The fact the gloves arrive in a box not sealed will always cause an issue . This brand need to seal the gloves then add fancy boxes

[@Bazzle342]

If Thompson is trained by Tony Sims I’d be more worried about what he’s been taking rather than his gloves

[@vince11harris]

Didn’t matter he got beat pillar to post 😂

[@Olympiamaniac]

What should happen is matchroom should make there own branded gloves and all fighters have to use them on their show, prevents debates like this and ensures no shady business.

[@akaskinz1856]

Surely the board has some better control than this 😂

[@liamroskell8055]

More incompetency from the BBBoC they didn't and couldn't even weigh the gloves. Not that it will matter, Thompson is getting knocked out.

[@gruunt4064]

he did say it was unusual to be asked that and they have officiated over 1000's of fights , if it was normal then they would have scales ,how many championship fights has the Australian guy been involved in ? sounds like he is just trying to unsettle the process

[@liamroskell8055]

@@gruunt4064 it's standard practice around the world to weigh gloves to ensure they are 8oz or 10oz. Boxing is full of dirty tricks and it's mearly team Opetaia doing their due diligence. That is still irrelevant towards the BBBoC being incompetent and not even weighing the gloves or having means to do so.

@@liamroskell8055weight the gloves is pointless anyway as the weight could all be the wrist are of the glove with no padding

[@Riff22741]

Italian leather 😂 it dont matter . These poms are funny with their fancy gloves. Not meant to be a beauty contest mate.

[@Olympiamaniac]

Both fighters should have to fight in the same gloves as standard imo

[@jordanajayi2152]

Shouldn’t the boxers be there themselves to test it

[@dmaul5190]

Organisation at its finest, 🤦🏽🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a palava🙄
