Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Explains Their Protest of Canelo's Gloves

[BattlingNelson]

When was the last time we heard a trainer complain about using untested gloves. We have heard that certain gloves that are made by popular brands end up with shifted padding by the end of the fight. But has anyone complained that a glove may tear and give a fighter a breather? Not that they are under weight. Not that the padding is shifted to the behind the knuckle as some have complained about GGG gloves. But that it may tear.

I'm all for using every tactic in the book to gain a psychological advantage. So more power to Sanchez. But do you guys understand what HIS complaint is. Untested....ohhh boy. What fighter is going to go into a fight with a glove that might tear and potentially cost him an opportunity to get a KO or TKO because the glove tore while he was applying pressure.

Lastly, who cares what gloves a slapper wears. GGG said Alvarez punches felt like slaps. Gloves that meet the 10 oz. padding requirements aren't going to change that.

Floyd complained about the gloves Maidana used. Surely you remember that farcical protest.

Canelo looking to cheat in some fashion.

Doesn't Belichek say if you ain cheating you ain trying? #deflategate

[SplitSecond]

Clenelo and co. are dirty, you shouldnt trust anything that comes from that group. Absolutely they shouldnt allow this, let it be tested in some minor fights between some guys that could use some extra money to test it and slowly move it up the ranks.

Read more carefully. I said complained about gloves being untested. Floyd complained that Maidana gloves had an unnatural distribution of the padding. In his case...he paid to get Maidana to switch because the gloves were made to spec.

Unusual distribution? Where they tested or untested?

When was the last time we heard a trainer complain about using untested gloves.

When it the last time a trainer was expected to put his fighter up against someone wearing gloves made by the opposing team that have never been used before? Never? Did it ever happen in the biggest fight of the year? Did it ever come from a the camp of a fighter who is coming off a suspension for cheating and we have to take his word for it he isn't cheating here? If nobody else has complained about something recently it's not a valid complaint?

Canelo has **** stamina and spent most of the last fight trying to avoid contact. Of course he'd love a mid-fight interruption to rest. But I agree Sanchez tries mind games and has said ****** **** before. In this case though he has a point.

Lastly, who cares what gloves a slapper wears. GGG said Alvarez punches felt like slaps. Gloves that meet the 10 oz. padding requirements aren't going to change that.

Your problem is that you're wrong and so you have to bend logic to justify your views. For example when Canelo's camp try something questionable and Sanchez objects you say it's just talk, mind games. But when GGG says Canelo has no power you say 'no mind games there, he really means that therefore let Canelo wear dodgy gloves'.

So the gloves was approved but it has never been tested?

Your problem is you came here to argue and not to discuss. You throwing out raggedy points to prove someone wrong like it's a contest.

Don't respond unless you can tell me if there is a rule that says gloves must be "tested". And if so, how?

Floyd's team argued that Maidana gloves didnt have enough padding around the knuckle. They were known in boxing as punchers gloves.

I keep asking but no one answers. Is there a "testing" requirement?

Floyd complained. Golovkin complained. Not uncommon at all.
