Tarver-Green pre-fight glove dispute

[Clegg]

Mayweather wears Grants because they protect his hands with the "extra" padding.

Everlasts are the actual "puncher's" gloves...

This article makes no sense.

I always thought that Reyes was the punchers gloves.

Yes, Reyes are actually puncher's gloves ...

[Larry the boss]

guess he thought tarver had a glass jaw..lol

For those claiming this proves Roy's protests right, Roy was talking about Green's handwraps, not gloves. He was trying to ride the meme of Margarito's handwrap scandal and hope people didn't notice he was really just a *****.

Edit: That's Pu$$sy. My GOD that is ******.

Ya you're right .. It's Reyes. But definitely not Grants...

Don't understand, was someone trying to cheat?

As I understand it, Green's camp tried to upset Tarver by making him wear a glove different to the gloves stipulated in the contract. Tarver refused, until his cornerman took the glove away and realised it had less padding in the knuckle than the contracted gloves. He showed this to Tarver who agreed to use it.

Dumb, really dumb psyche out job by Team Green.

Tarver and his handlers must have faith in Tarver's chin. Tarver has never been KO'd so he must have a pretty good beard.

For any weight above 160, I don't think certain gloves matter at all. We see many of the punchers using Grants, and very rarely do we see fighters above 160 wearing gloves like Cleto Reyes. It's virtually only Everlast and Grants.

These weren't any pair of Grant Gloves, the article said they had the green logo on it or whatever. I'm assuming Green gets custom Grant's with less padding on the nuckles.
