    Hey Scrap you are like an encyclopedia when it comes to boxing i wonder if you can aswer this question that im about to put in bold.

    Thobela allegedly took some of the padding from his gloves which improved his power in the fight with Catley , although it was never proved as such , it was evident in the pictures taken during the fight.

    I spoke to Glenn about it at the gym a long time ago, he said it felt like being hit in the head by an ashtray. Have to take his word for it, Ive never been hit in the head by Dingaan Thobela or an ashtray
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    There was a similar case when Tyrone Trice took on Julio C Vasquez ,Trice claimed Vasquez had smaller gloves on than him , therefore improving the affect of his punches
    Ive never heard about that with the Catley fight but you never know?He really walked into that one,KO was Brutal.Catley All brass in getting up.
    Now that you mention it Vasquez did always seem to have smallish gloves.Trice for the most part had a thick chin and Vasquez was a ripping puncher.Might explain Vasquezs multiple Knockdowns of solid chinned and defense wiz Winky Wright??
