They look a very compact punchers glove.

They are horsehair and grants version of Cletos, they've only been around for awhile, around the time Chavez jr fought lee. I was asking the CEO of grant about them and he said they're punchers gloves. Grants sole purpose was to recreate another classic Mexican glove, which is why his factory is in mexico. Elvis grant told me that
So Golovkins a cheater? Is that what you're saying?
Wait was there a conspiracy in Cotto vs. Margarito I? I'm disproving there's any logic in you using that example. That is what I'm saying. We don't know if Golovkin is cheating. That doesn't mean the facts aren't still as we can see them. That doesn't mean Gabe Rosado isn't right about his suspicions.

I don't lead the subject personally. This place isn't an opportunity for me to propagandize. If Golovkin needs to cheat to knock out the guys he's been facing I feel sorry for us all.
Was the Nevada commission part of the conspiracy in Cotto vs. Margarito I?

Can't have one without the other.

So is the New York State Commission behind this conspiracy as well?

He talked alot of sh*t. Grant didn't make much of a case for himself. Word for word Rosado was more convincing. That to go along with the obvious discrepancy in the appearance of each fighters gloves doesn't help either.

they are wearing different types of gloves. why is that so hard to understand? he didn't say they looked the same as rosado's. he said they looked the same as other grant punchers gloves just different color. rosado was allowed to use the same gloves but he refused and wore the bigger ones. conspiracy!
I watched the video. He said that the only difference with Golovkin's custom gloves is the color.
That is clearly not the case. Unless of course you're blind.

They are different models. Rosado is using normal Grants which offer a lot of hand protection same as Floyd uses these are a punchers glove.
I highly doubt a company as big as Grant would risk getting sued into the ground over making some illegal gloves.
They do look a bit suspect though and smaller & very compact. I wouldn't like to get hit with someone wearing them.

''Grant Professional Fight Gloves. Hard hitting puncher's gloves imported directly from Mexico. Hand stitched from specially tanned leather with a water repellent satin/nylon lining. Layered fibers and foam comprise the knuckle surface.''
They are foam seemingly. I'm not trying to imply anything I really aren't but GGGs look flatter fronted to me and not curved. Maybe the front sort of hinges as you close your hand. Nice glove.
This just makes you realize how idiotic it is for them to inspect and try on the gloves 24 hours (or whatever) before the fight.
They have a 3-month training camp, so why not give them a month to choose their colors / design and have them made, then have the factory make them in month 2, then have them inspected and protected by the commission at the beginning of month 3. You'd have an entire month to examine the gloves and settle any disputes before the fight.
Doesn't make any sense to do it right before the fight.
If rosado has a problem with the gloves, the. Why doesn't he start wearing them.. If they are legal and approved, it would make sense to switch to them
So you complain non stop about the "bums" he's facing but That's not enough, apparently the only way he can beat these bums is by using cheating gloves. Another fine, unbiased thread Dan.
Not at all I legitimately like the gloves and want to know what model they are, I've not seen a pair like them before and love how they appear flatter at the the front. They're a similar to mine but flatter fronted.
Genuinely not trying to say he is cheating or anything, you put the guy in any gloves and he'd still hit like a mule. He was knocking guys into orbit before he switched to those Grants.
Based on that first photo vs. Rosado, he definitely has a point.
I've been the one guy that said all this glove controversy was nonsense, but that first photo shows more of a size discrepancy than the difference between 8oz and 10oz gloves!
The whole horsehair glove excuse is complete nonsense. Cleto Reyes gloves are horsehair and foam, and they look just as bulky as any other glove. The filling just happens to be softer, so you have more force being generated by the impact due to the compression ratio with the surface of the fist. The problem here is that GGG's gloves look extremely compact compared to his opponents'. This would have nothing to do with horsehair being used for padding.
Based on that first photo alone, something is up with his gloves. And I hate to say that.
From Rosado:
"I do believe that his gloves are different than any other fighter that I've fought before. I could tell you that right now. We both fought with Grants, but for whatever reason his Grants were missing a little more cushion on the knuckles. And we had a problem with that, and they said that the gloves were approved ."
" ... When he hit me in the first round, I just felt straight, solid wraps. It wasn't like it was just the impact of the glove. It felt like a little bat hitting the top of my head. So Triple-G's gloves, Grant definitely makes custom gloves for . So Stevens definitely has to look out for that. ... I've never got cut in a fight. Only by a head-butt, which was four years ago. I got cut twice the same eye in the second round . Macklin got cut early in their fight as well. It's just kind of suspect about them gloves."
Golovkin's gloves clearly have less padding.
And now post the owner of the company that makes those gloves response to rosado
