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

[Jim Tom]

Tell me about all these "Unreported" things the BBBofC do? How do you have this information if it goes unreported?

Whyte had different gloves on because his trainer gave his to another fighter from his stable on the undercard. So Whyte needed another pair of gloves. Whyte talked about it after the fight and claiming he wasn't happy about it.

If you want tin-pot commissions that stink to high heaven, look no further than every one you have in the US. Now that is corrupt. You can't even ban a fighter like Miller even though he's walking around like a chemist with every powerful PED you can get. That is how bad they are.

You just talking out of your a.ss and if you believe that crap then this ain’t the place for you. You need to be in a home for the ******ed or learning disabilities as they call them in the UK. You really think that nonsense is a reason?

Each fighter has 2 pairs of gloves and so how are you gonna give the headliners’s gloves to an undercard fighter? What about the hand wrapping? How are you gonna wrap without the opponent’s team? Who knows what was in those hand wraps? Why did they refuse the opponent permission to inspect?
Do we have to talk about the cases were rounds were stopped early eg when Chisora had Haye in a corner or Macarinelli was getting pasted? Why were they prematurely saved by the bell?
What of the many stinking decisions? No he respects the BBBoC outside the UK. They are just seen as a bunch of corrupt morons.

He didn't haver plaster because the corner for Rivas was there to oversee the wrapping of the hands you idiot.

They made a fight they didn't need to thinking Rivas was better and would win? And this makes sense to your little brain does it?

Continue making a fool out of yourself like all the other dipshlt Americans do.

Can you read you wan.ker?

You haven't seen anyone getting robbed. That's just lies. Give me names otherwise?

Want me to give you a huge list of robberies from the US? You can't go a fight card without a robbery. That's how often it happens. You're more corrupt than the whole world combined. Funny, Americans like you never make posts about wanting overseas fighters never to go over there when it happens. In fact, it's the opposite with you all claiming fighters need to go over there and fight. So not only are you a hypocrite, but you're deranged as well.

Basic economics makes America the obvious choice for many big fights. That’s because the market is bigger and the audience is bigger. It’s not just about the number of people in a stadium but how much they pay to get in. This is the reason why even though Floyd would fight in a 16k arena he would gross more than someone fighting in Wembley stadium say Froch and Groves. Also the television revenue is greater because there are more than 350m people in that country so even if 5% watch the fight it’s still bigger than a bigger percentage of 60m. For lesser fights they travel eg to German when it makes economic sense. Fights are always made where the biggest economic benefit can be realised because accountants make these decisions. Promoters are in there to make money so take your nonsense back to the corrupt BBBoC.

The whole drug test thing seemed strange - I figured I'd wait for some facts before condemning him.

Now he's accused of glove tampering too. Would they really do that in front of a big TV audience?

What's coming next?

It's it just me, or is it beginning to feel more like a smear campaign against Dillian?

You just talking out of your a.ss...

...What about the hand wrapping? How are you gonna wrap without the opponent’s team? Who knows what was in those hand wraps? Why did they refuse the opponent permission to inspect?

From the article...

We saw Dillian’s hands wrapped

[Adrian#1]

Sounds like excuses.. get over it Rivas you moaning *****, Whyte beat you bad.

[Jim Tom]

From the article...

"To make matters worse, not only was Dillian allowed to wear these new gloves, but he was already gloved up and we weren’t even allowed to inspect them.
"Bear in mind, his camp inspected our gloves – they knew what we were wearing. In contrast we had no idea what they were using because they were allowed to pick whatever glove they wanted, tape it up and put it on.
"Even after we reluctantly agreed to let them make the change we still weren’t allowed to see the gloves.
"It's insane and created the impression that something was going on, that there was something being hidden.
"I mean, if those were the gloves they were going to use all along why not select them and bring them to the glove selection meeting?
If it was a late change for some reason that was needed on the night, why not allow us the courtesy of inspecting the gloves as you do at a glove selection meeting?
"What was going on? I don't get it.
"We saw Dillian’s hands wrapped but not the gloves being put on. We couldn't examine the gloves and when we protested we were told ‘too bad’ by the Board officials – effectively they said they weren’t going to make him take his gloves off, they're on already, the fight’s about to start.


“”””

This is my point. You bought nonsense like Whyte had given someone his own gloves. Each team brings 2 sets of gloves so why didn’t he use the other set?

2ndly he put on the other gloves when the Rivas team were not in the room. They informed them later 30 minutes before the fight which is why Rivas wanted to inspect the gloves. They refused to have the gloves inspected and wouldn’t take them off. Who knows what handwrappings they had under those gloves? The first hand wrappings was inspected but no one knows what happened before the uninspected gloves were put on? The wrappings could have been changed. It pays to have brains between those huge ears of yours.

Sorry, but no way do i believe that.
He's the main draw, the big kahuna about to get a mandatory HW title shot.
Gave his gloves to an undercarder. Sure.
Everthing needs to be questioned.

Even more so didn't the article say they inspected and OK'd TWO pairs? Then he didn't wear either pair? Uhm.... they gave both pairs to different fighters?
