FACT is that Maidana's first gloves were ALSO REJECTED by the COMMISSION.


You know how jacked up your gloves have to be to get rejected by the commission? These are the same people who APPROVED MARGARITO's LOADED WRAPS


Maidana's corner was obviously tampering with the gloves if even the blind commission caught it.

Well I couldn't give a crap what he says this time he is definitely trying to sell this fight with this lame angle.

Come on man ..... if Floyd was trying to sell this fight he would be saying the complete opposite. He would be saying,
"Come and see the KO artist try to knock me out. I will even give him his preferred punchers gloves this time to even out the playing field. You know, boxer vs puncher"

"I want to even the playing field ....." - Floyd

What? It's the complete opposite!

If you take what is supposedly Maidana's bread and butter, then you are removing a component that will even out the playing field.

It's different

Yea, that's what I don't get, this makes much more sense as far as hyping a fight goes.

Stop it with them excuses.

Floyd doesn't want any glove INCLUDING the APPROVED gloves. Same goes with their upcoming fight. Floyd doesn't want Maidana to fight with approved gloves.

Wow. You are splitting hairs. It's okay because De la Hoya put it in the contract but not okay because Floyd's representatives caught it on the day of. Should one really have to put in the contract that they will not allow their opponent to wear gloves that have had the padding around the knuckle shifted around and manipulated? With that logic Naazim Richardson should not have been allowed to stop Margarito's trainer from wrapping his hands with plaster of Paris because it wasn't in the contract.

It's not about manipulated padding..

The 2nd set of gloves were approved by commission and Floyd didn't like it and pulled a diva tantrum..

The first set of gloves were reported to be a manufacturing error, that may be true or they could have been tampered with.. No one was ever punished if there was tampering and no one was ever named a suspect, unlike in the margarito and resto cases..

I got no issue with Floyd taking a stand with the first set, but once the 2nd set got approved and he still thru a tantrum, that's were I take issue

i think it comes down to a trust issue, the first pair of gloves were denied by the commision because they looked tampered, plus being wrapped in suran wrap? cmon so floyd's trust was broken first time out why should he trust the second pair as well? they ordered those power lock gloves that were shipped there brand new. i think thats why there was a glove issue and why maidana was not allowed to wear the second pair as well. imo but they could have ordered a new pair of mx gloves too,cleto reyes are made of the same material too so idk
