"Darker" fighters at an advantage when wearing "Darker" gloves

[Benny Leonard]

By the way, I'm not saying a HUGE difference but a slight difference can matter.

Maybe it is just me but that's how I remembered it when I was sparring different people that I've sparred several times and they used to change glove colors.

I also noticed Red Gloves got my attention a lot more on a any fighter.

Just saying....

what you're saying makes sense to me

it would be interesting if this theory could somehow be tested

Uh oh, Benny.

This thread might take a turn for the worse.

Dark skin and dark gloves will stir up some
sensitive emotions

Because of skin color?

Eh....that would suck but just ignore those that get off topic. As long as people don't respond to racist bits, it won't crowd the thread discussion.

Serious discussion here and it could have an affect on a fight.

Little details can matter; at least I think so.

Little details are can often be most important, in a sport like boxing any little advantage you can get can of great importence.

Maybe this explains why ODLH came in to the fight against Pacquiao with brownish gloves. Too bad it did not work. Maybe ODLH was the wrong shade of brownish.

Well the most important color is Red and that is a color Oscar didn't have inside his body because he was Dead. So, his glove color would not have mattered.


I thought those gloves on Oscar were pretty badass. Kind of reminded me of Old School boxing gloves.
