Boxing Insedant

[tillylamp 1,899]

i was watching a world title fight last night between, Gonzalez and Arroyo, an the most bazaar thing happened....Arroyo boot sole became unstuck, eventually, it completely fell off, but he had to continue to fight until it did, he kept on pointing to it, to the ref, but the ref didn't acknowledge it, plus he wasn't allowed to change it...(by the looks of it)...at the end of the round, he had to put tape around it to continue....so...he had to fight with a taped up boot and no sole, you could see it was affecting his fight, as he was aware of it, wouldn't you have thought, he should have been aloud to change it?

 

when the commentators where talking about it, one of them mention...if it had of been a glove, it would have been changed straight away...due to being hit in the head...

now.....do the boxers carry spare gear, like...gloves, boots, shorts etc.....? and should it have been changed as a matter of coarse?

Was it just the sole that was affected, or was the upper cut?

 

Badum tish!

Boots take a bit of breaking in and aren't prone to falling apart,so I doubt he'd have another pair ready to go.

Sounds like he'd have been better off goin bare foot.

yeah...i must admit, you don't normally see any wardrobe malfunctions in boxing....apparently there is no protocol in place for this situation, it's up to the referee's decision, even if he had a spare pair, i don't think the ref would have let him change them anyway,

as for bare footed, i think i would be worried the other one would tread on them..............

I remember seeing this fight a few months back?...commentators said something like someones getting sued in the morning...not a good advert for them boots

Not a wardrobe malfunction...but as funny as f**k when Paulie Malignaggi had his hair in them long poofy braids...they got in his eyes cause allsorts of problems...his corner had to hack them off with scissors between rounds!

you would had thought, he should have known better than wearing lose braids into a boxing match.......perhaps he thought he was in a fashion parade......

Haye wore a pair of trainers when he fought chisora lol

 

i suppose it's what you feel comfortable in really.......but boots would give more support to the ankle tho, didn't mike tyson always have short boots, just above the ankle

Tysons black shorts and short boots look was more about looking like Jack Dempsey...than ring comfort

saying that though, tyson wouldn't have suited a fancy coloured pair of shorts and longer boots, and a fancy robe on the ring entrance......

but to be honest, i'd rather see the plainer look like tysons, rather than the gay look with all the sequin robes with tassels, there was a match on the other night, where the boxers had pink/white gloves, with the shorts to match.... men in pink...thats a big no no for me,
