    I actually agree with that. But the pics alone wouldn't be enough. Perhaps a gif showing the entire shot. You can't tell from the pic when moment of greatest impact occurred. The top pic may be a few frames before impact and the bottom pic shows some squishyness but without seeing full duration of impact, i can't draw a conclusion from it. I'm not entirely convinced, but I'll have to pull a May vs Pac and look up some slow moving frames to check how the gloves look upon impact. If they don't squish too much, then i guess there's no issue.

      These guys are crazy. I wonder what the excuses will be when Fury wrecks him next time in worse fashion.

      Their IQ is so low that they don’t even know what a flicking jab is or how it works. A flicking jab is two motions of extending the elbow into range, then at the last second, flick from almost a right angle position then flick almost 180 degrees to the left, not quite. That’s why it gives it that illusion wearing gloves, because your hand ends up in almost facing the opposite way to where it started when you start the flicking motion. But because you can’t see the entire wrist rotation because of the glove, you’re just seeing a glove look like it flopped.

      It’s basic stuff. Doesn’t look any different if i do it when wearing boxing gloves and hitting something.

      Just shows you how little some people know about boxing or have never even fought or learned any skills.
      But your explanation is not empirical, it is merely a suggestion for a possible reason for the motion of his gloves. It is possible that everything you're saying is true and a glove still doesn't flap that way under the conditions you're describing, which is why empirical evidence is necessary to dispute it. My first suggestion for empirical evidence would be footage showing thst kind of motion with other fighters gloves, then we know it happens all the time - case closed. Robbie suggested another form of empirical data which is seeing how the gloves squish on impact, which is also sufficient empirical data.

        Look at those pics of Fury. You can't see his wrists because the cuffs of the gloves are pulled well up over his forearms, like they should be if the gloves are worn properly. These are the Paffen Sport gloves he wore for the rematch:
