Comments Thread For: Team Rivas Member Details Gloves Dispute in Whyte Fight

[_Rexy_]

Different brands can do that. I have a few pairs of 10 and 12 ounce and they're different in size even though they weigh the same.

Which is why vision test doesn’t work on gloves. I thought they looked small during the fight and just chopped that up to them being all black and a brand I’ve never seen.

But not letting them be examined is a red flag.

You don't oversee the gloves getting put on, just the hand wraps. They're signed off on and away they go.

Nothing suggests anything untoward went on. They just didn't want to waste more time and have Dillian take his gloves off again and have to re-do his gloves.

Do you really think the commission would do anything shady for Dillian Whyte? They would check the gloves themselves and make sure they were the right weight. They don't need anyone else to do it if they're overseeing it themselves. This is just nonsense.

Why even have the meeting the day before to change the gloves? Why have Whyte’s team with Rivas but not the other way around.

And I’m claiming this more incompetence over cheating. Though with the failed drug test on top who knows...

The only ones talking about letting Miller fight are Hearn and Fury. Nice deflecting though.

The only one deflecting here is you. Either answer my questions in the post or keep it closed.

Miller isn't with Hearn any more you fool. And Miller will be fighting in the US, not the UK. With Arum as the promoter.

Sit down because you're making a clown out of yourself.

Lmao what corruption in the US? Over 100 years of big fights with basically all of boxing history.taking place here and you can't even give something legitimate.

Are you being serious here? What corruption?

Sturm vs De LA Hoya.
Canelo vs GGG twice.
Williams vs Lara.
Hooker vs Perez.
Lewis vs Holyfield.
Wilder vs Fury.
Chavez vs Whitiker.
Pac vs Bradley.
Eastman vs Joppy.
Charlo vs Korobov.
Ward vs Kessler.
Ward vs Kovalev.

I could be here all day with this shlt. Go and search out the biggest robberies in boxing history and see all American fights. Now do away with yourself you clown.

You want fights where dodgy wraps and gloves happened in the states? check out Magarito vs Cotto. Check out Luis Resto.

You have nothing but deranged lunacy like the rest of the clowns from the US.

The change of gloves didn't come until the night of the fight. Whyte's gloves were mistakenly given to another Tibbs fighter on the undercard. Rivas' corner were in the dressing room for the hand wrapping. They just didn't let them check the new gloves as they were already on. They just didn't want to waste any more time and kept to the schedule. They oversaw them to see everything was legit. No reason to think otherwise.

They changed the gloves last minute so the gloves ABSOLUTELY should have been inspected by Rivas team.

Looks like Whyte had the gloves swapped for 8oz gloves.

Tampering with gloves is as low as it gets in boxing. Anyone that supports it is downright vile.

They changed the gloves because Whyte's had been given to another fighter by accident.

Care to prove they were tampered with or were 8 ounce? Or are you just going to convict without any evidence? Now that is disgusting. Maybe think before you type in future.

The bolded part we don't know if it's true. Your just taking their word for it.

Dillian can give any excuse he likes. The truth is the gloves were changed without being inspected by Rivas team.

Not to mention, that it hurts. Sid is as tough as anybody here, I can handle his crap.
