              So what does it matter what color the gloves were as long as they were 10 oz?

                  Ha yeah.

                  They were probably like, let him have the black gloves, we'll take our chances but at least we'll have something to complain about if we lose tonight.

                              I'm laughing at this story now. They're actually protesting b/c of the freakin color of the gloves?...

                                  I may be wrong, but from what I infer from the story, Johnson's crew may be worried Cloud changed the gloves last minute and may have altered them. That's why they were confiscated... it's not really about the colour, but about the fact that by not coming in with the agreed gloves, it looks su****ious.

                                      He changed them after the commission and Johnson's corner agreed to Cloud's gloves in the locker room?

                                      If you have an issue that's the place to bring it up, not after the fight is over...
