WHY EVERYONE SHOULD CARE ABOUT TANK DAVIS GLOVE SWITCH, It PERTAINS TO WILDER!!!!!!!

[Leonbus2]

There is a picture all over the internet of the commission and a rep from LSC overseeing the glove change. They are smiling and appear to be having fun during process. One LSC rep is even wearing a JCC Jr. covid mask and the other is wearing one diamond studded white glove. Just google "davis glove michael jackson commission moonwalk" to see the picture.

Fury covered the camera but there was still cameras and officials in the room and there's footage here or Hill putting on Fury's left glove

Also Usyk and Delboy both covered their cameras last Saturday ��*♂️

Good post. That's Jay Deas standing right next to Fury watching him being gloved up. And of the OP or anybody else wants to say that Fury took those gloves off and put another pair on after Deas left, then the onus is on them to PROVE it.

I don't think Fury or Tank cheated but you are right that everyone is placing faith in these commissions which are already known to be incompetent at best and corrupt at worst. The investigation into the NYSAC revealed tons of corrupt ****.

You're missing out an important fact here.

Fighters have multiple pairs of gloves approved and pick one for the night. Fury and Tank are guilty of nothing

However Whyte used a pair which wasn't in the selection approved by Rivas' team and team Rivas weren't allowed bro check the gloves. Literally

Of course. My point is, if they decide to change the gloves after the other team has left the dressing room, shouldn't they notify them to come back and watch them re-do it?

Yeah, multiple pairs are approved by the commission but the other corner watch them glove-up with the pair they'll use in the fight. If they were to change them to a different pair, the other team should be told to go back to check the new gloves.

That video with Vitali in Wach's dressing room had gloves that were approved in advance but Vitali was clearly not happy with them and they changed them to another approved pair of gloves.

I'm saying the process needs to be looked at more closely and if they change their minds on what pair they're using, they should notify the other team to come and inspect again.

Not accusing Fury or Tank of doing anything wrong (because they haven't, didn't even mention Fury in my first post so not sure where that came from) but the Tank-LSC fight is an example of the gloves being changed after the other team have left the dressing room and maybe there should be a rule that they should be invited back to the dressing room if the gloves are changed after the first inspection.

And what about Mark Breland? Is he a known cheat too? Wilder throwing Breland under the bus because he can't take defeat like a man is de****able.

Nah I can’t defend that, Wilder was dead wrong with that one!

Breiland seems like an upstanding person and a man with principles, he didn’t deserve that!

On the other hand, Fury has a shady history of doing shiesty stuff!

The man is 6’9 an near 300 pounds an still feels the need to fight dirty, cheat and tamper with his gloves!

THIS IS A LONG READ, ONLY SERIOUS POSTER NEED JOIN. This is to expose the incompetence of the Boxing Commission more-so than attack a particular fighter.

TEAM LSC Inspecting/Watching for 1st version of gloves


No TEAM LSC to Inspecting/Watching for 2nd version of gloves


First off we are not debating the gloves. What we care about is the process that took place when they switched gloves.

Tank Davis putting on another pair of gloves is not an issue, the fighters pick 2 pairs of gloves at the selection table the day prior. 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 inherently 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 Version 2/Back-up gloves. Basically Team Tank got to glove up without Team LSC inspecting it, reasons its wrong is because you're allowed to inspect it and Team LSC did elect to do this for the 1st version. The 1st version Team LSC had a representative in there watching them wrap, glove up and the commissioner sign off on the first pair. Team LSC representative saw no issues and left and then Team Tank switched out to the 2nd version and Team LSC representative was not notified to come RE-inspect that process.

So basically Team Tank 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/incompetent, 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 didn'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.

Here is a video demonstrating the importance of this process, Vital Klitschko catch Mariusz Wach with a bad pair of gloves with the padding missing that the commissioner was overseeing and was allowing Wach to glove up with, it wasn't till Vital Klitschko contested it that the commissioner was aware that the gloves weren't right.



Imagine if Mariusz Wach decided to glove up the good pair first and Vital Klitschko approves it and leaves then Wach decides he wants to conveniently switch to the other pair that are presummed tampered with and no one notifies Vital Klitschko to come inspect them?

Now proving moreso how flaky and incompetent the commissioners are, you guys remember Maidana gloves that were approved by the commissioner? and Floyd Mayweather had to pay 2 million so Maidana would wear different gloves?

These are it.


Now imagine Marcos Maidana shows up with regular gloves and Floyd Mayweather doesn't object, and when its time to inspect the process Team Madiana puts on a show to get Team Mayweather to approve the gloves/wraps with the dummy pair and when Team Mayweather representative leaves that when team Maidana decides to switch gloves and whip these subpar versions out? The commissioner would see nothing wrong with it and with no Team Mayweather oversight to say otherwise, Maidana would have walked into the ring with these subpar gloves. This is why you are supposed to notify the opposite team so they can come back and re-inspect. (keep in mind this is NSAC the best Boxing Commission in the sport)


Now to Wilder and the Fury Gloves Allegations.



Do we know if Fury Cheated? No

But do we know he didn't switch out his gloves after a Wilder Representative left? NO (remember they covered the cameras)

So could Fury have used this same technique of waiting till the other team representative leaves than switch out the gloves so you have no oversight over the new gloves?

This is why this process is so important and shouldn't be skirted and brushed off like it is by many people in the boxing world, like it is by many boxing reporters, Everyone keeps saying the gloves were approved by the commission but I just proved how that doesn't mean anything in this sport. The fighter needs his representative in there at all time when they are tampering, wrapping, taping, lacing the gloves because its for their own safety and security.

The Boxing Commissions should be held accountable for a lapse in proper protocol or a lack of proper protocol, the WBC should be held accountable for not having their own representative in there to be assured the fight goes on without any incidents that brings the event integrity into question (what are you getting fees for? if you can't even do that?).

Good write up. Puts things in perspective. Damn, Vitali did not look at all amused in that video...

[Mike_b]

Here's the thing though, the main concensus is that team LSC observed the glove change, no?

I agree with the poster here saying winning gloves are boxing gloves not punchers nor as hard hitting as a grant glove to say, so it would be obvious to LOOK for signs of cheating: bruises, akward swelling, premature bleeding, etc.

Another poster said why does Davis need to cheat? He is the goods.

However, boxing god, you are showing more integrity than the Texas commission IF they didn't observe the switcheroo...

I get it , he didn't cheat,... But he COULD HAVE! In a game like boxing, shoulda coulda wouldas can end seriously. Thanks for reedifying the point until it drills home to us boxing fans!
