But but the gloves were illegal doe. Its amazing how people don't try to understand facts before postulating theories and making their minds up. Its like the margarito handwrap scandal i can guarantee you that 98% off people still don't clearly understand the facts as they happened but yet they have strong opinions and are quick to brand him a cheater.
The commission approved the red gloves, but Floyd still complained.
You never fought a day in your life but you gonna call Floyd a coward?
Of course you didn't have a problem with the gloves because you was not gonna be the one getting hit with them lol.
The gloves had no padding
All the Everlast MX and the Cleto Reyes were defective and had no padding, yeah sure. Floyd is a big coward.
It was custom made by Everlast, not some random dude on the street. And the only that was custom was the paint job. Otherwise it was a standard MX glove.
Floyd signed the contract for that issue. Maidana was told friday night.
These are the two most relevant points here. The gloves came from Everlast, not from Garcia's trunk or something. The Maidana camp didn't put up a fight about the custom gloves after the commission rejected them. The Mayweather team just decided to be a bunch a d1cks 24 hours before the fight. From the standpoint of a boxing fan, I don't see what there is to defend here. This was total bush league.
He did lose 7-5 but you clowns act like him not letting Maidana wear the commission approved red MX gloves is no big deal.
if u read my comments i said midana and his team were wrong for the blue pair of gloves and floyd was wrong for tripping on any gloves which were approved it is to my knowledge that the blue ones were not approved, so the fact that gloves which were not approved were presented should be brought up as well as floyd and his team being biyyytches about the others
I was sure that Floyd was going to win the fight, and I am even sure that Floyd can defeat Maidana even with his usual puncher gloves. But that ****ty movement with the gloves, and banning the gloves approved by the commission is shameful and the worst thing that I have seen in years, and for me it proves that Floyd is a big coward.
Also I am beginning to realize that Floyd's fan can defend anything that he does, fanboys are the worst.

The gloves had no padding
Since when did defending your pitbull or your dog in the race become a problem in this doggy dog world?!?....stop b1tching!!
Like I said before, Floyd and his fans get too much attention.....way too much imo
So did anybody see the gloves he was trying to wear?
The **** didn't have padding.
Floyd never picks guys gloves. Thats why it was in the contract that Maidana could wear what he wanted.
That doesn't mean you can show up with gloves with limited padding in them lol.
SMDH
Wait, so when Oscar De La Hoya chose Mayweather's gloves when they fought noone says anything about it, but when Floyd does it, it becomes the reason that he won the fight? wtf?
I guess we're supposed to believe that stuff like this has never happened in the history of boxing?
Floyd signed the contract for that issue. Maidana was told friday night.
it's one thing to try to maximize your chances of winning within the confines of the rules, it's another thing to cheat. Maidana had gloves that met the weight requirement so they were legal. Margarito had plaster of paris in the gauze of his glove that would have hardened into a cast with the accumulation of sweat as the fight progressed. Not only is that illegal in terms of fair play, that's borderline criminal. Maidana was looking for an advantage within the confines of the rules, Margarito was trying to get away with cheating.
Entirely false. If it was plaster of paris it would have crumbled. But don't let science or facts get in your way.
that's not much of an excuse. What I will say is that it seems from numerous reports like the Nevada state athletic commission also did not approve of the glove choices saying that redistribution of weight gave too much padding to the wrists and not enough on the knuckles. This was a custom-made glove, and that's hard to trust. This issue should have been sussed out days if not weeks before the fight, but safety is first and apparently Mayweather wasn't the only one who had a problem with the padding on the gloves***8212;the commission took issue as well.
Floyds fighter used the same glove friday night though.

smh you guys are doing tooooo much but its expected.. midana lost the fight lol he did a god job and won 5 rounds... those blue gloves were a disgrace and none of u clowns even give a damn you act as if that wasnt a part of the whole equation
Well if he wanted a safe opponent, he should have fought khan...lol
smh you guys are doing tooooo much but its expected.. midana lost the fight lol he did a god job and won 5 rounds... those blue gloves were a disgrace and none of u clowns even give a damn you act as if that wasnt a part of the whole equation
He did lose 7-5 but you clowns act like him not letting Maidana wear the commission approved red MX gloves is no big deal.
After reading this seems like fmj should retire. Too concerned about getting hit hard imo.

yea you're right and when margacheato was using the plaster who was nazeem richardson to tell him off right?? Let people cheat it doesn't matter if he kills the other person..the same with maidana..who cares if he used gloves with nearly no padding..you people are retarded..if that happened with any of pookyquiaos opponents pook-turds would commit suicide because of the injustice lol

Tard much, are we?
Maidana using gloves with no padding? He had red Everlast MX, approved by the comision to use and exact same as Floyds own fighters use.
Im. A Floyd fan, and I get it's a mind game and he's A side but if not in the contract and gloves are commissioned approved Maidana should have had his gloves. I think it was of ***** move
dude..
looking at your opponents gloves before a fight is something that happens before every match. the entire purpose of this is that each fighter can inspect the other guys gloves and potentially protest what they would otherwise wear.
its not rare at all for fighters to reject their opponents gloves before the fight forcing them to switch. people just dont make a big deal out of it because it isnt really a big deal, unless floyd is involved. when floyd is involved its always a big deal and if you can somehow twist things to make him look bad then people will do just that.
in reality this is really a non issue, the only story is that team maidana hadnt picked a back up pair before hand in case this would happen.
stop spreading false information. they had several commission approved stock everlast mx gloves and even a pair of cleto reyes. leonard ellerbe said no to every single one because a legit puncher was about to wear them... not because the custom blue ones were defective or tampered with. marquez, guerrero and tmt fighters are ok to wear puncher's gloves doe
And it doesn't help that most floyd/broner fans get their daily news as it relates to them from here.

can someone try and embed it please. Its basically worldstar hiphop trying to insinuate maidana is a cheater.
How in the hell you know where people get their news from? You sound like a political bigot.
