    Why the Glovegate controversy? Fury simply threw illegal punches with inside of glove

    Why was there all this BS about glovegate and the fist not being all the way in?

    It was clear that Fury was simply throwing illegal punches with the inside of the wrist/palm area.

    Gloves were on properly. Punches were illegal by boxing rules.

    All boxers throw punches like that, some more than others.

      This is what i've been saying. Refs almost never enforce the inside of the glove rule though.

            I cant believe this #Glovegate thing...... Fury likes to wear his left loose when he's keeping a right hand busy.

            That means he doesn't grip and forward thrust his fist tight..... he kees his hand loose in the glove and gives taps with that hand. He can throw the jab, then quickly slap around the guard so the other boxer "thinks" they are taking hits even though it's pitty-pat stuff..... it sets up the right which he keeps tight.

            Is it illegal? yes, when he slaps with the inside of the glove...... it happens a few times in the fight but nothing a referee can see or take points off for. Does he have knuckles landing without padding? no. that's silly and impossible.

              While it was definitely a beat down, Fury’s jabs were very illegal.

              If you could learn to spell at least at an elementary school level, it would show that you yourself are not from a shithole.

              Next time, keep your 2 cents to yourself, I wouldn’t want you to end up broke.

                  I really don't care about Wilder losing. And he did lost that fight.

                  But I don't see why there is a half a dozen threads about this "conspiracy" with slow motion videos and gifs, when it's obvious Fury is simply hitting with the inside of the glove. There is no conspiracy at all.

                    All the diehard Wilder fans and conspiracy theorists were cool with it when Wilder did it to Ortiz.
