Johnson vs Cloud

Quote :
There was some post-fight controversy concerning the gloves Cloud wore during the bout.

The two pugilists had agreed to wear Everlast 10-ounce red mittens, but Cloud wore a black pair, which were confiscated for inspection.

Seems to me grounds for a DQ. But why didn't the Johnson corner say something prior to the fight?

It could be ruled a DQ or a NC if the gloves were tampered with. I just think they wanted to use black gloves to match his trunks, not for any unfair advantage. Story will blow over, nothing big I think.

Johnson's corner did bring it up before the fight.

from Fat Boy Dan:

"There was some controversy about the gloves in the fight. Cloud fought with a different set than he had selected at the glove meeting Saturday morning. Johnson's promoter, Leon Margules, noticed the gloves were different as the fighters entered the ring, and he complained to Missouri officials. The fight went on, but Cloud's gloves were held by the commission after the fight. Margules told ESPN.com that he retained attorney Pat English, and the gloves will be tested to ensure that there were no foreign substances in them or on them and that they were the proper weight."

What a dumb fucking hillbilly Cloud is. Why the fuck would you fight in different gloves than the ones you agreed to? That is just pure stupidity. The other thing that's stupid is the fact that anyone gives a fuck about the color of the gloves.

Using gloves other than the specific pair the foe has approved is serious business.

That's why I said it's pure fucking stupidity. I can't believe that Cloud and his team did something as stupid as this that would jeopardize the outcome for the sake of the color of gloves. The other thing that i find silly is that the color of the gloves is in issue in the first place.

You mean that no one from the commission is in the locker room before the fight to ensure he's using the correct gloves?

You would think that the commissions would be on their toes after the Margarito fiasco.

I agree that Johnson's team is playing up a very minor offense if the only difference is color but I also agree with them to confiscate them and see if there is something sketchy about them. They could be lighter gloves or even be tampered with. Hopefully, it is just the color and this blows over because I wouldn't mind seeing Cloud in there with Dawson, Pascal, or Shumenov.

If this is all because he wore a different color then I could care less.

The issue is NOT the color. The commissions HAND OUT/approve the gloves that will be used on fight night and both camps inspect both gloves. The fighters do NOT provide their own. Does anyone really need to ask why?

This may or may not turn out to have impacted this fight. But it is a HUGE issue.

I believe Johnson's team made a stink about it when Cloud came out.

I know what the issue is Marble but if it turns out to be that Cloud's only just wore a different color I won't be bothered. Now if the gloves have been tampered with that's a different story.

You're not getting it. This is ANOTHER example of a fighter ignoring the rules and positioning himself to scam. A DQ, a fine and/or a suspension is the appropriate penalty.

Now do I think it impacted Saturday? probably not. But again, not the point. Rules exist for a reason. BTW he didn't TAMPER with the gloves, he REPLACED them entirely. How can you be ok with that?
