Nazim Richardson has that good eye to catch stuff that just isn't right. He found out that Antonio Margarito had loaded gloves when his fighter Sugar Shane Mosley was about to fight him. Nazim caught it in the dressing room. This time it seems that Nazim is catching more things. While going over the gloves that the fighters are going to wear tomorrow, he noticed it had a plastic covered thumb. The maker of the gloves are Grant. Anytime you have plastic covered thumbs they cause easy cuts and they burn when you get hit by it. Cotto stood firm and said they will not be using it.
Grant will apparently be flying in gloves overnight to the fight. These covered thumbs with be all leather. Not sure how the mix up came about but Nazim had caught the mishap. Some media and fans were wondering if this was pure accident or intentionally. Some have gone as far to say he wore it in the Mayweather vs Mosley fight but Nazim denied it. He would have caught it. Nazim just happened to be looking over the gloves. All four fighters were going to be using this type of glove. Not just Mayweather and Cotto, but also Alvarez and Mosley. Needless to say, it will be resolved by fight time tomorrow. What else could happen?
It's also being reported that after Mosley was 1/2lb overweight he came back after a jog and weighed in at 154lbs. Shane Mosley went on to say that he had a bad scale he was using before he stepped on the official scale. He's good now and he will be fighting Saul Alvarez for this Championship belt tomorrow. Stay tuned.
