has no issue with Mike wearing Grant gloves. We're just hoping the commission agrees. But
we're not going to wear a glove that doesn't fit. That's out. We'll tell the commission
there won't be a fight. If they're going to ask us to wear a glove that doesn't fit, I can
assure you this kid is not going in the ring. We're not going to risk getting his hands
broken with a bad glove."
