GL: Can you give us some thoughts on the whole glove debacle that took place at MSG last weekend? "It all worked out because it was God's plan and that's the way it was meant to be and at the end of the day, as always, we turned a negative into a positive. Trinidad's father is a nut and the lawyer, they looked for every looked for every little possible thing that they felt was an advantage to them and a disadvantage to the other fighter. I think that it was reallly a classless act on their part to have forced Roy Jones to wear those gloves. He's never fought in them before and after almost 60 fights it was really unfair and only moreso since Trinidad wasn't champion and all of that. It just was really a classless move. Then when Don King tried to mediate with them, he invited Trinidad and them to Roy's suite so they can all sit down like gentleman and work it out and they never showed up. The father and Medina basically blew it off and wouldn't even hear him out."
