Jones, Trinidad Glove issue..

[robjr]

I dont understand why each of them cant just wearthe boxing gloves they want.. why do they both need to wear the same brand?????

Since Tito is a puncher I thought he would of picked Reyes (the punchers glove)

But it seems he picked the gloves that Roy least wanted, which is everlast..

Im so used to seeing Roy wear Grants..

Either way, I think by Tito pulling this **** its just going to make it a shorter night for him. All he did was piss Roy off..

Im excited to see Tito get KTFO..

[TopDawg]

Agreed. I like seeing Roy with the Grant gloves. It doesn't matter anyway, Tito's gettin KTFO.

[Benny Leonard]

I thought Tito wore Grant for his fights with Winky and Hopkins.

Not sure Tito has a problem with gloves, which he should...in favor of Reyes.


Gloves need to be smaller anyway: no more than 8 oz.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Those Grant gloves seem a little bigger, but that's just the TV i guess. Didn't Tarver KO Jones with Grant gloves. It seems kind of weird they are arguing over gloves at this point.

[robjr]

Yea if you look at all Roys fights from the past 10+ years.. all he wears is Grants.. So its not too strange for him to want to use them.. Either way, just seems to have made Roy angry.

Jones KO 3..

Why can't Roy wear the gloves he wants? Why does Tito have the say? His ass hasnt fought for damn near 3 years, and hes fought twice in the past 5 almost 6, yet he gets to determine what gloves to wear? He's worn Grants before against Hopkins, Winky, etc, but maybe he doesn't want them cause he got KTFO wearing them?

Grants TKO12 Tito

[Tyson Jones]

Tito wants the more padded everlast, it wont matter though. Tito gets ko'ed sooner now.

[elhijoprodigo]

whatever gloves are used, I don't think they actually determine the outcome of the fight

Grants TKO12 Tito

RJ must have signed a contract designating the gloves to be used. If he did, then he has to live with it. Roy is usually very shrewd about these things so I'd be surprised if he wasn't aware of this.

[elhijoprodigo]

Well, to play devil's advocate, why doesn't Roy just comply with the contract? He should be upset at his lawyer not Tito
