So you complain non stop about the "bums" he's facing but That's not enough, apparently the only way he can beat these bums is by using cheating gloves. Another fine, unbiased thread Dan.
What model Grants does GGG use?

From Rosado:
"I do believe that his gloves are different than any other fighter that I've fought before. I could tell you that right now. We both fought with Grants, but for whatever reason his Grants were missing a little more cushion on the knuckles. And we had a problem with that, and they said that the gloves were approved [by the New York State Athletic Commission]."
" ... When he hit me in the first round, I just felt straight, solid wraps. It wasn't like it was just the impact of the glove. It felt like a little bat hitting the top of my head. So Triple-G's gloves, Grant definitely makes custom gloves for [him]. So Stevens definitely has to look out for that. ... I've never got cut in a fight. Only by a head-butt, which was four years ago. I got cut twice [over] the same eye in the second round [against Golovkin]. [Matthew] Macklin got cut early in their fight as well. It's just kind of suspect about them gloves."
Golovkin's gloves clearly have less padding.
And now post the owner of the company that makes those gloves response to rosadoComment

Based on that first photo vs. Rosado, he definitely has a point.
I've been the one guy that said all this glove controversy was nonsense, but that first photo shows more of a size discrepancy than the difference between 8oz and 10oz gloves!
The whole horsehair glove excuse is complete nonsense. Cleto Reyes gloves are horsehair and foam, and they look just as bulky as any other glove. The filling just happens to be softer, so you have more force being generated by the impact due to the compression ratio with the surface of the fist. The problem here is that GGG's gloves look extremely compact compared to his opponents'. This would have nothing to do with horsehair being used for padding.
Based on that first photo alone, something is up with his gloves. And I hate to say that.Comment

Not at all I legitimately like the gloves and want to know what model they are, I've not seen a pair like them before and love how they appear flatter at the the front. They're a similar to mine but flatter fronted.
Genuinely not trying to say he is cheating or anything, you put the guy in any gloves and he'd still hit like a mule. He was knocking guys into orbit before he switched to those Grants.Comment

If rosado has a problem with the gloves, the. Why doesn't he start wearing them.. If they are legal and approved, it would make sense to switch to themComment

This just makes you realize how idiotic it is for them to inspect and try on the gloves 24 hours (or whatever) before the fight.
They have a 3-month training camp, so why not give them a month to choose their colors / design and have them made, then have the factory make them in month 2, then have them inspected and protected by the commission at the beginning of month 3. You'd have an entire month to examine the gloves and settle any disputes before the fight.
Doesn't make any sense to do it right before the fight.Comment

Actually, it also doesn't make any sense that both fighters can choose completely different gloves for a bout. They should both be exactly the same.Comment
