    As far as Abraham's gloves go: yes they were the standard Euro lead loaded ones we kit out against American boxers.

    paulinchen ist warscheinlich der einfältigste deutschsprachige Poster bei ESB. Von ihr/ihm kam auch das Gerücht Peter wäre von Vitali gekauft worden um zu verlieren. Einfach ignorieren.

    And now back to Abrahams gloves...

    In photos objects in the front seem to be bigger than objects in the rear.

    But to be sure you can auction Abraham´s gloves (he does it after every fight) and then compare them to other gloves ;)

    its obvious abrahams adidas gloves are smaller and perhaps have less padding and are built differently around the thumb area to perhaps give more of a tighter fist...

    not trying to take away from abrahams victory cuz he does have good defense and some limited counterpunching ability and fights in huge spurts of wild action but those gloves really were some of the smallest ive ever seen ...

    Those gloves were checked out by Taylors camp. Gloves are agreed on before fight.

    You're pretty new to the sport aren't you, lad.

    Read the rules.

    And make an appointment with your eye-doctor.

    This coming from the *** that defended Margarito by saying it was handcream on the illegal pads.

    Abraham won the fight square and fair, he did not cheat and he did not need to cheat.

    And this is legal?

    You can hit much harder with this type of gloves and less padding.

    AA did not hid much often so this can be possible for him to fight with such gloves without hurting his hands during the fight.

    But how are the rules, how long the paddings have to be?

    The gloves are inspected by the opposite teams.
