This doesn’t have a leg to stand on, it would be more controversial if Team Cruz came out and said they didn’t know about the glove change AKA Team Rivas complaining about Whyte glove change.
Davis glovegate seems more serious than Fury "glovegate"

Cmon Ray don’t be naive. Rivas was PBC vs Matchroom. Team Povetkin also made notorious inquiry and awareness for Gloves for their fight. Team Povetkin wanted to test the gloves themselves in the locker room, etc... Whyte didn’t like any of that. To Whyte’s credit, sure, you only want to break in your fight night gloves yourself. Boxers have different size hands...sure Whyte has the right to feel insecure about someone else fitting his fight night glove.
The point is insecurity from both sides, Rivas, Whyte, Povetkin. As I said to everyone, context is everything!! These were all rival promoters!
LSC has no say or weight since it’s all a PBC in house fight favoring TMT. LSC would be a fool to completely trust TMT and the commission, so why would he question it as you say if he feels or trusts Haymon would do no wrong. It’s a good thing we have boxing fans whom can catch these things. PPV’s are important and PBC marketing and Showtime continue to push the narrative that Tank is a super star!!! Therefore, they needed to make sure at all costs that Tank wins vía KO or to not lose to LSC since it would be disastrous regardless of a rematch clause.
When everything is an in-house promotion it’s very practical for the A side to get favoritism. LSC was making good money, his father is sick, loves Al Haymon. He was just a pawn.Comment

I mean think about it, if he really was after tempering the gloves.. wouldn't he use the exact same colors/brand? So he's doing shady sh** and yea let's use two totally different colors/gloves. Makes no sense.Comment

Probably nothing
There’s usually 2 or 3 pairs of approved gloves. He probably just felt uncomfortable and changed themComment

When he was hitting the pads he probably didn’t like how that pair felt and got the glove changed.Comment

Conspiracy nuts everywhere. I'm surprised there isn't a thread calling both Usyk and Chisora cheats. They did a Tyson Fury and covered/moved the cameras!!!!Comment
