During a fight water can be added to the hands to assist a plaster type mix to form and thats when your outside the ring people come into effect. When I could I would have people watching our opponents corner prepare for the rest bell and watch their actions during the rest. Other than that I can't think of what else can be done. A fighter can certainly tell if the punch "gain impact" during a fight and again the ref can inspect the glove at any time. Ray.
Of course the second should be in for the wraps and glove fitting. That's their job. If I'm a trainer at the elite level, I am taking over that responsibility. Commission staffers dont know how to properly apply a bandaid and these days are probably to busy on the iphone. The guts from Restos gloves were removed after those parties left the dressing room.

Give me a break. This is not 1922. Nobody is loading wraps with fast drying cement powder and then pouring water into and past the glove wrist line. That's ridiculous. Based on that logic we should be refitting gloves and checking the wraps after every round.

You dont whine and snivel 9 months after a fight. You ask to check the gloves in real time just like Collins Sr did.
