Does boxing need smaller gloves to become more entertaining again.

I always wanted to see boxing with the 4 oz gloves like they use in MMA,,, maybe not opened-finger like in MMa but 4 oz gloves would be very entertaining..

Yeah, speedbag mittens:



Protect your hands just fine with wraps but they don't convert sharp impact into blunt force trauma the way normal fight gloves do.

Yeah, something like that... Would love to see guys throwing down with that size gloves...

It would put an end to all the fighters that fight not too lose and just win on points...

Punchers or aggressive fighters would benefit greatly, and fights in general would be more compelling

why dont you fa*gots go watch bare-knuckle boxing

Smaller gloves would mean more action in fights, and yes the defensive guys like hopkins, floyd, vasquez would still be able to be defenders, and the better defenders would still have success, i just think that punchers would have much better chance than they do today, and the sport would be more compelling because these fights could end at any time..
And even guys lacking punching power like pauli or bradley would be able to rock guys with 4 oz gloves..

It's a great movie, i've seen it twice.

just reduce championship fights to 10 rounds so high calibur but boring fights will end quicker and be forgotten. If a knockout was mean to happen, it will happen sooner, within 30 minutes

dudes will also take less strikes when their mostly spent after the 30th minute
floyd won't have to prance for 6 additional minutes in a conclusive fight

[Cinci Champ]

You have to pick 8oz or 10oz gloves though.

Years agao heavyweight would use 6oz gloves, nearly half the size of current gloves and made of horse hair not foam.

Lets make the gloves smaller again, limit their size and make them balanced.

that was also back when people died in the ring a ton more

Years ago they also fought 100's of rounds bareknuckle...maybe we should go back to that
