I thought it was ironic that he finished Rogan with a hook to the lower ribs while his own protector was up to his chest. Why the **** do referees allow that ? It turns the whole sport into something different, fighters with armour all over their mid-section. When they are 6'9 to start with it's just ridiculous.
in the ams we were the lightest ones that one he was wearing was colossial im sure it weighs u down then again he wasnt doing much moving.
As soon as the fight started I was disgusted with boxing. How could no one not correct such a blatent infringement. Cups need to get change in boxing BADLY. They look ridiculous, make the trunks look more ridiculous and are used for blantent cheating. Cups are yet another thing that MMA seems to get right and boxing gets wrong.
They wear cups that protect their balls not their torso. Normal cups like they wear in cricket but with a strap on it.
yeah alot of amas are wearing them theyre much better then them massive groin protectors which i feel like they weigh u down a bit.
'As soon as the fight started I was disgusted with boxing.' i know, i was almost sick with the revulsion at such a thing.atsch and like you said - getting those protectors changed is probably the biggest challenge facing worl boxing at the moment. i can think of no other more serious and pressing problem........:-(
It was illegally high, well above his belly button & closer to his nipples... but Rogan was only headhunting anyway.
Surely it must hamper Fury as well though. Constantly fiddling with it and looking uncomfortable, and he doesn't need anything else distracting him!
