      I'm not talking about differences and it's not in any way an excuse for a fighter losing.


      Either way, no one even knows what brand od gloves Pacquiao is using yet some people are making statements about what type of gloves he agreed to with no knowledge of this whatsoever.
      It's a cheap move of weakening the opponent.

      Would it be fair if Nadal told Federer he can't use his preferred Wilson racket and demands he uses a Dunlop one instead?

        no sh^t sherlock... thats why I put Everlast mx/cleto reyes... cuz they are BOTH punchers gloves.

          "the brand of gloves" where one of the list of things that were stated in the article.

                8 oz gloves hurt. Regardless of brand.
                Because they have never been punched in the face with them!!

                  No you didn't. I quoted what you said. You are a complete liar. Why would you lie about that when the proof of what you actually said is in the quote..?

                    Maybe it is but it certainly isn't unprecedented. But I'm going to wait and see what the gloves are before assuming what they are.

                      If there's no cleto Reyes, I hope Floyd breaks his right hand on Pac's big ass head.
