    Floyd-Guerrero fight-adjustments

    Now let me say Guerrero may not have been a great win, but he had a damn good plan..when Floyd threw the lead right he would counter to the body instead of the head and it was working well...But somehow Floyd adjusted and started dodging body shot counters...I mean that is hard as hell to do..

    Great adjustment against maidana aswell, not coming out until maidana had pillow gloves on, I mean that’s as hard as hell to do

      The same gloves Cotto wore against him, yep real pillow gloves .

      If you ever try a few rounds of boxing you will learn there are no 8oz pillow gloves.

        Every lefty following Zab tried the outcounter Floyd strategy

        Floyd jab too good. When an opponent is too fresh with the counters Floyd will jab them into coming forward: JMM, Robert, manny

          Doesn’t sound like you’ve ever been hit with hair gloves, seems you only know how to lick the Floyd poster on you wall, 1.5 million is alloy of money to pay someone to wear padded gloves rather than hair jnr if there is no difference, now go away

            No. Cotto wore everlast MX gloves, the gloves that Mayweather payed Maidana not to wear.

              You need to find out the whole story instead of parroting along with haters.

              What does it mean knowing Floyd has faced much better guys wearing the very same gloves, any fool should realize from this fact that its not about the gloves. this was a pay back power play.

              Hair or not is irrelevant you never been hit by either so your power play is a bit lame, they tried to pull one over and Floyd like a boss said fck you .

                    I’m not interested in excuses, that’s all you offer, I’ve been in the industry for years, hair gloves are punchers gloves, you saying they are all the same shows how little knowledge you have, now go back to playing badminton gumby
                    When boxing gloves were first used, they used to be stuffed with horse hair,” McCormack said. “So what happened is you could actually manipulate the horsehair, you could push it and bring your knuckles out through the horse hair. To stop that, they developed the foam padding what we’re used to now. That’s become the standard, but certain places still use the horsehair glove.
                    “There’s no actual rules against them, they’re still considered a legal boxing glove. Now, they’re not good for your hands, because you’re effectively only working with the wrap. As it gets wet, it moves around a lot more. I remember as an amateur we used to wear them, and you’d get hit, it could be the tenth fight with the same gloves and they’d get wetter and wetter. You’d get hit with the searing pain and the smell. They stunk.
                    “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.”
