        The gloves are good just how they are now. It's not even that much of a safe sport, fighters still get hurt and come out brain damaged even with these so-called pillows. Years of getting hit with those pillows will haunt you at the end of the day when you are retired. We want to see a fight, not someone getting hurt and have their hands shaking and they can't even talk all they can do is mumble out their words.

              Nah, these p*ssies should fight bare knuckle.

              Infact, they should fight with knuckle dusters. First to lose is a p*ssy!!

              You tool.

              Gloves are there for a reason; to protect the opponent and to protect the boxer's hands.


              An 8oz or 10oz glove coming at you with ferocity is hardly comparable to a pillow now is it? You dumbstick.

                    In a sense, it would be beneficial for Boxers to use smaller gloves because fights would end quicker.
                    Bull****. Lighter gloves mean more brain damage and death. When you think about how most fights actually go down, the lighter gloves would be an aweful idea.

                      Many boxers myself included already have bad hand problems using the "pillow" gloves, if they forced everyone to use those tiny mma gloves your hands wouldn't last long I'm afraid. I'd wager you’re not a boxer otherwise you wouldn't be complaining about the size of the gloves, instead you'd be more worried about protecting your hands.
