It's the way he throws his punches, he has always done that. A person from the commission and a member of Deontay's team have to watch Tyson Fury's hands get wrapped and his gloves being put on, the referee also checks the gloves before the fight begins. This is standard protocol before every fight. Even if Tyson had the padding taken out of his gloves, or if his hands were placed lower than usual, it makes zero sense.
The padding is there to protect the fighter's knuckles, not the opponents face. The people making these conspiracies are clutching at straws, if they've ever been hit in the face by somebody with boxing gloves on they'd know boxing gloves do more damage than bare knuckle. Bare knuckle is actually considered safer in regards to head trauma and pain. The reason they wear wraps and padded gloves to begin with is to ensure the fighter doesn't break his hand.
The arguement that his hand was placed lower in the glove makes zero sense too, how are you doing any damage when hitting somebody like that? He takes him down with a straight and a cross, if his hands were lower in the gloves then there'd be no force behind those shots at all.
It is kind of ridiculous that Deontay is shitting out these excuses over the suit too, even firing Mark Breland who threw in the towel and saved his life. The guy has zero humility. Lost my respect.
