[T-97]

Can you stop that **** its pretty ****ing annoying.

I already asked him earlier. He was too busy telling everyone that disagrees with him that they know nothing......

The most brutal KO I've ever seen, don't watch if you're squeamish. Griffith-Paret 3.



You can't tell me that was bad technique.

Didnt the guy die that night?

Gloves were enlarged due to deaths in the ring. Their size is perfectly fine.

I bet you you'll still change your opinion even getting hit with 10 oz gloves. Listen man, I've sparred with 16 oz gloves and they still hurt like hell, i can only imagine 8 oz gloves or 4 oz gloves. Boxing wouldnt be a sport anymore, it'll be like MMA.

u have never been in the ring if u claim that 16 ounce gloves hurt like hell.

Take from someone has actually spent years sparring with future NY golden gloves winners, that 16 ounce gloves are like pillows. thats why u spar with them. no chance of injury yo ur hands. U only feel them if ur fighting oscar de la hoya.

Well, I'm not a boxer nor have I been in the ring with any future talent. I still think 16 oz gloves hurt, I guess boxers have a really good tolerance for pain.

Yeah lets make all our favorite fighters easier to injure.

Great idea.


Ri.p...Cotto, Marg, Floyd, Juna Ma, Berto, Gamboa,




What a dumb idea??

Didnt the guy die that night?

He died about a week later.

UFC fights are short, violent and often akward, bumbling brawls for a reason. It's a totally different game. Having small gloves means you can't punch as hard- a boxing glove, with the extra padding, allows you to actually throw your fist out there much harder. I agree that gloves used to be less padded but I also believe the modern athelete- in all sports- has changed. Look at basketball and how tall the players have become compared to thirty years ago. Boxing in the golden years was full of dock workers, delivery men, and blue collar fighters who couldn't afford to devote their entire lives to the sport. These were men without strength or conditioning coaches, without weight machines- they often didn't have chisled abdomens, triceps and the general strength of the modern athlete. Throw in steroids and the game has changed even more. I do believe your average boxer is stronger today than he was in the 20's or 30's - and so, in compensation, gloves have more padding. The comparison to UFC, though, isn't really working for me.

You got an iron chin then.

But serioulsy, I don't know man, I honestly think you haven't even laced up gloves and sparred based on everything you've been mouthing.

I have sparred with this guy btw: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...9782&cat=boxer

We used 16oz gloves with head gear and I'm telling you, 16oz gloves still hurt like hell. Even though he a is super flyweight, his punches were hard enough to wobble and drop me(I'm 5'10, 160 lbs). I'm no pro boxer, but I sure have experienced how hard pro boxers punch with the "pillow" gloves they use for training.

The gloves are getting bigger and bigger, and its getting REDICULOUS.

Big gloves suck all the drama out of the ring.

Andre Bertos gloves were huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

If he were wearing much smaller gloves, you have an exciting and early KO instead of a boring fight and then an exciting KO.

I mean seriously, look at the supermiddleweights. The gloves for that weight class are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

Answer me this though. How can MMA have 4 ounce gloves, have that be perfectly legal in Vegas, but Boxing struggles for years to get 8 ounce gloves approved??????

Where the **** is the sense?

Seriously. The biggest gloves anybody in boxing should be wearing, are 10 ounce and that should be heavyweights and maybe cruiserweights ONLY.

First off for boxers its for safety reasons. I know you'd love to see their brains beat the **** in but they have lives to live and people to go home to just like you so be conscience of that.

Second boxing is over a span of 45 minutes as compard to mma which i think is 15.....a greater deal of damage can be done in that time frame with 10 ounces alone. Besides try getting hit with a 10 oz and see how it feels....trust me you can barely tell the other guy has on gloves sometimes.
