Comments Thread For: Video: Maidana's Trainer Shocked at Gloves Controversy

[KnickTillDeaTh]

My thing is if you saw the video it was obvious there was something wrong with the Blue gloves. The red gloves looked to be low on padding as well. As I commented on another forum, you have to ask yourself one question, if you were a fighter and caught somebody trying to use gloves that everyone, including the commission agreed contained insufficient padding, would you be ok with allowing that fighter to use the same style glove in a different color? I highly doubt any of you would.

Mind games or not, those Blue gloves were definitely bad, and Garcia continued to defend them which no one is even commenting about. The fact is those gloves may have been tampered with and a bunch of you guys only got dirt to throw on Mayweather for forcing them to change gloves. SMH.

It's the Commissions Job to approve the Gloves...

It was also the Commissions Job to do the Testing...

Starting to look like Our Hero would rather be Somewhere else Saturday Night!!!

^^^This right here.

You gotta wonder why Mayweather even fights? The guy does more crying then any fighter in history, against a 20-1 underdog no less. Welterweight gloves are small especially mexican style gloves, its not news

This is a B*TCH move by Floyd!!!!!

I really don't know why anyone is surprised, this is what Floyd does!!!!

I hope Team Maidana holds there stance and refuses to change.

Team Mayweather has known all along that Maidana wore these gloves, and they bring it up now!!!!!

If the Comission approved the gloves than Team Maidana needs to tell Team Mayweather to kick rocks!!!!!

If this fight were not to happen because of this B*TCH Floyd would never be able to live this down

Gloves are chosen, Checked and signed off on the day before the fight after the weigh in, as its always been.

Another fool who knows nothing about boxing gear. Everlast MX are designed to have minimal to almost non existent padding in the knuckle area, hence the reason they are in the punchers gloves category, along with Cleto Reyes. See for yourself and try on a pair of MX pro fight gloves. They are all built that way. If it's only about the custom blues, then why is TMT against the commission approved red MX or the approved Cleto Reyes?

Dont get me wrong im not defending his stance, im just saying would you trust that corner? I know I wouldnt. I mean Garcia is still defending the blue gloves, it was so obvious there was something wrong with those gloves. I just dont see why Garcia gets a pass and Mayweather gets bashed.

**** is hilarious. U do know his Grant gloves are Mexican made as well don't you? All the best pro fight gloves in the game are. Everlast MX, Cleto Reyes, Grant... Been that way for a long time.

Floyd wants Chino to wear the same orthopedic custom Grants he wears lol. Pillows

What does any of that have to do with my post? The Blue gloves were padded insufficiently, and everyone who saw the video knows it. And regardless if a manufacturer calls their gloves "professional" doesn't mean the gloves could be used in a professional boxing match. Just like there's rules on glove weight, there's rules on sufficient glove padding. Garcia got caught trying to use Gloves that were padded insufficiently for a professional boxing match. They were a specific style of glove that was custom made for Maidana. What incentive does Mayweather have to now trust Garcia? That was the main premise of my comment. If i wanted to talk equipment i would have, but i leave to the fools to show them selves.

I saw the video and it was obvious that there was something wrong with Floyds courage, not gloves. This is a b*tch move if there ever was one.
