Reply from GGG team on Rosado accusations
Ouch. Rosado is officially a beatch. Why he tries to ruin golden reputation of a new rising star who always behaves classy and respectful to all and who sportsmanship back to the boxing?
From Ring website:
"That's absolutely not true," said Loeffler. "They're not thinner across the knuckles. Floyd Mayweather uses the same gloves that Gennady uses, and Floyd hasn't knocked someone out in a while, so it's not the gloves, it's the person's power inside of the gloves."
"Grant sends those same gloves to Floyd Mayweather, and I'm not knocking Floyd by saying that. Floyd's out-boxing people. But just because you wear custom colored gloves doesn't mean that you'll start knocking people out or start cutting people or whatever the case is."
Loeffler and Sanchez said Rosado was offered a similar pair of gloves to those worn by Golovkin.
"They were complaining, and Abel said 'you can use a second pair,' and [Rosado's] trainer, Billy Briscoe, said, 'no, we'll use these,'" said Loeffler. "Because, apparently, Gennady's gloves for some reason didn't fit as well as the ones they brought from Grant."
Sanchez concurred.
"Billy Briscoe was there, his coach, and he had a couple of people with him. So we were having a rules meeting, and we were getting ready to try the gloves on, and they said, Gabriel's gloves were also Grants. We started trying them on, and Billy made a comment about the difference. So, I said, they're both Grants, they're both [10 ounces,] Melvina looked at them. The supervisor looked at them, and they gave them the okay," said Sanchez.
"So there was no issue. So I said, with Melvina present, and the supervisor present, 'you're welcome to use our second set.' So they were welcome to use our second pair, because we had brought two pair, and they had brought two pair also. So Billy went through a 10-to-15-minute try-on session with the gloves, and then decides that he didn't want to use our gloves. They would have absolutely been able to use a pair of gloves that were identical to ours."
