    Gloves didn't matter

    Even if Maidana got the gloves he wanted, would that have increased Maidana's 26% connect percentage?

    Mayweather threatened to pull out after rejecting two other pairs of gloves that were approved by the commission for ****s and giggles.

        Even when Maidana gets to use his gloves, he hit 30.4%.

          That 26% percent that he landed woulda hurted a lot more brorher! Floyd didn't just do what he did for no reason. He knew what he was doing.

            No you moron but the impact that those 26% of the punches that landed would be different.
            And ask yourself this, If it wasn't important as you say it was, then why did Floyd make a big deal about it?

              How ****** can you be?

              Those body shots would of stung mayweather so much more had maidana been able to clench his fist and use the most of his power.

              Mayweather wanted different gloves for a reason.

                Have you ever laced on a pair of gloves and punched someone with them? Do you understand that gloves are made differently? We don't know if the gloves would have made a difference but they could have. You don't need to be stephen hawking to understand that.

                    It's not the quantity of punches. It's the impact they would have had. Floyd did what he did for a reason. He never did that before.
