do you think boxing would bw more popular if they wore mma type gloves?

[AntonTheMeh]

well..........do ya........?

[SpeedKillz]

i think its fine the way it is. with those little gloves there would be too many KOs, and not enough battles that fans watch for...

[nedcmk1]

I would slighty disagree and say with those little gloves there would be too many hand breaks.

[rawtyson]

i guess so, but then again the death rate would go up 900%

[A.Jay]

no it wouldnt people would just get knocked out quicker.......there was a thread about this a while ago the main reason people suffer brain damage and/or die from boxing is because they take a large amount of punches get concussed and keep on going with the ufc gloves people would just get knocked out quicker.......still i don't think it would be a good idea would probably change the sport way too much

[Down4TheCount]

boxing with mme gloves just does not sound like a good idea , it kills defensive tactics , puts the fighter in more danger, and the only reason mma uses gloves like that is because you cant exactly grapple with boxing gloves on .

[PepeM]

I dont see the point. It would just be like in a street brawl, whoever connects the first punch wins. The sport is fine as it is now, it just needs some air time on free TV, and it will rise again in fame quickly.

[GrizzleBoy]

Might aswell change the name from boxing, to Knockouts.

A real boxer would seriously hurt someone with those gloves. If someone can cause an injury that kills a person with Boxing gloves... Imagine MMA gloves.
