why doesn't Maidana just wear Provodnikov/Matthysse gloves?

[Inkanyamba]

gabion, the everlast rep, says in the edited video that "both pairs were approved." he could be referring to two different sets of red MX gloves, but it's clear that MX gloves were approved. two pairs, actually.

If I was Floyd I would have done the same thing. How are you going to try to cheat in one of the most inexplicable ways possible and then just say "Oh ok, I'll just use another pair". Hell nah, you punish the guy for trying to take advantage of your well being. The blue gloves were declined by the NSAC and they happened to be the MX gloves. So no MX for him plain and simple. You can just see the hatred seeping through your posts. Floyd's undefeated record must be really damaging to his haters.

They denied Maidana's gloves because Chino's outfit would of been ****in compared to Floyd's lame attempt to rally the hatred of the Mexican fans in that red/white/green he wore.

if he "punished" him, why would they pay him to wear another pair of gloves?

We don't know the truth to that. Maidana said he wasn't paid, and that fat guy from ESPN said Maidana was paid.

Regardless, Floyd is the A side and Maidana had to beg to keep the fight going.

ok fair enough, another question. If he tried to "cheat" why did the fight go on? tampering with gloves is serious, removing padding is serious. why was he still allowed to fight after attempting to do something like that?

[MRCHOKEaMF]

maidana needs his special magic gloves to compete, they make him fleet of foot, they make him use better defense, and he doesnt get tired when he has them on.

[Canelo Phresh]

Everlast rep at the event watching it go down speaks on it.

"We don't do custom padding." Also says many fighters who fought in it recently in Vegas and that its been the same design since 2008. And that the RED and CUSTOM gloves are the same exact copies.

Eaner..........

[LoadedWraps]

lol at the cluelessness.

the only thing custom about chino's gloves were the paint job. they're called everlast "MX," short for mexican. it's a mexican style puncher's glove. it's horsehair, not synthetic foam. reyes gloves are also horsehair. puncher's gloves usually have soft leather as well, which tears skin more easily.


here's cotto using an everlast MX against mayweather. you can't make this sh#t up.

Educate these fools New England.

Those two guys who fight around the same weight class are monster punchers, so why doesn't he just wear those gloves instead of insisting on the custom made horsehair nonsense? How come that hasn't been addressed, surely there must be other alternative gloves that are designed for punchers that are well within NSAC regulations.

You do know different gloves are different right? they had to put vaseline on his hands just to slip them into the powerlocks.

And maidana is not insisting on CUSTOM made gloves he is insisting on the standard NSAC approved Everlast MX gloves or even the Reyes gloves as he is comfortable with those.

Mayweather gloves are CUSTOM made gloves, not Maidana's.

Cotto is a cheat trying to kill Floyd with those MX gloves
