If I could find one of my old posts on this I'd repost it instead of going into it again. Angelo Dundee (who died in 2012) has admitted tampering - deliberately cutting open - Clay's glove after he was knocked down and put on queer street at the end of the round. There was a long delay between the rounds when they sent people out to try to find a new glove for him, 4 or 5 minutes I believe. BUT what they have done now is spliced the tape, edited out the delay, and they are so deceitful about this that when I watched a replay of the fight on ESPN Classic not only did they splice the rounds together but they did not mention one single word about what happened between the rounds and presented it as though one round went into the next in perfectly normal fashion. Deliberate deceit.
Now Angelo Dundee admitted slicing open Clay's glove to buy him time, but what else did he do to the new glove? Was something sharp insrted in it? And why haven't the record books been corrected to show a victory by KO for Cooper in that fight, because that is exactly what it was!? The boxing rules make no provision for cornermen to slice open gloves between rounds to gain extra time for their fighter to recover.
Many other Clay-Ali so-called wins were fixed too.
