Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Maidana Got KOs With Non-Padded Gloves

[RetroSpeed05]

Lol you act like there isnt a serious issue with gloves and cling to your wrong opinion that there is only two different types of gloves, punchers gloves and gloves for boxers with bad hands, when in reality not all punchers gloves have the same distributed padding. It is obvious that boxing gloves need to be regulated properly and have the same type of padding.

Read this article it talks about all the types of gloves in boxing

The difference in hand comfort in gloves could be the difference between landing crisp and with full steam, or not. In this punch right here it could have been the difference in a knockdown.

I think people underestimate what comfort means to the fighter. Might not be the best comparison here but when I first started boxing and learning to wrap my hands I would sometimes wrap my hands too tight(similar to how Maidana needed vaseline to get his hands in the powerlocks) and it would completely bother me doing bag work and I would have to re-wrap my hands to punch comfortably.

Why should a fighter have to wear pillow gloves just because his opponent has hand problems? That's like saying a basketball player should have to wear a face mask because he's guarding someone who has one for a fractured bone in their face or a broken nose. They don't need it, and they shouldn't have to handicap themselves.

I think your confused , thinking im saying Maidana has to have as much padding as FMJ.All fighters without hand problems should be using gloves made with the same padding.

According to Maidana the gloves that Floyd made him wear in their first fight had so much padding that Maidana was barely able to get his hands in them and make a closed fist. How is this fair?

I believe all gloves have the same padding, just distributed differently.

Quite sure if Mayweather could fight with the less padding, he would, but don't penalize your opponent because he can

It's clear that he's accusing Everlast for manufacturing non-padded gloves.

True that. Also to note, I read on one comment here before about how using different glove affects how your punches bounce back after making contact. I agree from a martial arts point of view on that when we use sparring gloves and mma style gloves.

I dont give a crap about FMJ. All fighters without hand problems should be wearing gloves made of the same material with the same equally distibuted padding. The fighters with hurt hands let them use more , it putting them at a disadvantage over the non injured anyway.

I love when Floyd fantards try to psychoanalyse you instead of addressing the issue

Yes Dunn, we know he has the power to do it. The point is that it's a b1tch move.

I addressed your issue 5 times already. Every question you asked I answered directly, in this thread and all the others where you keep reposting the same stuff over and over.

Get over it. Floyd picks gloves he wants when he wants to. If you don't like it, that's fine with me.

Can't wait until he makes khan wear pork hair gloves.

How about hurt hands or not, everbody wears equal amount of padding...if you really want to be fair....your way still caters to some fighters, not all of them
