@DSDonBeech@stuart_mac84392@BoxingKingdom14@IFLTV Brook refused to change so Khan was refusing to fight, contractually he wasn’t allowed to wear those gloves but he wore the gloves to the ring and then eventually changed gloves. Mistake on Khans team side also as they didn’t realise the gloves was wrong at the glove meeting.
@DSDonBeech@stuart_mac84392@BoxingKingdom14@IFLTV Yeah and If I remember Brook had on Fly gloves and they had been pulled in some fights over water and disintegration during the fight. WBC banned those gloves at the time and they have different rules on the mm padding over the knuckles also to most governing bodies.
@BoxingKingdom14@IFLTV The Everlast Horse Hair gloves are good gloves. The board made changes to the USA version. Horse Hair & Foam versions are in fact more compact, harder & more of a KO glove TBH. They tend to have less knuckle padding.
@stuart_mac84392@BoxingKingdom14@IFLTV Lots of brands have a horse hair glove version. To be fair to the BBBofC the Everlast Horse Hair glove in the UK is different to USA as they made them change it for approval over here. They are no more Dangerous than another glove. What matters most is mm of padding on knuckles.
@IamJayL@BoxeoPats@EverythingBoxi2 The fight is sanctioned which means it comes under BBBofC rules. The gloves BBBofC approved. If certain styles are not to be used that’s at the promoters discretion if duel promoters contractual. Board only step in if they break one of their rules.
@IamJayL@BoxeoPats@EverythingBoxi2 That’s not the board? The gloves are BBBofC approved. It was a stipulation in the contract not to use them that was between the promoters for Khan. In this case Matchroom are saying the contract says BBBofC approved gloves. Eubank will have to check his contract.
@FrankNouble@TUFC1899 You and Dawson turned the team around. Thank you for your efforts in trying to keep us up. Was a great end to the season but not to be… Yesterday was a brilliant game.
