    Nah their materials and corner supplies are checked before going out. It’s nothing but the trainer telling him to stay down. It’s not like he was literally cutting his glove to delay the fight and put smelling salts under his nose to wake him up! Lol

    There have definitely been other instances during a fight or right before that were way more shady as far as cheating goes. The big iv scandal for example.

    I don't think there was any truly nefarious intent, but if a trainer reaches into the ring and grabs his fighter, that constitutes a DQ.

    It's up to the fighter to gather the wherewithal needed to stay down and pick up the count. If Povetkin was trying to rise on his own, the trainer should have let him without yanking him through the ropes in order to instruct him.

    If they were going to put something on his glove then what was to stop them doing it in between rounds.

    After this fight in the interview Ivan Kirpa (trainer) told that after the 1st knockdown he wanted to stop fight in order to avoid serious punches from AJ because Povetkin wasn't able to defend himself.

    The trainer was simply trying to protect a 40 year old man from getting beat by a man a decade younger, whom would have lost to said 40 year old man had he been a decade younger.

    Cool story.

    Now that you’ve showed everyone how clever and creative you are, care to answer my question?

    I'd be here writing paragraphs upon paragraphs such is the amount of discrepancies in that piece of fiction. My post would be so long that you'd likely not bother reading it all and all would be in vain.

    Oh you sir, over there with the yellow hat, 375k! 375k for that gentleman with the yellow hat! 400, do we have 400?

    He was just concerned for his fighters wellbeing.

    Yet you’ve written two posts already not even slightly touching the subject in question.

    I’m not impressed by your “sense of humour” by the way, you can spend that extra effort where it’ll be of use.

    Lay off the cannabis, you will have lost your last half dozen brain cells before you know it, bro.

    Don't smoke, mainly because I have little to no money. Don't have any issues with people that do. As for the THC cannabis oil, that has cured hundreds of people's terminal illnesses. People who've been told to effectively go home and die. I personally know someone who received the benefits of the aforementioned oil when battling cancer.

    What a wonderful plant.

    What an irrelevant rant.
