To be honest, gloves might give you a slight edge however if you hit hard enough then the choice of gloves is irrelevant. For example, Matthysse wears powerlocks and still bludgeons people. However, I think a fighter should have the right to wear any gloves they please as long as they are commission approved.

If Eddie Hearn goes around and tells Rios not to wear those gloves if the BBBofC were happy with them, then that's a pssy bs move.Comment

That's pretty lame. Your trying to take away your opponents ONLY potentially chance at winning. Why even bother with the fight?
Just to showcase how you can land laser shots on a walking heavy bag that had his only strength removed so you can look more amazing? Lame.Comment

Ban MX gloves
It was quite obvious that Robert Garcia and Marcos Maidana were trying to pull a fast one with those broken in and manipulated MX gloves. If it's so easy to manipulate the padding around the knuckle on the gloves they should be banned. This is a potentially deadly sport. Does someone need to die in the ring before we recognize that they aren't safe? Sheesh...Comment
