The first had been tampered with they werent in original packaging i recall them saying they were wrapped in plastic wrap u use in the kitchen - that was the first red flag gloves shoulda be opened in front of everyone - after that debacle floyd say no to the MX
What other boxers use Everlast MX gloves?

i am so misinformed. i thought the drama was during the glove selection process where the glove brand representative would bring the gloves on the table where both teams would select gloves and inspect each other choice gloves. im not aware that the gloves are brought in a secluded place. how dare maidana remove the padding.Whats so hard to understand that they tried to cheat him by removing padding from the gloves , would you be obliging to people wishes that try that in a professional fight .
Floyd let Cotto use MX gloves its got nothing to do with the MX gloves and a awful lot to do with what they tried to do .Comment

I'm pretty sure I read it here on boxingscene, in an article.. May have been espn, but the early reports said there was some sort of glove defect.. Afterwards when Floyd complained about the 2nd gloves that was ok'd by commission, that's when the stories leaked out about the Maidana camp stripping the gloves. But there was no investigation, suspension, hearings, etc. which leads me to believe the first defective glove story.. My su****ion is that the only defect was they weren't in the original plastic, that's about the only legit detail that has come out about the defective glovesComment

Fair enough, I will personally believe the everlast rep who was there at the time, Floyd was just pulling his bs mind games.I'm pretty sure I read it here on boxingscene, in an article..

My whole point is that I never thought Maidana tried to cheat by stripping gloves..
Everlast guy is probably 100% correct! but I highly doubt he would ever claim that his company would supply a defective glove, if that was the case..
Either way Floyd is being a diva about these glovesComment
