Kevin Cunningham, manager and trainer of undisputed welterweight champion Cory Spinks is infuriated at the Missouri Commission for allowing challenger Zab Judah to wear Reyes gloves instead of Grant gloves, the brand Spinks selected.  Traditionally, a champion gets to select the brand of gloves and the challenger must wear the same model. "Since when does the challenger get to wear gloves different than the one's the champion wears?," angrily asked Cunningham, who later added, "Team Spinks isn't happy that two east coast judges have been selected for this fight either."  Meanwhile Spinks weighed in right at the welterweight limit of 147, while Judah scaled in a pound lighter.
