Have a Gloved Ever Ripped During A Ring?

[FBLM]

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.

Wish I could. It is on a reel to reel tape that I have been waiting for a friend to convert onto disc. I'll paraphrase what the commentator said between 4 and 5 ; Oh no one of Clay's gloves is damaged, what a pity for Cooper if there is a delay.(seconds later, he said) it's all right they're not going to change them. Then the fifth began and the horsehair padding could be seen flying out as Clay lathered Cooper to end the fight.
