Tyson Fury Glove Controversy Becomes Reality Television

Tyson Fury throws a jab at Deontay Wilder in their heavyweight championship boxing match.

Tyson Fury glove controversy is not real. I remember when everyone knew boxing was real, and wrestling was fake. When Andre The Giant put someone in a bearhug you knew it was simply entertainment. When Bruno Sammartino launched himself off the top rope onto a foe on the canvas, it was entertainment. But when Ali threw that fast piston like jab at an opponent you knew it could result in opponent being left unconscious for real.

Tyson Fury glove controversy is not real. Boxing is not real anymore. It’s in the reality television realm now. It is the same as Welcome to the Kardashians (or whatever the name of that show is). Its hip hop Housewifes, Worldstar hip hop, American Idol. When did boxing become this circus? There was honor, belt pride and fairness in boxing. Now it just selfishness, no-shame ducking, and guys throwing belts in the trash for a couple more dollars.

Boxing gloves tampered with like footballs were tampered with. Yeah right!

The whole controversy with the footballs supposedly being purposely deflated was as ridiculous as this whole Tyson Fury glove controversy. Hypothetically even if the footballs were brought down a couple of PSI, would that have made a difference in any of the football games? Would that really impact the outcome of the games? Also, wouldn’t it also effect the opposing team? If we were playing with a sneaker, wouldn’t it be a level playing field? Tom Brady would light up the scoreboard regardless.

Tyson Fury supposedly tampering with the gloves had absolutely no impact on the fight. He would have beat Deontay Wilder even if he was wearing them big gloves the clowns in the circus alwayys wear. It’s a shame a performance like that has to be tarnished because some people just can’t accept the fact that the Bronze Bomber got beat fair and square.

Tyson Fury glove controversy, Is there any officials with anything to say?

Deontay Wilder dressed for success.

When I was fighting, it was always an official present while both camps chose and inspected combatant’s gloves. There are eyes everywhere. Entourage, press personnel, family. Where is the time to do this? The ref during introductions/instruction should be able to see if any hanky panky is going on right? And by the small chance all this gets by EVERYBODY, and the fighters commence to fighting. If the battle causes the gloves to break down and expose knuckle, shouldn’t the bulk of the blame go on the glove manufacturer? It seems everybody is making gear these days. Maybe the blame should be…….ummmm….pointed in another direction? Tyson Fury put on a spectacular show. Let him enjoy the victory.

Win like a champion, Lose like a champion.

Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua.

When Anthony Joshua lost to Andy Ruiz, look at how he took his devastating lost in stride. He didn’t make excuses. He didn’t even let his millions of fans make excuses for him. He behaved like a champion should after a lost. Thomas Hearns got stopped on his feet in a fight he was winning. Yet look at how he sat right beside Leonard at the post fight press conference and showed just how a proud champion takes an L.
