    I don´t mean steroids usage.... and not over the top criminal **** like putting stuff on your gloves like Luis Resto...

    I mean stuff like Angelo Dundee did to Ali´s gloves against Henry Cooper after that knockdown...


    Do you remember any other cheating stuff like that ??

    Some heavyweight bit a guy’s ear off in a fight. I forget the details.

    You mean like Juan Coggi's cornerman being allowed to stand on the ring apron gripping Coggi's waistband so he doesn't fall over during his first bout with Eder Gonzalez? And I haven't even gotten to the referee and the timekeeper.

    Miguel Lora was given some kind of illegal substance in his water in between rounds against Alberto Davila in their second fight, very similar to Aaron Pryor when he fought Arguello. For some reason they never disqualified Lora for it.

    He also landed as many elbows as gloves in that fight.

    How about this? I can use the laces of your glove- by crossing the laces up by the knuckles then pulling them tight and down to the wrist- to move the padding off the knuckles. Then wrap tape around the glove to keep it there.

    Spitting out your mouthguard to buy more time after a knockdown is "savvy veteran cheating". Corrales famously did it against Castillo the first time. Recently Navarette did it against Liam Wilson. It's infuriating to watch.

    Putting an opponents underwear in the opposite corner, bundled in a towel and having the fighter blow his nose between rounds into the towel. And the poor guy faints between rounds from skid marks and all.

    Aaron Pryors mixed bottle against Arguello is the most obvious. Also that pos Rock Newman grabbing Riddick Bowes opponent from behind and Bowe teeing off on the dude.

    That was not cheating. That was a dumb move by a guy with his emotions all over the place. And he lost the fight and it was embarassing.

    Yes, that type of example I am looking for. That was terrible lol in the rematch that was sahdy business too, they ****ed up with Gonzalez travel documents and he had nowhere to sleep (or something like that, I forgot the details but it was some bad stuff too that made him go to the fight totally unrested).
