    You can't make Crawford interesting, even with this conspiracy theory. :sisi2:

    What the, no wonder? Team Spence should be wary.

    What came out? Plaster, cement, nothing? Plus they didn't split where there was a seam. If the seams came apart on both gloves then you could suspect tampering.

    The decision was in the refs hands. He obviously felt that the gloves were safe enough for Crawford and David at that time so he let the fight continue. I think he did the right thing at that time.

    It ain't the gloves that Team Spence needs to worry about. Believe that.

    I have not and I must have seen over a thousand boxing matches. It's suspicious say the least for Crawford.

    It’s really strange how “boxing fans” go to all means necessary to defend the sport as if it’s not massively corrupt

    Freak occurrence if it happens again then people should question it.

    C'mon. Why would Crawford risk loading his gloves against this guy and getting caught?

    Mike Tyson mentioned that before fights he would try to wear the fightgloves out in the locker room. I suspect that this is a product of something similar intended to give Crawford an advantage. Poor fabrication of the gloves plus an attempt to soften them up produced this result.

    You're right. I just looked them up and they are. But leather doesn't just split like that. One glove, okay, MAYBE in a freak scenario? But both? Something's rotten in Omaha.
