    Look how guilty Wach himself looks as Vitali is about to check the right glove. He is looking at him like a kid who thinks somebody saw him steal something. Horrible. You could see the glove had no padding in the knuckles just by watching it being pushed in on the video.

    And can you imagine the outcry on this forum if it was the other way around? Every Wladimir Klitschko victory would be dismissed because he fought with loaded gloves. Other guy gets caught, and he gets a get out of jail free card.

    This is also why the top fighters need to have top trainers and guys paying attention to details. There are numerous corners out there that would not have caught this & if they did catch it, would have allowed it anyway.

    Would have been funny if Vitali tornado kicked that trainer.

    But it's good that there are people like Vitali who check those things.

    The right glove is no accident. Wach should lose a percentage of his purse at the very least.

    I was surprised Vitali didn't respond with something like "Shut the **** up and go to you room". You know, Vitali could.

    I don't think it there was foul play here, just a bit of misplaced padding. These gloves are probably being manufactured in China now, so we'll see this from time to time in higher profile fights. :think

    If the gloves were under supervision till being brought to the dressing room, which might be the case , you all need to stfu and stop jumping to conclusions. Also, this is different than the Margo situation. Marg placed an extra hard layer of gauze on his wrappings, which is probably more discrete than trying to pull something like this, which has a low chance of succeeding in the first place. Every idiot knows those gloves will be inspected and I don't think Wachs camp would be foolish enough to try it. We need more info to judge.

    No place for that type of **** in this sport. It's dangerous enough as it is, as Wach brutally experienced. If Wach knew about it and was okay with it, he's an absolute disgrace, but I'll wait for more to come out before I pass judgment on him and his team.

    This discussion has no meaning now, it was a fantastic fight, fighters gave it all and gave props to each other in the end. Period.

    If it gets proven it was all done on purpose Wach should lose a big % of his fight earnings with Wlad and get a 1-2 year ban.
    Again and a lifelong ban would be nice.

    Can you imagine the incredible outrage if Wach's team found that Wlad's right glove had been tempered with?

    Now, can you understand the amount of heat Wach is getting in this thread?

    Wach seemed guilty just with his behavior; just IMAGINE if the same thing happened with Wladimir, can you just IMAGINE how much **** would be flying right now????!!!

    These kind of things are dangerous, and wach's trainer is a total dick; probably even Wach is a total dick, watching that video;
    Last but not least, NOW I UNDERSTAND why Waldo putted more power punches in Wach's dick head than in anyone else he has fought so far;
    Since that dirty trick could have seriously injured Waldo, even end his career or killed him, i hope that Wach will never full recover from the huge, terrible punishment he took;

    i hope he'll collapse and go to the hospital like happened to other past fighters.
    Ban that ****er Wach and his entire criminal team.

    It is a shame Vitaly didn't started kickboxing heads off.

    Too much jumping on a bandwagon here.

    Good spot by the TS but there is still far too much unknown.

    Were officials present in Wach's dressing room at all times? If yes, then how did the Wach team remove padding from the glove?

    Were the gloves given on the night or chosen by Wach's team? If given, how did the Wach team tamper with the padding?

    If the gloves were not chosen, there is also the possibility that the level of padding already simply differentiated between the gloves. This is a definite possibility.

    Even if there is evidence of the padding being removed by intent, where is the evidence of this being Wach's decision, or his intention, given it is not he but his trainer responsible for the wrapping of hands etc. The most that could be pinned on Wach would be negligence.

    So many questions. And a big one worth asking is, why hasn't the Klitschko team or an official made more of this? Tampering with glove padding and/or handwraps is worthy of a ban of indefinite length, it surprises me there is absolutely nothing more on this matter in the public domain.
