Rosado claims 3G tampered with gloves

[Ron Swanson]

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.

I hope this is not true, opponents will be closely observing him from now on.

[J_Undisputed]

Its all posturing for posturing's sake to preserve his ego. Like when he was in the ring with Quillen and kept eating jabs but didnt want to look clueless so he lands one punch and starts fainting and dropping his hands and trying to bait Quillen while hes still out of range. He got some cheers and a little fan support but it didn't change the fact that he landed one punch did a victory dance while not throwing anything for about 20 seconds when he should have been attacking a fighter he had second guessing...

I'm not a fan of either guy, however Rosado could have gotten some work done against quillen if he used his footwork, and faints and counters better. Quillen is as stiff legged as they come...

[Beanflicker]

It was a bad play by Rosado all around, because unless you have some substantiating evidence, you're just going to sound like a sore loser. Very bad timing, as I'm sure he gained a lot of fan support coming off a real impressive showing.

Exactly, stop whining and worry about the good fight you just lost, gun for a rematch, whatever.

The kid comes across as genuine to me but as everyone is pointing out the timing is suspect. Sure he was offered the gloves and refused but as devils advocate conspiracy theorists might claim that was a bluff and it worked since Rosado did not take him up on it.

My problem is that if he had a figurative feeling prior to the fight then he must have had a literal feeling both during and after the fight. They should have made their case at that very moment like when Collins Sr. shook Restos hands after he essentially killed his son. There was ample opportunity to lodge a protest and demand to have the gloves weighed and guts checked. In addition they could have checked the gloves again while they witnessed the hands being wrapped.

I agree, and it's a sad fact but it's a reality that in boxing you really have to be proactive in protecting yourself out there. Because the majority of the athletic commisions are completely useless.

Who's to say how many people use doctored gloves and get away with it? To think, the athletic commision let Resto go out there and nearly kill Collins, and he would have gotten away with it free if it wasn't for Collins Sr shaking Resto's hand. Margarito would have gone out and used illegal wraps on Mosley if it wasn't for Nazeem having a quick eye and spotting it.

Guys need to be much more vigilant in protecting themselves. If you have suspicions about an opponent, get it sorted out before the fight. Don't come out a year later and complain about it.

God knows these A.C's won't protect you.

Exactly if you were that sure going in then you have nobody to blame but yourself and your crew. Personally if I were fighting at this level I would assume my opponent was cheating. Gloves and hand wraps would be at the top of the food chain. I'd have a guy witness the gloves being put on. It would take a set of balls today to tamper with gloves by pulling some lining out and considering the consequences that would follow. Its so much easier to just use chemistry. Having said that if there was cause for concern I'd check anyway.

You are right about the commissions some being much worse then others. Just look at the glove shaving that is allowed. Its sanctioned cheating.

[Vendettos]

How can you question a pair of gloves that you could have worn if you wanted?

Surely if you tampered with the gloves you would hide them like a rash on your cock?

Stupid.

[walrus]

Is there a follow up with this. Is there sometime of investigation with it. I don't think GGG needs to do such a thing and I think Rosado is is just running his mouth. It is a serious accusation against someone especially with recent tragedies in the ring. I would be pissed if I were GGG.

[FinitoElDinamita]

lol yea like GGG needs extra help to beat Rosado. Rosado is a fuckin crybaby, always with these excuses.

He's a C level fighter..
