      Have you ever heard of a fighter by the name of Cassius Clay? He might have had a super famous controversial fight with a guy named Henry Cooper that involved a rip glove and replacement of said glove.

            The rip occurred during the fight, Dundee made the rip bigger with his finger between rounds.

                  Truth behind Clay/Cooper came out many years ago. Ripped glove was not changed. Padding can clearly be seen coming out of the glove as Clay hit Cooper in the fifth. Angelo Dundee embellished the incident, with the sticking his finger etc to make himself out to be a sharp operator. The minute rest between 4 and 5 was at most an extra 5 seconds, at most , not the 2 or 3 minutes so often, wrongly quoted. I have the original radio commentary transmitted on the BBC.

                    A glove from Chambers had to be replaced when he was fighting against Wladimir Klitschko.
