Will Mayweather choose the gloves for Marcos Maidana to wear?

Maidana likes the Everlast puncher's glove. Will Floyd Mayweather let Chino wear those? Or is Chino gonna be given some puffy ass Grant's? Doesn't matter, IMO. Maidana is a puncher no matter what. Sledgehammers in both hands. http://www.boxeomundial.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/maidana-vs-lopez-pelea-jorge-najera.jpg Mayweather chose Victor Ortiz' gloves for him. Ortiz normally wears Cleto Reyes puncher's glove. http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/wblk.com/files/2011/09/mayweather-vs-ortiz.jpg RED K for bias poll.

I remember the Pac-Morales 1. Pac was forced to wear winning gloves instead of reyes gloves because Murad Muhammad (pacs promoter at that time) agreed to stipulation that both fighters should wear winning gloves. the 2nd and the 3rd fight, pac was allowed to use his reyes gloves Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

OP should not have made this thread, he gave Leonard Ellerbe the heads up. We all know Leonard is an avid boxingscene reader.

Deep down I've always liked may weather, but I hope he gets knocked out cold tonight. Fair enough perhaps the blue gloves were a bit thin on the padding, but the reds were perfectly okay. And they even offered to wear CR gloves, but that was refused. Cowards, won't even let maidana have the punchers chance in legal gloves. **** mayweather

Can you spot the difference? Only cowards can. Maybe Mayweather wants Maidana to wear ten-ounce gloves. Leonard Ellerbe was saying how Miguel Cotto's gloves had more padding. Well, of course they did -- they weighed ten ounces. But since the fight is at one forty-seven the gloves weigh eight ounces. Hence why there is less padding than Cotto's Everlasts.

Fear....he is afraid

Gloves won't matter much in the end. With that said, Floyd doesn't really tell fighters what gloves to wear. Unless ppl wanna bring up examples of thism :lol1: You called that one wrong, hahaha.

No. Mayweather calls the shots since he is the cash cow/PPV star. Like Maidana's trainer Robert Garcia I smell doubt from Mayweather. Devon Alexander beat Maidana with Maidana wearing the Everlast MX, so why can't Mayweather?

So what would be the difference is Floyd made him wear Grants? I mean, seriously, Floyd's hand problems are well documented as well. But you were upset a few pages ago but you have a nice explanation for Morales. Im not excusing Morales. I think that's bull****. It would be equally bull**** if Mayweather did it. Each boxer should be able to chose what they wear within the rules.

I hear Maidana is going to wear the chancla gloves.

Mayweather chooses the gloves for the fight, Maidana chooses the punch that ends the fight. Even exchange. Great post. Green K.

Someone was saying reyes don't really have any padding over the knuckles. Is that an exaggeration? I have a pair and to me, that's nonsense lol. Obviusly with some bias but it's my favorite brand to use, though I have only used Title/Grant/Everlast other than Reyes.

this mayweather win means absolutely nothing.

Chino doesn't always wear Reyes, he usually trains with Winning gloves and fights with Everlast gloves a lot

First off I said it would be disappointing. Not that Floyd will make him. Secondly, you don't know the circumstances of gloves behind that fight. You have no idea why they were both wearing winning gloves. For all we know Morales wanted it in the contract to both wear winning gloves. Morales has known hand issues from early in his career. So what would be the difference is Floyd made him wear Grants? I mean, seriously, Floyd's hand problems are well documented as well. But you were upset a few pages ago but you have a nice explanation for Morales.

hopefully they use really thin, small reyes maidana's gonna need every advantage possible

Lol, I can imagine some sort of 16oz sparring gloves being made mandatory for Maidana...
