    Do people truly believe that Abrahams gloves had been tampered with?

    AA has a habit of KOing in the late rounds, often in the championship rounds. And he had 11 champion fights at MW in a row. Difficult to load gloves under the eyes of that many challengers, and their respective teams.

    I agree the gloves' size seems smaller than Taylor's. If they are smaller, they probably are more dense to get to 8 oz. Could mean they are stiffer and deliver stronger punches.

    I doubt there is anything wrong with the gloves. AA would never endanger his career or reputation for such a cheap trick. He moved up to SMW to actually prove something, and if this would get out, he'd be KTFOed by the fans and the press.

    Some quotes from the Euro after-party,

    Kessler- Did you see the look on Dirrell's face when Massimo and Dan-o turned the screws on that mother****er? (lol)

    Valuev- (lol) How about Taylor looking at Arthur's gloves, like "WTF", haha, shame I can't wear my 4ouncers against Haye

    Kessler-Rules are rules mate-

    Valuev- True that, you gonna finish those drumsticks?

    Kessler- Wha?, Nah you can take em if ya want, I'm grabbin a beer, you want one?, Ottke's going on soon.

    Some gloves are padded with lighter foam, then they are bigger - that actually gives an advantage on the defense, and protects the hands a bit better against taking damage. Other gloves, for example Reyes, have denser padding, then they are smaller, and deliver more impact, but also back to the hand (Vitalis hands broke by that). And they are more likely to let a punch slip through, or around.

    The Adidas professional gloves are padded with horse hair, not foam.

    if Taylor had wanted, he gould wear adidas gloves too.
    how about Mayweather and Judah.
    i guess it was just that Floyd want to wear bigger gloves.

    I HIGHLY doubt Abraham's gloves were tampered with. He's known for late knockouts.

    And for those with a remote grip on reality, if a boxer removes the padding, you can see this ON THE FACE of the opponent very quickly, especially with a puncher like Abraham. That immediately causes immense cuts, mice and swellings.

    So quit the bull**** how Taylor owned Abraham if not for the lucky punch in round 12 with plaster casts on his hands and removed padding.

    cmon guys...given abrahams style and his power its obvious he purposely wanted to use the adidas glove the advantage of perhaps giving him more power and maybe a better easier grip (no padding on the thumb)

    up..
    i got feeling that black gloves look smaller than red ones, even if they are both example Reyes gloves.
