Just listen to this Cocky Cunt!
This is why I can't stand him, believes his own damn hype
Please put someone who can punch back against him so he can shut his lisping big mouth!
Why don't these idiotic fools take a page out of Hattons or Klitchskos book and learn to be polite and respectful instead of coming across as some uneducated street rats.
Are you serious? Man... You need to get a grip on reality. You must be mental, because this was a good interview. He was respectful, confident, and humble. Keith is a good dude & is passionate about the sweet science.
Can't remember a fighter as annoying as this fool Amir. Khan should go avenge his thrashing from Danny Garcia, or fight his lil bro Kell Crook, or fight one of the young lions ie, Thurman or Porter instead of begging for a Floyd butt wooping.
haven't followed the gloves issue in detail but from what i've read i thought the blue one was exactly the same in padding as the red one which was approved by the NSAC.
^^^This is exactly correct.
At the end of the day TMT did not want Maidana to wear any of the "punchers" type gloves (Everlast MX or Cleto Reyes). They wanted to sapp Maidana's punching power by having him wear heavily padded "pillows" which in the end they were successful. Maidana ended up having to wear the Everlast powerlock model designed with heavy padding and hand protection in mind.
Powerlock
• Powerlock technology, a defined anatomical foam construction that guides your hand into a natural fist position.
• Compact glove design allows for superior fist closure providing a balance of speed, comfort, and protection while delivering a powerful punch.
• Premium leather ensures long-lasting durability, functionality and performance.
• Competition lace-up gloves.
• Available in 8 OZ, 10 OZ, and 10 OZ XL sizes.
MX
• Premium Mexican Leather maximizes flexibility and wrist comfort.
• Custom horsehair and foam blend allows for optimal power transfer.
• Carefully handcrafted in Mexico for superior quality.
• Competition lace-up gloves.
• Available in 8 OZ and 10 OZ sizes.
Only difference is one if foam and the MX has the custom horsehair blend and better leather.
Yea ok it's always nice to read the back of a box, but... This whole situation was a joke & is a complete non issue for those experienced with boxing gear. You need to try these gloves on. It's night and day.
I'll pass on a rematch. That was an impressive showing by Chino & I'd like to see him face the young lions now & the new crop, or maybe Pac. Can't remember the last time I saw a guy's career take off after losing, but I think thats exactly what is happening with Chino. This fight with Floyd garnered him respect & put quite an impression on everyone. His fights are exciting and he may very well be a big draw now. I think he gives anyone in the WW division hell. & with Mayweather and Pac retiring soon, he can possibly take over at the rate he has improved under the guidance of Garcia. At 30 he's got a few years to do some major damage if he wants to.
what's the point of bringing up what gloves were not approved by nsac? the fact still remains that floyd didn't allow maidana to wear even the ones approved by nsac.
besides, it could very well be that those initial gloves got disapproved by nsac when floyd started complaining. if nsac approved those kind of gloves before or will approve it in the future then it is so obvious that they just tried to accomodate floyd's complaints.
a big b itch move by floyd no matter how you spin it.
^^^Right on point. Green for you sir.
Look, how do you flat-out dismiss what someone in the room at the time stated that doesn't have a stake in the argument.
An eyewitness confirmed that the blue custom gloves were not in factory packing, but in saran wrap.
I'm not stating this because I wasn't there .... But someone who manufacture's professional gloves stated this!!!!
This silly thread is massively overdone, lol. Congrats TS!
Props to Garcia for staying strong and cool as ice in this situation. He's got his fighters back to the fullest as well as his sponsor(Everlast). Love how he called out Ellerbe's sweating a$$ & said he smelled something else(it's pu$$y for those of u not getting it), lol.
this is what was originally posted on fightHHype
"Team Mayweather was not pleased with the lack of padding in the Everlast gloves that Team Maidana wanted to use."
"the Commission ruled that the specific gloves that Maidana wanted to use were not acceptable,"
take it up with them not me...................:boxing:
STFU already! You obviously don't know **** about boxing gear... Everlast MX (The type of glove Maidana is going to use) is known as a punchers glove, and although Reyes gloves are the most famous of punchers gloves, Everlast MX is the most dangerous and holds the least padding in the knuckle area (almost non existent) most of the weight is in the thumb, top of hand, and wrist area. Fact is all the approved gloves for Maidana are Everlast MX & doesn't matter which one he chooses really because they are all designed to have the same damaging effect. Team Mayweather ain't accusing Maidana of tampering!!! He's against him using Everlast MX gloves. Too bad though, it's a go and they have been approved.
Hopefully Maidana isn't forced to wear pillows tomorrow night (AKA - Winning gloves). I remember Angel Manfredy saying how he was forced to wear gloves that didn't even fit right and could not make a fist with just moments before stepping in the ring with Floyd... Boxing tactics. The fight has already begun.
For Maidana's power punching style the only 2 gloves that make sense are:
Cleto Reyes
or
Everlast MX
Half of all fights I see now are using Everlast MX. Glove brand and model is something that is settled during negotiations. This is straight up posturing on TMT's part.
what if team maidana said "fck the everlast and grants, we goin with clitoris gloves!"
Agreed. He should wear Cleto Reyes, the true punchers glove. But he's sponsored by Everlast.
they said that specific pair he couldn't use as it had no padding
chino the cheater on ariza shakes
Specific pair? Lol another fool with no knowledge of boxing gear. All Everlast MX pro fight gloves are designed the same way. With almost non existent padding in the knuckle area. They are designed for power punchers to inflict damage. Hence the reason why they fall in the category of "punchers glove". Formerly Cleto Reyes and now Everlast MX. TMT is against Maidana using a perfect commission approved pair of gloves and wants him to put on pillows (Winning or Grant). Silly since glove brand and type are always worked out during negotiations. You deserve mass neg for your ignorance.
Guys, all part of Floyd's desperate move to get people to pay and watch his fight... possible last fight, parting with girlfriend, buying Clippers, etc.
Very likely. I see this opinion as being the closest to the truth. But I gotta admit all the hype lately is gettin me excited lol. Glad the bar down the street is showing it for free!
all the money floyd has and his "0" can't get him the love of an entire country......when is the last time a parade of people cheered on floyd after a win? maidana is loved by an entire country....floyd pays people to love him......and gets bashed by fellow americans for ducking pacquiao........
For as much as I respect Floyd's sublime skills in the ring, this is sadly the real truth. Green for you sir.
there's only one parade fraud can participate in... gay pride parade. :notworthy
Doubt he would ever attend that, but from what peeps in the industry been saying for years you never know. He's possibly the greatest (closet)gay athlete of all time.
Winner of Porter-Brook?
Thurman?
Garcia at 147?
I don't think after only one fight at 147, and not having come from 140 with a title, he should be next up for Mayweather.
However, with a win over one of those guys, it could be argued that he would have as good a case as anyone.
Or, if not one of those, who?
Yea definitely one of the names you mentioned. He loses to any of them.
TS is a queeer. Red K him everyone. Not a man of his word. Ill let the bet forum know so he can never make a real bet again.
Totally agree. Lets get this done.
PurePugilist216 - "If Canelo wins tonight I'll retire here for good
He's overrated and hype, Lara isn't that great himself but he puts guys like Canelo in the dirt."
LOL. Time to say your goodbye's. Que the music. Own up to your words.
I will not jump into conclusions and start immature name calling like "Oscroid de la HGH" because these accusations are baseless. :biggthump:biggthump:biggthump
lol!!! nice one haha:trink26:
