Why did puss1 Floyd forbid McGregor from using punchers gloves?

[MurkaMan]

You better google because you are wrong. Gloves were 8oz but not punchers.

No. You better use google. Floyd flatout allowed him to use whatever gloves he wanted to. It a big thing all over the site remember? He then reiterated it at his media day. Conor doesnt know anything about gloves, he probably didnt even know which ones to use.

[The Big Dunn]

Canelo/GGG fight cancelled. Wilder/AJ fight potentially being made. Keith Thurman hurt. Whyte/Pulev ordered to fight. Loma/Linares on horizon. what does Maxi want to talk about:

Floyd and the gloves he made Conor wear for a fight Maxi called a joke and a farce and not a real boxing match.

Does this make sense to anyone?

Conor is a pillow puncher. It wouldn't have mattered. His technique is shyt. He doesn't leverage his punches correctly. Plus as everyone has mentioned I'm 99% sure he said use whatever you want. He knew there wsa no way this guy could beat him most likely after seeing those sparring tapes.

[Boxing Goat]

Exactly.

And I wasn't aware that Conor wasn't allowed to choose his gloves. Do you have a source?

But either way it wouldn't matter as McGregor couldn't punch a hole in a wet paper bag.

Yeah, that makes sense because his MMA KO ratio isn't like 90%

It was his first boxing match......what exactly did you expect?

I bet you didn't expect him to hit Floyd more than Canelo did huh?

If Conor had a career of boxing matches at that stage he probably would have knocked Floyd the F out twitching.

You don't need to lie. The gloves were 8 oz but they couldn't be horse hair or punchers.

McGregor claimed Mayweather had inserted various restrictions into the contract, including that the gloves could not be made of horse hair or be Mexican-made.

KO.

More sources:

Then we have what is called the ‘Mexican’ glove,” he continued. “Everlast do a glove called the MX, and basically the padding in that is very, very little. [So Floyd said] no MX glove, and no horse hair. It’s basically he wants.. you tear up someones face real bad with that stuff. The horse hair wouldn’t be used as much now, but the Everlast MX glove is still used. It’s a legal glove, but Floyd won’t have any of it.

I don't recall mentioning MMA.

But in Boxing we do know that he can't punch, AT ALL.

Do you have any other source than McGregor saying it?

Because he also said Floyd demanded 10oz gloves which we know is a lie.

[GhostofDempsey]

Floyd threatened to cancel the fight with Maidana if he didn't change his gloves at the last minute. What did you expect?
