Question..Why did Morales not use the Reyes gloves?

[Kid Achilles]

**** the gloves.

[hollister]

I dont think so either, in either fight,but the question there was, why wouldnt he?

What can I say, when you're right, you're right lol

[flanker]

it does matter matter. look at Erik's face. It was disfigured! lol

[JOM'S]

The gloves do not matter, it is the boxer in em not the gloves.

EM and his team did not think that the gloves matter so they used the same gloves ...

IMHO it matter even how small the fraction maybe, against this figther a little fraction means the difference ... EM hit pac with a lot of punches if he was using Reyes maybe just maybe pac would have slow down a little bit more ...

[Exciterx30]

I don't think it's the gloves. It's just that Pacquiao came with a slightly different gameplan and stuck to it. He used more right hands and body punches. Besides, Morales looked slow as early as round 6 and Pacquiao just kept the same fast pace.

The people who said that "the gloves didn't matter" in the first fight are the one's asking "why morales didn't use reyes" in the second fight.

LMAO, how ironic

you talking to me? I simply wondered why he didn't use it

[abdiel2k3]

i hope people dont really think the gloves played any role
if so
ur only taken credit away from pac
he showed he made a mistake the 1st fight
didnt train right
and didnt concentrate
2nd time around
he trained hard
and was focused
had nothin to do with the gloves
NOTHING
it was all Pac

Take your nuthuggin elsewhere.

Chups good point,that was probably the logic behind it.

Does it hurt to make you eat your words?

Gloves does matter because different gloves have different styles on how they are made and the advantages and con's of using them.

Using Winning gloves protects your hands well and its thick paddings gives it excellent protection to the head and also the body. The con's of using winning is that you trade power for defense and protection.

The pro's of using Reyes is that the paddings on the front of the gloves is designed in such a way that the impact of the power punches will have a VERY sick snap whenever a punch is landed, hence the full impact of a punch will be felt. The con's is that it doesn't provide much of a protection and the longer the fight goes, the more risk the figher is exposed to hand injuries.

Now all those people who said gloves didn't matter...

THEY'RE EATING THEIR WORDS AGAIN. HOW IRONIC.

i am a pacfan and not taking anything from Pac's victory over Erik but i do consider a lot of factors contributing to Pac's victory which includes but not limited to ... focus, training, using the right hand more, stick with gameplan (attack both body and the head), added confidence using his "Gloves", added punch impact using Reyes, Erik vulnerable at 130 (he should have paid PAC 1.25M Dollars to add at five pounds)...

EM interview after PAC-EM 1 .... I did not feel his power, out of 10 he is a five (winning)

EM interview after PAC-EM 2 ... he hits hard (Reyes)

I am not saying that by using a different gloves alone will win a fight but IMHO it does contribute something to the outcome of a fight how little of a fraction it maybe ...

so what's the latest abt. EM, is he really injured? will there be a 3rd fight?
