Floyd caught with illegal gloves against Cotto

Francis_M12y ago

He ended up using the same glove design except for the illegal stichings on the thumb area and using genuine leather in the thumb area....

So everybody's a glove specialist now ha? GTFOH Dont have to be a specialist, you just got to have an higher than a dog to understand it was a b1tch move...

12y ago

what a fucking hypocrite fraud the cheater is. dayummm.......... but he is cleaning the sport doe. :lol1:

12y ago

Lots of Floyd fans were glove experts... Now, they just want to move on.

12y ago

This is one of the biggest scandals in boxing. Glovegate 2014.

So everybody's a glove specialist now? GTFOH Lol anyone w commonsense knows Floyd's bs

Here the point... Him and Canelo were not allowed to use those gloves. Why were others allowed to use mx line if they thought it was illegal? Those gloves and the Cleto Reyes are illegal only when a puncher is facing Mayweather, because you know, health comes first doe.

12y ago

Ok and the gloves were changed right? Here the point... Him and Canelo were not allowed to use those gloves. Why were others allowed to use mx line if they thought it was illegal?

Can you post a link,pic,thread anything? Any followup comments now that the link is provided sir?

Floyd getting exposed from gloves, to their play with words.... They tried to pass it off like chino got his way by using a different line of everlast. LOL

12y ago

what a freakin hypocrite Even tho he paid the judges off, he still didn't want Maidana to wear comission approved gloves

12y ago

Was it only maidana not allowed to use the mx line yesterday? Bottom line, Floyd actually tried to use illegal gloves with illegal materials. He then complains about a glove that complies with the rules.... Yeah pretty much, floyd had maidana in everlast powerlock which were pillows compared to mx line.

http://theboxingtribune.com/2012/05/mayweather-alvarez-in-glove-controversy-new-gloves-to-be-flown-in-saturday-morning/ Here's the deal, all fighters were not allowed to use it on that night because the material did not follow NSAC guidelines. I'm not sure why other fighers were still allowed to use the mx line yesterday if they didn't allow maidana to use it.... It's either illegal and should not be used by anyone....
