    Where doesn't matter if he is wrapping the same way every fight, that's the whole point maybe nobody noticed it before who knows the thing is it's brought up now and so they must deem it legal or not, I don't think it will stop the fight just something they got to sort out.

      They have to cheat to win. This is a Naazim Richardson moment.

        You may well be right. I was contrasting it to the comment about the "Wilder situation", which I assume is alluding to Wilder and his bevy of silly excuses after Fury stomped him.

        As another poster said, if it is legal in Japan, then it will amount to nothing. That said, Inoue looks less incredible if his trainers are giving him an advantage like that, legal or not. And I have read where a few guys are questioning this pretty seriously. At the end of the day, if it is a legal wrap, then Inoue's opponents need to wrap their hands the same way and throw with abandon.
        I was referring to Wilder complaining about the gloves in the third Fury fight. Nothing illegal yet the gloves allegedly gave Fury an "unfair advantage" according to Wilder and he wanted them removed.
        Nothing happened because the gloves were legit and the type of glove was legal. To even things out Wilder wore the same gloves and I believe he ended up breaking his hand.

        How extra tape creates dangerous padding is a mystery to me.

          Just this: it's either legal or it's not. There's no "maybe".

            Because it makes the hand harder and more dense, that should be obvious.

              Nobody noticed it before? The commission and the oppnents trainer watch every second of the process so if its never been spotted before he may hang up the gloves to be a magician

                Not by that much. It's not a significant difference unless the stacking is obscene.

                  I would cancel this fight if I were one of the investors responsible for this fight happening just out of anger and accusations of cheating.

                  Everybody would lose at the end of the day. Inoue would just be back to being celebrity in Japan and move on. Business people would incur loses, of course, but recover them eventually. So the question like everyone else is asking is why only now? What changed? You can't just accuse people of cheating without presenting evidence in clear legal manner.

                    Not by much makes a difference when you're repeatedly punching someone's face and organs.
