    Do you support your guy choosing your opponents gloves?

    First ODLH to Mayweather.
    Then Mayweather. No one of his fans wants to talk about it and instead say that Maidana tried to cheat? wtf.
    Then Brook.
    Now Klitschko.

    Your fighter has to be a coward.

    Boxing is so unfair that I wouldn't even call it a sport today. It's a ****ing business nothing else and we're all fools.

      Brook hasn't chosen anyone's gloves.

      I think you should be allowed to wear whatever gloves you want but it seems to be pretty common now that people take advantage of their position of power in negotiations to get any little edge they can.

            IMO its an obstacle that a boxer that can stay focused can overcome. IMO its a mind game, sort of like putting your foot under a where a jump shooter is going to land hoping it distracts him.

                MX gloves are banned in the UK.

                That's not a Brook thing or Eddie Hearn thing, you simply are not allowed to wear them in the UK.

                Rios backed out of that fight. That's why it wasn't made.

                  you do realize this happened way before these 2 fighters right? a lot of the stuff that has came out in these past years have been happening but it was kept out of the press. only in recent times have every aspect of negotiation been open to public.

                    It is, but it should simply be a commission decision. This sport has turned into such a **** measuring contest in negotiations to the point it is ****ing sickening. A side, B side **** should mean nothing more than money and location. The rest should be a standard rule set across the board.
