Reebok Gloves Not Allowed--Khan Wearing Everlast Now

[PainKiller]

to the first bolded....khan fights from a pretty squared stance...just that makes him pretty vulnerable to having no choice but to block in certain situations....he doesnt have a "slick"(for lack of a better word) stance... whenever he is elusive he does it through footwork and keeping his hands up and arms tight. thast where maidans bet could pay off.....those punches behind the guard that get through when the protection is smaller/lighter....

Maidana's bet could pay off, but IMO I would want to slow a man down who is a lot faster than you.

Even with 14 ounce gloves, Maidana can hit Khan, he's not a defensive genius, and one punch could do it. 1.5 ounce smaller is not as as big an advantage as 1.5 ounce lighter gloves for 12 rounds.

Holding up 8 ounce gloves is easier, hurts more, and is faster over 12 rounds.

That 1.5 ounce less protection on each glove IMO is not as big a difference as the above.

Heck if Maidana KO's Khan, I doubt that extra padding would have saved him.

maidana probably isn't worried about khan's power or speed. he's more worried about finding a way to get to khan's chin.

That's true, but do you not think he will hit Khan's chin at some point?

I question if Khan can take pain, and I had a dream that his right arm got broken in half and he jabbed his way to a win.

Then I woke up and thought, ****, Khan don't want no pain LOL.

everyone has a great plan until they get hit.

khan will get hit at some point. that's why i would understand why maidana might want smaller gloves.

[PainKiller]

I agree, but personally I would want to make Khan slow down and that way I can hit him more.

I guess let's see if his plan works, although I feel a KO will happen with these or without.

getting hit more can slow you down...........

and i think youre underestimating pillow gloves.....

Wait a minute, the real issue is why has Khan been fighting with 9.5 ounce gloves this whole time. Why does Reebok not make 8 ounce gloves? You'd think that Khan would have been fighting with 8 ounce gloves this entire time if it is so much better for him as he claims. I understand contracts and such, but you'd want to have every advantage.
