We need bigger gloves

[JasonBoxing]

Longer fights less knockouts more skillset involved

And here I thought this thread was going to be about the safety of the fighters. You know OP, I don't know if you're aware, but there's this sport called Amateur boxing. Maybe you've heard of it. It's 100% points fighting. I think you'll love.

I thought it was gunna be on about safety too. Hes right though. We do need to eradicate knockouts. So boring ����

The purpose of gloves is to protect a fighter’s hands. Not their opponents heads.

Bigger gloves are actually worse for a fighter's long term health. If you think about it you are just adding more weight to a fighters fists.

If more CTE is the goal than yeah let's go with bigger gloves.

I actually wonder if the older fighters from the Marciano and Joe Louis era dealt with less long term brain issues since they fought with smaller gloves?

Also more brain damage.

Bigger gloves only reduce cuts. People are able to punch harder and more consistently and cause more signficant brain damage.

Bare knuckle boxing is actually safer. The skull is much harder than the bones in the hand. People would break their hands first before causing significant damage

I don't know man, have you watched much bare knuckle boxing?

Paulie's fight aside, the theoretical advantage of less hand padding is somewhat undone by the fact they both stand in the pocket and just swing for the fences lol.

Those are all "superficial" damage and cuts.

I guarantee you AJ took more longterm damage in his 4 knockdowns concussed fight against Ruiz than Paulie took against Arterm. Despite AJ still looking pretty.

Both Artem and Paulie broke their hands so they couldn't even swing at full power by the end of it.

Thats why I said Paulie's fight aside, have a look at artem lobov vs jason knight, it was brutal, just rockem sockem robot style.

Put pillows on Deontay's hands and he'll still spark all these mofos.
