Thread: Rosado claims 3G tampered with gloves

He could be juicing but I don't see a guy messing around with his gloves. Gennady Resto lol

Gabriel Rosado suspicious of Gennady Golovkin's gloves - Bad Left Hook

I always find that just when I start to come around on Rosado, I then hear him talk. Based on Why not speak out earlier, didn't want to jeopardize a payday or what?

CEO for Grant response. Stevens will be all over those gloves.

Elvis Grant Phillips, the CEO of Grant Worldwide, hit back at middleweight contender Gabe Rosado for his recent comments related to the gloves used by WBA/IBO champion Gennady Golovkin during their January fight at the Theater in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Rosado, in a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, questioned the nature of the Grant gloves that Golovkin was using. He felt Golovkin was provided with a different type of glove. Rosado took a beating in the fight, which his corner eventually stopped, and Golovin picked up a seventh round TKO victory.

"Some people can't handle a loss, but to come back eight or nine months later and start pointing fingers...it's pretty sad," Phillips told BoxingScene.com.

"He had the opportunity to use the same gloves, to use Golovkin's gloves. Abel Sanchez told them 'if you think something is wrong, then take our gloves and we'll use the backup gloves.' [Rosado's trainer] trainer was trying them and they said 'no, no, no...we'll use our gloves.' So that's why it's really foolish what Rosado said, but karma is a bitch and it came back [to bite him in the Peter Quillin fight].

Grant CEO Rips Rosado Over Golovkin Comments

What an idiot, no word of it until now? And he had a chance to inspect and use the same gloves according to that article. Complete non story.

Why is the CEO of a major company like Grant talking like a thug?

Be interesting to see if guys like Ishida or Macklin jump on board or thank him for a belated heads up. Something tells me they won't. Talking it up is one thing, but suggesting a guy is a cheat is nothing to toss around lightly. Just not too bright.

Is it really a surprise? He's the ceo of a boxing involved company, doubt him talking like a thug is his worst quality. As for rosado coming out with something like this months after the fact just seems like sour grapes

Makes you wonder what's going on in they're heads when they say things--that are better left unsaid.
Leonard comes to mind and now this, I'm scratching my head.

This is one of the annoying things sports fans do "why now", as if it would have been better at any time. If he said it directly after the fight it would have been an excuse in the eyes of fqns. If he said it before the fight happened fans would have said he was looking for a way out/scared.

You don't agree with his question that's fine but nobody has more right than a man who stood in there and faught to ask the question. Whenever he chooses, he earned that right by stepping between the ropes.

Uhm I guess you missed the part where it said that golovkin offered him to wear those gloves and he would wear the backups. I don't care who you are if you genuinely thought your opponent wore tampered gloves you would make a stink right then and there regardless of consequence just like shanes corner did with margarito.

This is exactly my point. We don't know how he felt at the time so we interpret and conject. Why can't what a guy says ever just be how he feels? I don't agree with the guy but I'm not going to go making up his thoughts in my own mind. Sports is less about sport and more about interpretation every day.

Because in this instance its not about how he feels, its about accusing another boxer of wrong doing with apparently no factual claims behind it but just his feelings.

I apologize I am not expressing my point well. And I further apologize that this is going to be a very long explanation.

Sports debate is nolonger about the sport. Its ever changing qualifyers turn everything to mush. In this case it's "why now" as if we know why or is if it matters. It is what it is, it's how he feels. People can agree or disagree. I choose to disagree. But to dismiss his feeling with your choice of qualifyer means you can come to any opinion you choose. That's fine too but there is a false sense in sports debate that the qualifyer is valid.

Take for instance year ago the debate was Chauncey Billups or Steve Nash for MVP. All hard evidence pointed to Chauncey so people said "but Chauncey played with better players so he isn't as valuable". That's a false criteria used to make the claim you choose. Almost every MVP in history proves that qualifyer is irrelevant. But in this pick and choose age that's how it's done and somehow it's deemed right because that was the criterea for that instance.

Look at the year Michigan and Ohio State were #1 and #2 they played a great game and this one time qualifyer was put in that "people don't want to see a rematch". That was the qualifyer that year. What happened to that qualifyer the year LSU rematched Bama. You can make the case Bama and LSU were the best teams but people thought the same about Michigan and Ohio State years before they simply changed criteria. For that matter LSU had a better year than Bama, they played a rougher schedule and won more games and the conference title and Bama only beat them on a neutral field while LSU beat Bama at Bama which is much harder. LSU had a better year in total but the criteria is throw the whole away for the last which is faulty as well.

After all that I still haven't expressed the point well but I'll say he said it he must believe it. Agree or disagree but don't qualify. It's gone too far with sports debate into what athletes think say and do. Has anyone noticed on a boxing forum not one thread on the first page is discussing the boxing aspect of a single boxing match that has happened? It's not this site alone, others are the same. Are we boxing fans or boxer fans? Do we like the sport or the debate?

*3g's been knocking dudes out since the amatuers...he's perfected his craft. Rosado pro says"that muthafka hits toooo hard" well, join the club.
