After seeing how much emphasis/drama the gloves were before the first and now again in the rematch I was curious if anyone knew what other fighters use those same gloves that Maidana uses. Personally I have a few amature fights under my belt and my old coach who I recently spoke with said that there really isn't that much of a diff and it's more so a ploy to get into the guys head b4 the fight
Fair enough, I will personally believe the everlast rep who was there at the time, Floyd was just pulling his bs mind games.
My whole point is that I never thought Maidana tried to cheat by stripping gloves..
Everlast guy is probably 100% correct! but I highly doubt he would ever claim that his company would supply a defective glove, if that was the case..
Either way Floyd is being a diva about these gloves
I'm pretty sure I read it here on boxingscene, in an article.. May have been espn, but the early reports said there was some sort of glove defect.. Afterwards when Floyd complained about the 2nd gloves that was ok'd by commission, that's when the stories leaked out about the Maidana camp stripping the gloves. But there was no investigation, suspension, hearings, etc. which leads me to believe the first defective glove story.. My suspicion is that the only defect was they weren't in the original plastic, that's about the only legit detail that has come out about the defective gloves

What source reported the gloves as being defected?
My understanding of the issue was that both of the gloves were the same and the only difference was the color.
That is what the everlast rep who was present at the meeting said.

Whats so hard to understand that they tried to cheat him by removing padding from the gloves , would you be obliging to people wishes that try that in a professional fight .
Floyd let Cotto use MX gloves its got nothing to do with the MX gloves and a awful lot to do with what they tried to do .
i am so misinformed. i thought the drama was during the glove selection process where the glove brand representative would bring the gloves on the table where both teams would select gloves and inspect each other choice gloves. im not aware that the gloves are brought in a secluded place. how dare maidana remove the padding.
The first had been tampered with they werent in original packaging i recall them saying they were wrapped in plastic wrap u use in the kitchen - that was the first red flag gloves shoulda be opened in front of everyone - after that debacle floyd say no to the MX
Its simple, Floyd has fought other fighters with that brand of glove. Unfortunately the initial glove tested was just probably a bad one in the batch(not approved by commission) at that point he made his mind up that he wasn't allowing them to use the gloves(bs...sure).
I don't agree with Floyd's position on this, but what's done is done. They keep talking about it over and over......find another pair and go kick his ass, instead of crying about that specific glove every other day.
Really are you sure about that... Are you sure it wasnt a manufacturing defect..
Thats what it was reported as....
Who got suspended for cheating, who got fined.... I will wait,,
your an idiot

Floyd vs. Pac 2015:
Pac: Whatdapack is that?!
Floyd (standing on top of Metal Gear): What? I'm the A-Side so I get to use Metal Gear. Either I use Metal Gear, or no fight.
Floyd worshippers: He da A-Side so he can do wuteva he wants

Y'all don't know about Marcos Maidana's Metal Gear stealth skills. He stole the gloves, cut them open, took out all the padding and replaced it with a special concrete that still feels like padding, and repackaged them without anyone knowing.

Could you be any more ignorant and stupid?
So Maidana and his team took the padding out of the gloves and presented them in front of Floyd's camp, with media outlets around mind you, and thought they'd get away with it? They were ready to put their and Everlast's reputation on the line in hopes that nobody around would notice these pad-less gloves? :chairshot Meanwhile, Maidana received no suspension or even a warning for attempting to "cheat"?
:haha: :haha:
