how has boxin gear changed

[Nacho_Analstain]

in the past 100 years,liek gloves,footwear n ****,and what changes were good and bad,and u think shudnt of changed or should be changed

[Kball15]

gloves now weight more and have more padding. this is good because their is less injury and less reason to ban the sport.

and footware has just changed in like grip and stuff. like old shoes changed to the sneakers of today, that kind of difference.

and cups have changed a lot i think

and thats it. i mean, what else could change? lol

[Nacho_Analstain]

lol,im jus learnin from all ur knowledge

[Briman15]

Thumbs were attached to gloves sometime in the late 40s or early 50s so that you could no longer try to use the thumb to poke your opponents eye.

[hemichromis]

gloves for heavyweights have gone from 4 to 16 ounces and there thumbs are no attached to prevent thumbing groin protectors are faw more advanced (thank god!!) apart from that i dont thiunk much has changed

[Nacho_Analstain]

yeh thank **** for the ball protectors!

[Crazy Dude]

They didn't used to have mouth guards, hand wraps, and tape on the gloves.

[Dye]

i like the old pro fight gloves, the early 90's cleto reyes and everlast

[BloodClot]

the third rope also in relatively new because of many fighters breaking there necks when beiung KTFD or KTFO next to the edge

[Nacho_Analstain]
