I doubt there's a nail in the coffin regarding GGG's gloves but nonetheless it would be worth standardizing certain aspects of the padding outside of just the weight and total amount of padding.

Also agree with bread that RG is an excellent fighter but is no Arguello.

Good read as usual.

If Lara wouldn't beaten Jo Jo Dan, Bizier, and Gavin do you think he would've gotten a shot?

If Lara's own promoter had guaranteed his entire purse and allowed GGG to keep the US and international rights income for himself, then absolutely, Lara would have gotten a shot.

I'm happy you agree this was a money grab. The other guy tried to make it seem like Kell Brook did something in the ring to deserve this fight. It is was it is.

Kell Brook got the fight because he was in the right place - the UK with Eddie Hearn - at the right time - when Eubank Jnr's crazy old man scuppered the fight between Jnr and GGG.

Yes. Not because he beat other MW's like the guy I responded to tried to claim was the way to getting a fight with GGG

Maybe Golovkin's gloves look small because part of them came off in Brook's eye socket.

Interesting observation about the gloves. For sure there should be some universal standard when it comes to padding that all gloves, customized or not, need to conform to.

The commissions have standards for weight but it looks like there are none for padding.

First, by NSB slicksters, Breadman DKSAB when it comes to lil G. Am I right?

Second, if the tale of the tape for the Brooks/GGG is correct, GiGi's massive forearms create an optical illusion when it comes to glove size. Again, ya'll DKSAS (don't know shit about science)
