Kell brook doesn't want rios to use MX gloves

[Weebler I]

I don't know? Because it's a puncher's glove I suppose.

I'm just saying what's been said.

It was a rhetorical question really.

If the gloves were already banned then I can see why the stipulation was added but as things stand imo Hearn shouldn't be giving stipulation on what gloves to wear on the basis of what he thinks might happen.

If he has a firm date for the ban taking place prior to an August bout then again then fair enough.

If he gets the WBO belt he could unify with Brook easily

Why do you think Bradley wants to fight Brook? Arum will play Top Rank round robin with that WBO belt.

Was there any initiative to ban the MX gloves?...

All of a sudden the MX glove is akin to a set of brass knuckles...

Thanks' Floyd, you twat.

Let's hope Khan continues fighting a string of 140lb featherfisted bums coming off losses.

See, that's the problem. This thread isn't about Khan. It's about Kell Brook, the IBF champ, who we'd like to see take on a top contender. That's what I said and you start talking about Khan. No my friend, I'm talking about Brook.

That's what Garcia said in the video. Prior to that I hadn't heard anything about it but a couple of posters were saying Frank Warren was discussing it not long ago so I guess there's something to it.

Look back three pages and you'll find an explanation.

Why would I do that when you quoted my first post in this thread? That had nothing to do with Khan?

[LacedUp]

Did Hearn send an offer and where did they reject it?

If you have a business conversation and one part says: "We want to stay in the US" and the other part says: "We want to stay in the UK"

Wtf would be the point of offering?

Both fighters deserve mega bucks for that fight and the money is just not there.

Did it ever occur to people may Algieri Is that good? The kid won a title in 20 fights as if he was a highly touted prospect with 0 amateur bouts, turned to boxing in 20s and in kickboxing/muay thai you barely use your hands, so not much of a background there. Then you have Brook who won ABAs and has been boxing for ages and took forever to get there. It is obvious that a proper boxing coach was really the last piece of the puzzle for Algieri to utilize his full potential. Just a thought!

Khan sure made him look good, we can agree on that.

... "Banning" MXs was a one-time solution -- and was meant for Maidana only...

[FrankieBruno]

A lot of excuses being made for Brook here

There is a video of Hern saying glove negotiations are part and parcel of the fight game and many times he has had issues with fighters wanting such and such gloves

When Floyd and Maidana had that issue with the gloves, Kugan asked Hern about his thoughts on the subject

Also there was glove dispute between Arthur Abraham and Paul Smith and Hern went in-depth into the subject on one of the Q and A videos
