MAIDANA: "Gloves THEY FORCED ME TO USE had so MUCH PADDING I couldn't get hand IN"

[bbos]

I agree. Thing is 8 oz. gloves are no joke no matter the brand.

then why all the focus on the gloves??

[Holywarrior]

As a Fioyd fan that was so lame.

and he still arguably beat the p@ssyboy ....

The only people who think Maidana won are on boxing forums. I still haven't found an article or the opinion of any boxer who's screaming Maidana deserved the win. All are saying Maidana fought the perfect fight but fell short. Get over it, he lost to the better man

its their fault entirely. they were only forced to wear those gloves because they didnt have enough back up gloves, a fighter usually chooses at the very least thee pairs of gloves in case his opponent rejects the others. which by the way happens rather often, sick of people pretending this is some new stunt floyd came up with that nobody ever did before.

at the end of the day what really matters is the actual gloves and none of us laid our eyes on them so who knows. hell, most people around here wouldnt even know if they were fine or not if they did get a look at them.

The commission laid their eyes on them and concluded that the red ones were good ..... meaning that they were approved.

Looks like a lot of people found out some of what really happens behind the scenes in a professional fight. Wasn't the first time and will not be the last time gloves are determined by one side. Ask Oscar.

Who would be advising Chino on how to handle the glove situation? Robert Garcia wanted the MX's and the NSAC said the red ones were ok, so who convinced Chino to wear the pillows?

Without putting that condition in the contract? Chino didnīt sign that. It was a ****ty move by TMT

I would pay money for the glove selection process alone if Floyd and Manny ever fought. It would be war in that room Roach would go crazy and mayweather's boys would cry foul on everything. Ive worn Grant,everlast and reyes. There is a reason why Floyd picks grant everyone knows this, Grant gloves are cushioned like crazy and protect the hand so much but the result is a lack of power. Everlast gloves depending on what type are the same thing but how much does anyone want to bet that these were the same type of gloves he used against Broner and floyd got shook. Reyes gloves everyone knows that they are punchers gloves and i have 2 pairs of those.

Everything was signed already in this fight and it was agreed or should I say, there was nothing in the contract to stipulate that Maidana couldn't wear those gloves ...... and the red ones were approved.
