Why does boxing use such big gloves?

[boliodogs]

Stick to watching the MMA then. It's more for you. Some champion boxers like AJ, Wilder and GGG knock out better than 90 percent of their opponents with "big gloves". That's hardly American Gladiators.

If I wanted to see that I'd stand outside of my local chip shop on a friday night. That is all I honestly see two roided up drunks there is no skill or technique in any of that. What even is it? Its embarrassing. My little sister has a better fighting I.Q and never had a fight in her life.
Its just trash.

I'm a fan of strategy, smarts, skill, adjustments, adapting, finesse there is only so much of watching two neanderthals just swinging for the sheer sake of it I can take.

Look at his posture all hunched over, ploughing in squared up, head first. Look at his feet and look at what I presume was an attempt of an overhand right?

If that was the Street and you seen that you'd laugh and say the guy had never had a fight in his damn life and that is honestly what it looks like and nobody would argue it.

He looks like a literal caveman. You ever see a mong or special needs kid lose his **** in school? That is exactly how it looks.

when he got knocked out in that GIF he was like a 46 year old man... dan henderson is a legend

This is why boxing fans for most part can't take MMA seriously. Just look at that GIF

A niche sport designed for white athletes who wasn't good enough to cut it in their chosen profession. One anybody of all skill types can pick up any age. You get a few wins and you're already labelled ''the baddest man on the planet'', ''a legend'', an atg etc
Its just a joke.

What about Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier, Anthony Johnson, Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva?

They are all black and are world class mma fighters and top in the organization at one point or another?

Isn't the best boxer currently a ginger haired white guy who happens to be from mexico?

Hardly any of those fight in the UFC anymore and that would be like 1% of their roster and none of those get star treatment.
Why do they push Brock Lesnar, Ronda, Conor, etc so much? They've never pushed a single black fighter. I am white btw just saying how I see it.

Like I said its a sport created predominantly for failed white athletes. Created by white skinheads, 99.99% of the fans are white, the entire commentary team are white. Its a racially driven ''sport'' for white folk who was not good enough at their chosen discipline. A sport where practically anybody of any age or discipline can do.
People laughed when Bob Arum said it but they laughed because it is true.

wow so you're what boxing fans are like..... salty as ****

It maybe evolving but not at the rate I'd like to see personally.
Most of them haven't even discovered what a feint is let alone a jab and its been around for how long? 20 years?

The sport will not truly evolve until you start taking genuine world class 'strikers' as they call it or a boxer and teach them how to sprawl and teach them a sufficient groundgame and so on.
Lets face it you can learn that in no time at all. You ain't teaching a 30yr old wrestler much in the stand up department apart from how to wing an overhand right and leave themselves wide open now just for every punch but every kind of strike imaginable.

They have improved from when it first started for sure but its still at the caveman stage.

Have you ever heard of Kevin Lee? He fights at LW and got a title shot recently and has been getting a big push by the UFC. He is black by the way and only 25 years old. You might like him
