Boxing Talk has obtained a copy of a letter sent to ABC head Tim Lueckenhoff by Glen Johnson's attorney regarding complaining about an alleged switcheroo of the gloves worn by Tavoris Cloud when he narrowly defeated Johnson on Saturday. The letter states, "Dear Mr. Lueckenhoff: A very serious impropriety occurred in connection with the [Cloud-Johnson] fight last night.... After some argument wherein the Cloud camp attempted to change the contractually agreed upon gloves, the camps agreed that both sides would use ten ounce red Everlast of a certain model. Both camps had the opportunity to examine the gloves to be used to ensure they were appropriate. Normally a marking is placed by a commission representative upon the gloves examined and agreed upon and we assume that was done here. Between the selection of the gloves and the fight, someone switched the gloves to be used by Cloud. This was discovered and objected to when Cloud entered the ring wearing a different color and different model than that which had been selected in the presence of both camps and which had been selected by both camps."
