Everlast Comes Clean on Terence Crawford’s Busted up Gloves in His Last Fight

In his last fight against David Avanesyan with the WBO World Welterweight title on the line, Terence Crawford sealed a 6th-round knockout win. Yet another terrific performance by ‘The Bud’ saw the 35-year-old snatch his 39th professional win. Despite Avanesyan arriving with a record of only 3 losses and 29 wins, Crawford ruled the ring.

However, going into the sixth round of the fight, Crawford’s Everlast gloves burst open and revealed their padding. Center referee Sparkle Lee temporarily stopped the fight and inspected Crawford’s gloves before allowing him to further continue his run inside the ring. Undoubtedly, this unprecedented “malfunction” raised questions regarding Everlast’s concern and quality.
