Do you think Black vs Red gloves affect reaction time?

It could, but that's why I look at their chest rather than their gloves

 

Never really thought about that before, it'd be interesting if someone did an proper study on it

 

Its quite similar to theory Ive read about somewhere, that the colour corner you are in might affect your chances in the ring.....The guy in the red corner is supposed to be more fired up and the guy in the blue is more placid.

I dont know if theres any truth in that though, plus, being blue might be helpful if it chills you out and keeps you calm.

 

I'm quite sure the color does affect it, black tends to blend as for red stands out more

 

i think colour does matter
in football scientists found that keepers that wore orange triggered an alarming response to the striker as to wearing black. the striker sees the big orange figure and panic and thus missing the shot

Red is rooted in every individual (not only human beings) as the color for blood, it is the most exciting color in many ways, for instance think of some monkeys' genital area ripening into a conspicuous red glow when they get horny, for their sexmates to get horny as well.
So I think there's something very profound and pre-conscious about it, and it's no bull**** question at all, I mean, some statistical studies should be done and they could probably prove some facts about fighters in the red vs in the blue corner, or bouts with a boxer wearing red gloves vs another wearing black ones - in this respect, I do prefer both fighters wearing the same glove color, just to make sure
- and, just for comic relief, one could also ask: most girls get wet down there at the sight of males clad in boxing gear, but do chicks get more aroused with red gloves?
(part joking)

 

The gloves are always in sight so the colors will already be recognized. Still be cool to see a study.

 

Not sure if that is true about red (never really had an issue), but I know that I have sparred with guys with bright yellow gloves and it was ANNOYINGLY distracting. The color was so blaring that my mind kept over focusing on the color while using my peripheral vision. I could just imagine neon (pink, orange, green) gloves.

It literally felt like someone was strobing me with a camera flash.

 

How about a dark skinned fighter wearing black gloves vs red gloves. Black gloves would blend in to his darker skin making it harder for you to see his punches coming compared to red gloves that would stand out more.

Or any fighter coming into the ring in a perfectly color matched completely flesh neutral wardrobe and equipment.
