For prizefighting

Light blue gloves: worst

White Gloves: Second worst

Red Gloves: Good

Black gloves: best

I actually saw an item in Boxing News where they said some commission or other was looking into the colours of gloves as some could be registered on the eye more than others. Presumably they meant a red glove would be less potentially hazardous than, say, I dunno, a yellow glove, as you'd see it coming and take the punch better?

Would these gloves affect temperature greatly, I wonder? Your top choice being warmest, white coldest?



Coming up next: someone posts "yo dis fred sux fuk yoos."

white gloves make u look faster. apparently black gloves more difficult to pick up with the eye. amateurs wear different color gloves 2 each other, so color shouldnt matter 2 much.

Just from the perspective of watching a fight as a spectator I prefer when boxers use black or red gloves to especially light blue or white.

Transparent gloves are the best. Makes the opponent see your wrapped fists coming at him for more of a psychological effect.

What about white with a blood-stained effect that you add to between rounds? That would **** somebody up.

Pretender, are you crashing on my turf?

I saw a boxing match once and this guy was wearing these transparent trunks and they got all wet and you could see through them and ****, could see his balls hanging out, it was ****ing wierd. No joke. The commentator said "well this is the first x rated boxing match in history" or something to that extent.

No, I did not even have a chance to be gay, I was like 9 or something when it happened. It didnt really bother me, it was just wierd.

probably for girls like the one you have in your avatar they do, to make poses for Playboy, but probably not in a regular prizefight, maybe in mudwrestling match or something at some strip bar.

Yes they do. There is a guy I've seen who wears pink gloves, pink shorts and pink headgear. Needless to say people call him Pinky :D

I was going to ask. because I would like to sport pink gloves and magenta shorts. That would release some sort of pheromone trigger in every ring card girl who works fights.
