Why Did Tank Davis SWITCH GLOVES Before the Fight?

[Thuglife Nelo]

From what I read after the fight the reason they switched is because his hands felt loose in the glove..

But yea blah blah blah illuminati did it.. government conspiracy..

Mfs cant just enjoy fights anymore lol

Lol. So Tank chose the Grant, as he has done before, to have 8oz snug with wraps, to then work the mitts, and then he and his trainer say, “they were too big.” Lol

You guys are fools. You can’t single out high probability that the white gloves could’ve been tampered with on the side.

this all looks so shady.

Hmmm, I'd like more examples of this. If anything it might prove, the whole signing of the gloves and having the commission hold them before the fight doesn't matter?

The scarier part is what if Tank did put on the SAME EXACT looking pair, and had a friend sign it off with the similar writing, yet have them loaded or tampered with? Like you would literally have ZERO clue about it if this in fact can exist... The part where Tank is wearing entirely different ones makes this example stand out. Not a good look for the sport whatever happened here.

I just find it funny he's doing that and in company of none of than the Fraud himself, Jr. Looks like he's learning from the best early on how to get the upper hand on your opponents whenever and whichever way possible.

Him putting on another pair of gloves is not an issue, the fighters pick 2 pairs of gloves at the selection table. The pair they want and a back up pair incase for whatever reason they no longer want to wear the first pair.

This is what appeared to happened, the motives are up in the air as to why but theirs nothing really out of the ordinary with that particular situation.

The issue I have is that LSC team was not notified and was not able to oversee this process of them putting on,taping off and signing off on the back up gloves. Basically they got to glove up without team LSC inspecting it, reasons its wrong is because you're allowed to inspect it and team LSC did do this for the 1st version. The 1st version team LSC had a representative in their watching them wrap, glove up and the commissioner sign off on the first pair. Team LSC representative left and then tank/TMT switched out to the 2nd version and team LSC representative wasn't not notified to come RE-inspect that process.

So basically they put on a fake show for the team lsc to inspect and approve and when team LSC representative left they gloved up the real pair/the real way they really wanted without team LSC approval. Thats how you can look at it and this is why boxing allows the opposite corner to inspect this process, for a fighters safety. Team Tank is a conflict of interest, the commissioner can be compromised/incomptent, so the fail-safe is your own team-mate to inspect the gloves and object to issues. Its a vital important process.

Imagine if Margarito gloved up in front of Brother ****m Richardson normally with no "bricks" and nothing foul and so theirs nothing to contest so Brother ****m Richardson approves it and leaves, but when he leaves Margarito decided "he don't like the first pair of gloves" so he switches the gloves and without notifying Brother ****m Richardson/team Mosley he (Margarito) re-gloves without oversight from Brother ****m Richardson and comes into the fight with Who-Knows-What in his gloves. This is why this is a very important process. This is why you,me and everyone should be weary with how nonchalant people in the industry are taking this.

stank davis cheated. its obvious

It is sketchy and should definitely not be allowed by any fighter.

But I do not think it would have changed the outcome.

[Roadblock]

It’s not about fighters having a selection of gloves to choose from. Everybody knows that. The question is Tank’s team and him claiming they were too big after selecting it himself, then doing mitt work... to then say they are “too big.” Hence the other pair being tampered with and ready for the exchange. Why do you think Povetkin wanted to supervise Whyte’s gloves at all times? Or you just want to say, “but they have a pair to choose from doe!”

As the video said he put them on with wraps for the first time and punched with them and did not like the feel and chose his 2 pick which was a inferior glove and to Leos advantage.

There is ALWAYS some sinister conspiracy going on with fans, Ive seen this happen quite a few times and its never even mentioned in your average low profile fight because it dont mean anything.

The Commission should have notified the other team I dont think its the other teams responsibly they notified the Commissions thats all they required to do.

Exactly.. it's not a sexy headline in other fights so nobody gives af

It's not the commission's job to provide a chaperone for the gloving of a fighter. The gloves a fighter picks before the fights are inspected and approved before the fight. Sometimes in the contract talks, after that.. by fight night if the fighter wants to wear gloves A or B is up to him.

The commission is there to see they arent tampered with. Wrapping is a completely different and intricate process that varies that's why that is inspected so closely

[Thuglife Nelo]

Me and the OP been trying to tell everyone. If you funna do hit and runs... why not tamper with gloves too... “but but LSC was aware doe... but but fighters get approved more gloves doe!”
