    it's one thing to try to maximize your chances of winning within the confines of the rules, it's another thing to cheat. Maidana had gloves that met the weight requirement so they were legal. Margarito had plaster of paris in the gauze of his glove that would have hardened into a cast with the accumulation of sweat as the fight progressed. Not only is that illegal in terms of fair play, that's borderline criminal. Maidana was looking for an advantage within the confines of the rules, Margarito was trying to get away with cheating.

Let people cheat it doesn't matter if he kills the other person..the same with maidana..who cares if he used gloves with nearly no padding..you people are ******ed..if that happened with any of pookyquiaos opponents pook-turds would commit suicide because of the injustice lol
      So the red MX had no padding, but were still approved by the commission??

        I like how Floyd fans are completely ignoring the fact that the commission approved the red MX gloves yet Floyd still wouldn't let him use them. He wanted to take away any chance he had of winning g the fight and got away with it because Chino couldn't pass on a 1.5 million pay day.

          Wait, so when Oscar De La Hoya chose Mayweather's gloves when they fought noone says anything about it, but when Floyd does it, it becomes the reason that he won the fight? wtf?

          I guess we're supposed to believe that stuff like this has never happened in the history of boxing?

              Did Oscar have it in a contract that he could choose?
              Since when does a guy threaten to pull out unless a big puncher wears gloves with more padding lol..***** move.
              Guerrero wore Reyes didn't he? Cotto same MX Maidana wanted to wear.
              Floyd being a c*u*n*t. As usual....

                Oscar had it in the contract beforehand,, Floyd didn't have it in the contract so he had to threaten to cancel the fight

                  The Argentine custom made glove I agree was shady. Not allowing the Everlast Red MX gloves was a ***** move

                    The fact is, Garcia offered Floyd the opportunity to use the same gloves as Maidana, thereby still making it a level playing field even though far out of Floyd's comfort zone.
                    Like Floyd said,you can't offer him anything,he is the A-side and thats the truth..fair or not it is what it is

                    that's not much of an excuse. What I will say is that it seems from numerous reports like the Nevada state athletic commission also did not approve of the glove choices saying that redistribution of weight gave too much padding to the wrists and not enough on the knuckles. This was a custom-made glove, and that's hard to trust. This issue should have been sussed out days if not weeks before the fight, but safety is first and apparently Mayweather wasn't the only one who had a problem with the padding on the gloves***8212;the commission took issue as well.
                    there you have it...Sorry but i wouldn't trust Maidanas camp at all,they are dirty and even admitted they are dirty..they know he lacks talent so they will use any dirty trick they can to try to win
