Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Did research on it just now, and yes he did let Cotto wear the Everlast MX gloves, BUT he made Cotto use 10 oz gloves for the fight instead of the standard 8 oz gloves that's used at the 154 weight limit


Boxing really is a business brehs


Floyd can beat Cotto anyways, regardless the weight, but he's winning the fights before even entering the ring.....he's winning them at the negotiations table.


10 oz gloves Floyd?


He's neutralizing people's power like you said

All fights at 154 are 10oz gloves breh

All fights at 154 are 10oz gloves breh

what are heavywieghts?

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Floyd N Ellerbe were pushing for 8oz gloves for Cotto...there's numerous videos N articles bout it

Floyd wanted to use 8 oz gloves against DLH and Canelo too.

i would have to agree with floyds demands though

his fights offer too much money

I would too breh nobody is turning down a Mayweather fight.

But Maidana is a complete idiot if he steps into the ring again with Floyds gloves.

exactly. thats the point u new nikkas is missing. how many fights have Maidana fought with Reyes gloves? did he KO old ass Morales? did he KO Alexander? did he KO Khan? did he KO Kotelnik?

well ok then *roger mayweather voice*

and please dont compare this rematch with a muscle depleted RJJ who was an average at best defensive fighter (technically) against the naturally bigger Tarver. Floyd aint gettin KOed by MM with one punch....I dont give a fukk if he got on King Kong gloves.

Floyd aint lettin the nikka wear the gloves because he is Floyd. the gap in skill doesnt close considerably with a glove change. I am not arguing the bithmade tactics. I am debating the fact that this change will adversely affect the outcome of the fight.

he has no choice. if he couldnt beat him with Grants its doubtful he does it with Reyes. stop coming up with this bullshyt. u nikkas need to stop handicapping this shyt like Floyd takes an automatic L if this nikka wears an approved glove. if Maidana wins...it wont be because of the gloves...it will be because he is able to do it tactically.

 

[surv2syn]

Well they were saying the Maidana gloves were tampered with-- but anyway Ive always felt this, Floyd uses little tactics to pad himself

Just like how he hates them Cleto Reyes gloves and tries to force them pillowpad Grant gloves on KO artists. Nobody else does that bullshyt, Hes lucky as fukk he pulled that same bullshyt on Shane

here is the real talk though....Floyd paid MM to wear those gloves. if MM refuses to sell out this time, he can wear what the fukk he wants. why you clowning Floyd for his tactics when MM is whoring himself over a fukking glove?

 

[surv2syn]

Maidana's not a big puncher?


Gloves matter alot breh.....why else do you think Floyd wont let him wear approved MX and Reyes gloves?

breh....you an Andre Ward stan. u tha last mf need to be in here criticizing another fighter about concessions

if the gloves didnt matter than floyd wouldnt care... u just dont get it... looks like you have a agenda going on.

Fighting in Oakland is equivalent to making sure the opponent you facing, who's known as a big puncher, fights in sparring gloves.....effectively neutralizing his power

Youre talking in circles. First they dont matter but then you got Floyd paying him 1.5 million dollars to choose another glove. Its a Nevada State Athletic Commission approved glove. Not only that, its a glove already widely used in the sport. Foyd doesnt want it cause hes trying to kill any advantage at the table ensuring him a victory, period.


You have no idea what youre talking about. This is very important because they threatened to kill the fight over the gloves.

I actually box, and the construction of Reyes gloves are very different than Grants. Grants have majority of the padding in the front by the knuckle and by design are meant to protect the hand by muffling the impact (which is why floyd uses them so much with his humpty dumpty fists)

Reyes the padding is distributed more evenly and acts as a handwrap (keeping the bones of the hand together to prevent it from breaking)


At the conference Floyd tried to bet him the fight purse, Maidanas manager said let him use his gloves we will take that bet, Floyd completely ignored that then claimed "I thought so! I pulled your hoe card"

This aint what he want

Cause a finished DLH is a fighter whos power you should be worried about
