door in the middle of the night.

So they were trying to disrupt him mentally before the fight. Kell shurgged off all of that stuff and still won easily.

Dominic Ingle done well reassuring Kell Brook 'Ingle for me, produced one of the best corner work I have seen in a long time'.

So calming, and reassuring. You could tell Kell Brook was one edge and amped up 'Maybe if Ingle was not in his corner, he may have fought in a more reckless manner and got caught etc'.

I was watching him as he was changing the gloves.

It has been said that both boxers agreed to NOT use horsehair gloves and that was the issue, Brook like that sleazy scum Gervonta, who pulled the slick BS and got away with it in TX, where apparently Hayman law rules over the commission, that wasn't happening in the UK....

Maybe they should have kept the other gloves? Epic fail.
