A Side Picks the Gloves

Picking opponents gloves is gay. It's the equivalent of the most popular kid in school fighting some unknown kid and setting up rules to put the other one at a disadvantage. If you have any self respect, don't you want to know that you're the best without trying to gain an advantage?

Didn't Mayweather find a way to win when demands were over him against Oscar??? This is why you need to be versatile in boxing-it's not JUST about power-it is also about skill.

[QUOTEif SintilatingDTS;14904643]Amen. Floyd is always telling reporters that they need to do their research. He just discovered horse hair? Give me a break. By the way, those custom gloves did look a little thin on padding, so if those were thrown out in favor of stock MX I would not have a problem. To say that is why people are dying though was ridiculous.[/QUOTE]
Well, if Sr, Ellerbe, and Floyd are all squeezing on the custom glove, yeah you would push back the front padding, but they were successful in throwing that glove out, but to throw a tantrum hissy fit and threaten to cancel a fight at the 11th hour about the comissioned approved stock glove and yeah saying people are dying is straight bush leaague in my book. I just don't see how you can put guys like Ali, Sugar Ray, Oscar in the middle of this madness to justify this a side calls all the shots point.

This is not a new subject like you guys think....Is Maidana really that crap that he can only win with a special pair of gloves? Can't he win by dominating rounds or having a higher output, or being an effective aggressor??? Can't he score ko's without a specific glove???? He has been training with powerlock gloves-can't he get a win over opponents otherwise????

Originally posted by El-blanco View PostYes, if they did it, then they're all *****es. Maidana wins fight due to his aggression and power, limiting his power with a glove is a ***** move.
Why doesn't he have power when he switches gloves? Floyd was snapping his head silly wearing these supposed pillows.
A lot of you guys were saying Maidana won that fight with these SAME gloves, but they are somehow a disadvantage????
The glove issue is repetitive and blown out of proportion...are you telling me that nobody has scored ko's with powerlock gloves????

On one hand you say all fighters should have one set of rules,but choose to nag exclusively about one guy....it's transparent.
BTW, I'm waiting your reply for the set of questions I asked you earlier =)
Here's a new question-
Would you have a problem if both guys had to wear the MX gloves?Last edited by damned1974; 09-01-2014, 08:57 PM.
