    Seriously: what is happening with Tyson Fury gloves?

    No bull**** thread, keep it real.

    You've seen the videos. Some from the first fight and now from the second fight 3rd round.

    His fist is not inside the glove completely.

    Explain the situation to me. How is that not cheating? What is happening there?

    It's called a slap.

      Slaps and flicking jabs.

      I swear a lot of people here have never even worn gloves before or fought.

      Why aren’t his gloves flopping about when he lands clean straighter shots? The impact would make the glove look even more floppy...

        If you’ve ever worn a boxing glove then you’ll know Fury would not be at an advantage if he didn’t have his hand fully in his glove. Unless you think slapping with the inside palm of the glove does more damage than a punch with the knuckles.

              they are in denial tyson cheated. he did two things with this modification:

              1. he extended his reach by 4 inches giving him credit for jabs
              2. he was able to strike wilder with his bare knuckles when hooking.

              note the tape of the glove is above the tape on the left hand.

                If there were something wrong with his gloves it's on Wilder's team and the commission to catch it before the fight.

                    pulling your hand down to the writs pad of your glove is illegal.
