i am curious to know how Angelo Dundee had Ali's gloves from March 8th 1971 fight with Joe Frazier. as the promoter of that fight Jack Kent Cook had it signed into the fighters fight contracts that both pairs of gloves, mouth-pieces and shorts had to be handed over to him immediately after the fight.
