He can believe what he likes, like how we believe Cotto is a faggot who fucks his best friend up the butt.

Cotto fans defend him like, well at least he's the giver not the taker!

One is more believable than the other.




I rest my case.

are you buying this crap about his gloves? come on man

it's where the thumb is sewn on

when you make a tight fist, the thumb will actually crease the glove right there causing a little bulge, people trying anything they can to discredit the guy, smh

Can't wait for this one. Everytime GGG steps into the ring it's must see TV.

This!! GGG is must see TV. You know somebody is getting stoped when he is fighting. The suspense is how it ends and when.

lol his gloves probably broke on the guys face while they do look su****ious i highly doubt its anything other then padding. all i care about with ggg is when we will see him in a fight where the other guy has a fighting chance

if you look where the bulged out spot is, its right on the inside of the glove where the thumb is, he has his thumb clenched tight in the fist in those pics, you cant even see his thumb in them

That's the point, you won't find anyone with a chance, for a number of years to come. I just can't think of anyone below 75 that can beat the guy right now. Yes, Ward included.

ATLANTIC CITY ***8212; On Thursday, Philadelphia***8217;s Gabriel Rosado labeled ***8220;supect***8221; the 10-ounce Grant brand gloves WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin wore during his bloody, seventh-round knockout win over Rosado in January.

A 27-year-old whose seven-fight winning streak, including five knockouts, ended at the hands of Golovkin (27-0, 24 knockouts), Rosado (21-6, 13 KOs) accused his conqueror of wearing gloves whose padding was thinner over the knuckles than those he wore.

***8220;I***8217;m not saying that he***8217;s not fighting with 10-ounce gloves, but when I noticed them, them s***8211;ts were skinny as s***8211;t [across the knuckles.] Mine had more cushion on the knuckles, and his had a little less. When he hit me in the first round, it felt different,***8221; said Rosado, during a roundtable discussion at Caesars Hotel in advance of Saturday night***8217;s clash with WBO 160-pound titleholder Peter ***8220;Kid Chocolate***8221; Quillin (29-0, 21 KOs) at Boardwalk Hall.

***8220;He only hit me with a jab, but it felt like a bat hitting the top of my dome. When he hit me, I could straight feel the wraps. You don***8217;t really start feeling the wraps untiil it***8217;s like the ninth or 10th round when the gloves start breaking down and in. But first round, you don***8217;t start feeling the wraps [underneath.] You get hit, you just feel that thud. So when he was hitting me, it was more of that type of an impact. I got cut twice in the same eye. ***8230; Them gloves are suspect as s***8211;t ***8230; even though they***8217;re not illegal, it is what it is.***8221;

Golovkin***8217;s promoter, Tom Loeffler, of K2 Managment, and Golovkin***8217;s trainer, Abel Sanchez, dispute Rosado***8217;s claims, saying that both fighters***8217; gloves were approved by New York State Athletic Commission chairman, Melvina Lathan, and her staff.

***8220;That***8217;s absolutely not true,***8221; said Loeffler. ***8220;They***8217;re not thinner across the knuckles. Floyd Mayweather uses the same gloves that Gennady uses, and Floyd hasn***8217;t knocked someone out in a while, so it***8217;s not the gloves, it***8217;s the person***8217;s power inside of the gloves.***8221;

***8220;Grant sends those same gloves to Floyd Mayweather, and I***8217;m not knocking Floyd by saying that. Floyd***8217;s out-boxing people. But just because you wear custom colored gloves doesn***8217;t mean that you***8217;ll start knocking people out or start cutting people or whatever the case is.***8221;

Loeffler and Sanchez said Rosado was offered a similar pair of gloves to those worn by Golovkin.

***8220;They were complaining, and Abel said ***8216;you can use a second pair,***8217; and [Rosado***8217;s] trainer, Billy Briscoe, said, ***8216;no, we***8217;ll use these,'***8221; said Loeffler. ***8220;Because, apparently, Gennady***8217;s gloves for some reason didn***8217;t fit as well as the ones they brought from Grant.***8221;

Sanchez concurred.

***8220;Billy Briscoe was there, his coach, and he had a couple of people with him. So we were having a rules meeting, and we were getting ready to try the gloves on, and they said, Gabriel***8217;s gloves were also Grants. We started trying them on, and Billy made a comment about the difference. So, I said, they***8217;re both Grants, they***8217;re both [10 ounces,] Melvina looked at them. The supervisor looked at them, and they gave them the okay,***8221; said Sanchez.
***8220;So there was no issue. So I said, with Melvina present, and the supervisor present, ***8216;you***8217;re welcome to use our second set.***8217; So they were welcome to use our second pair, because we had brought two pair, and they had brought two pair also. So Billy went through a 10-to-15-minute try-on session with the gloves, and then decides that he didn***8217;t want to use our gloves. They would have absolutely been able to use a pair of gloves that were identical to ours.***8221;

Golovkin will be after his 15th consecutive stoppage victory on Nov. 2 when he meets Brooklyn-based middleweight Curtis Stevens, whose promoter, Kathy Duva, of Main Events, has promoted fights involving Rosado in the past.

***8220;We have our attorney [Pat English,] who is an absolute expert on gloves. So we***8217;ll go to the weigh-in, and we***8217;ll look at the gloves, and as long as they***8217;re approved, sealed and packaged like they***8217;re supposed to be, we won***8217;t have any problems,***8221; said Duva. ***8220;It***8217;s the the fist in the glove that matters. We will inspect the gloves as we typically do at the weigh-in ***8230; If there is something amiss, then we***8217;ll certainly say something, but I don***8217;t anticipate any problems.***8221;

[Cinci Champ]

not sure why it wont let me post about it but its all over the web that his gloves are suspect
