Quote. "Thats crazy. I had no idea about it and missed it leading up to the fight as i wasnt really on the forums or nothing. But they spoke about it in the fight and then i saw the video. And wow! I have never seen a more spoiled, prissy, entitled, jerk than Floyd Mayweather. Get this brat out of boxing. "Im 46-0, he has to use the same gloves as me...whaaa!". Maidana might of literaly lost because of that stunt he pulled. He even says he wants a rematch because of that...and just wow...i dont blame him. Floyd literaly didnt let him wear punchers gloves. Who does that? Only Floyd. What a b1tch. I literaly am over Floyd Mayweather after that. I dont even care. ....And Maidana wasnt wrong when he said that he is more man than Floyd Mayweather."
easy for you to say when you're not the one being punched. the commission agreed the gloves were not acceptable. they are agreed upon in the contract...yes...but they have a final inspection for a reason. floyd had his gloves rejected once not too long ago. i believe it was in the cotto fight. they objected because of the thumbs and he wore another pair that were approved. gabriel rosado and andy lee have both questioned their opponents gloves in the past. rosado was put on the spot when ggg's camp suggest he wear the same gloves. rosado ended up getting cut pretty badly. he had the right idea. he should have stood his ground. now...he cuts easily and his career will suffer because of it. andy lee wanted to weight jcc jr's gloves and even asked freddie roach. roach told him to go **** himself. if u think ppl don't pull fast ones on this level, you are fooling yourself. maidana's plans to win were all about cheating. i don't doubt the gloves were part of that. his plans failed.
garcia's camp has become associated with cheating. margarito. rios and his failed tests. maidana/ariza with the smelling salts in the broner fight. and now the gloves and dirty fighting. there are rules for a reason. if you can't win within the rules...take up mma.
Maidan was trying to use questionable custom gloves that the commission denied, the padding wasn't right on them. From there he went on to fight dirty, rabbit punching, hitting on the hips, low blows, headbutt, during the clinch twisting the arm, biting, knee, take down. His corner was instructing him to fight dirty, his game plan was to be dirty as possible to ruff mayweather up. At first I thought the gloves were just a bad fabrication job. After the fight with all the antics it's not too far of a stretch to think they were trying to pull a Margarito type sht with the gloves.
atsch If the gloves are approved by the commission, especially the ones still in shrink wrap, THEN IT IS A ***** MOVE, PURE AND SIMPLE. atsch Good god you floyd c0ckriders will give him free reign to do anything he pleases.
i cant believe a commision got overruled by a fighter i have never heard of an instance of that happening before thoughout boxing history.
What if in the rematch Mayweather puts in the contract that Maidana has to wear a specific brand of gloves? Is that okay?
Wait. You're saying Maidana looking to use universally approved gloves is akin to cheating? Do other fighters wear these gloves? Do they have the option?
i know how the situations work with the gloves because i've been a trainer for the last 16yrs. i'm not talking out of my ass like some of you fans that post in here. i speak from experience.
it was already in the contract mexican everlast gloves were fine. the red ones were factory gloves. lucas wore the same type vs j molina :deal
ask yourself this.... why have a glove inspection the day of the weigh in? why not let the fighters bring in their own gloves? some of you really sound stupid as ****. why have someone inspect while a fighter wraps his hands? why have inspectors at all??? if it was you getting in the ring...you'd want all of these measures, trust me.
pay no attention to these guys man....they are just a little wound up because saturday night was the closest theyve come to creaming their pants......they need to "release the tension".....
do u know how easy it is to tamper with gloves? do u know how easy it is to shrink wrap a pair of gloves? the fact that the commission disapproved the horse hair gloves says it all. horse hair gloves should be banned. all gloves should be certified the way they are in the amateurs. custom gloves should be certified as well.
