BOXING NeeeeeeeeeDs Smaller GLOVES!!!!

[ELPacman]

MMA, needs smaller gloves so they could properly use their hands on the ground and whatnot during their **** acts. Boxing is all about standup fighting where the contact you make is only your fists. Going 12 hard rds landing on a human skull with small gloves will easily break your hand consistantly with smaller gloves. Not to mention, the damage on that person's skull. To keep boxing a sport rather than a deathmatch, the gloves need to be regulated accordingly. Also in UFC and all those, once your knocked down and hurt it's pretty much over, where as boxing gives you the chance to get back up, increasing your chance of further damage since a knockdown usually causes minor bleeding on the brain.

Larger gloves=less hand/fist injury=more punching=argument closes.
Chao.

you are clueeeeeeeeeeeeeless. its really sad when hardcore boxing fans dont know what they are looking at or seeing.

U hardly care about the fighters safety, and thats just sad and pathetic.

10 ounce gloves are dangerous on supermiddleweights and middleweights. end of story

Lmao a very naive and silly statement from kball.
If there were smaller gloves then there would be more brain damage and hand problems for boxers also many would retire alot earlier to because of all these problems.
Im against smaller gloves.

first of all, a knockdown almost never causes small brain bleeds, and if it does u are in extreme danger.

second of all, boxers used tiny tiny tiny gloves for nearly half a century. Less deaths, less injuries, fighters lived till they were like 90-100. Jake ****ing lamotta is still alive people.

It is MUCH safer. that is one of the reasons MMA uses such small gloves, and the other reason, like u mentioned, they need use of their fingers to wrestle and stuff.

Smaller-gloves, not TINY gloves but smaller gloves, are a lot safter, and make the sport a lot more exciting.

Its win-win-win. No reason not to do it, its these ignorant commisions that are holding it back

yea and ur right. a lot of people don't know what they talkin about in here

Bascially, Smaller gloves do mean more action and possibly less brain damage because the force of the punch is spread more throughout the fist and the opponents face (physics). What it does mean though it ALOT more cuts, bones broken on the face. The incident that Abraham and Willard had to endure would be more common and that just isn't safe.

I suppose the reason more people are for big gloves is that cuts, bones broken are minimised while the increase in risk from brain damage is only increased slightly. So it's a compromise.

yes but cuts and broken bones heal. Brain damage often does not

first of all, that MMA fighter wasn't uFC. Second of all, a japanese boxer died THIS year.

And third of all, MMA fighters don't take as many punches because they get knocked out before they are able to. Not becasue they throw less punches. The only reason less punches are landed is because once u land a certain amount of punches with 4 ounce gloves, the fight is usually over.

U cant take many flush shots with 4 ounce gloves.

With 10 ounce gloves???? forget about it. If u have a decent chin u can take hard shots for 12 rounds solid.

Go back and watch fights from 50 or 60 years ago when boxers were wearing 4 to 6 ounce gloves, 1 punch didn't normally end fights and deaths were more common back then.

That's true but rules were different as well, you could attack an opponent the moment he got up, you can hang on the ropes to keep you up, fights were stopped alost later than if they were held today and they had 15-20 rounds back then.
