Re: Were Kovalevs hand wraps loaded against Chimbela..?
"Abdusalamov, 33, sustained extensive brain injuries following the bout against Perez. He had surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain and was in a coma for several weeks afterwards. Now, more than nine months after the fight, he is confined to a rehabilitation facility in New York State and doctors are uncertain whether he will speak or walk again.
Kovalev, 31, won the third defense of his WBO Light Heavyweight Title on August 2nd against Caparello at Revel Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ. His eBay auction includes his fight-worn/autographed gloves, his signature fight-worn Krusher shoes and his fight-worn/autographed hand wraps from his fight with Caparello.
About the auction Sergey said, “I trained with Magomed. He is my friend and a good man. This is tragedy. I just want to help him and his family.”

-Call me a cynic but i doubt a guy with loaded hand wraps would be selling the evidence on ebay... but that's just me other people may feel the need to preload an excuse if ward gets KO'd (i have ward winning at this point by hug and slug).
-If chilemba was the victim of loaded wraps it would be pretty obvious with the shots he got hit with and would have been down before he was. But i'm also a skeptic on margarito cotto.. because cotto looked equally jacked after pacquiao and tends to mark easy and when you get hit with as many punches as he got hit with straight down the middle by margarito, your head is gonna look like chop meat.
- As for kovalev, If you were going to cheat why fight many of your biggest fights in your oppositions backyard, where they probably crawl up your @$$ with a microscope before the fights and you probably are more likely to be cheated by officials trying to protect the local attraction/economy.
As far as the claim that he never removed his gloves in the last five fights. Its on the hbo video that he did after hopkins and the ref raised his hand while wearing the wraps. And he gave Stevenson the finger while wearing the wraps. i'm pretty sure you can find him ungloved for the others.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
