I was sure he only wored them in the 3rd fight...ill have to check that out, and even if he did, he managed to win 2 out 3 of their fights...How is that since wearing pillow gloves, according to some of you, would make a huge diffrence here???
Manny took off the Pillow gloves in 3rd fight with Morales Cause morales said mannys punches didnt hurt him. MANNY KTFO MORALES 3rd ROUND, BIG DIFFERENCE.
Morales didn't do enough. He should have just went all the way and made Maidana take a Hepatitis/HIV blood test 2 days before the fight and have him wear the wrong socks. He might have just won the fight even if he chose to go southpaw in the last round.
So if we're gonna use the glove excuse for manny, we can use the weight drained excuse for Morales?? Cant have it both ways, kid. Its a psycholgical advantage for Morales, like another poster said. But great fighters are able to overcome things like that.
Even if Marco wore them only in the 3rd (but still think he wore them in all 3) Barrera was never a huge puncher like Manny or Maidina, so wearing the gloves was irrelevant. Barrera wins on skill/outboxing against good chins. The pillow gloves are only big advantage against Big/devestating Punchers.
Think dude why do you think "Erik forces his opponents to wear those gloves" he knows they give him a big advantage.
Not Morales' fault his opponents have to rely only on their power. :deal And Pacquiao's main advatage over his opponents is his speed...Are you gonna tell me that winning gloves slow him down now as well?
and Marco Antonio Barrera proved that even with Erik having that advantage, its still possible to beat him. His opponents need to step their game up :deal
They give him a psychological advantage. Again, their is no proof that reyes, or everlast transfer more force than winning. Its all in the fighters heads, and depending on the fighter, that mental state could play a huge role in their performance.
No i can only testify that different gloves effect punching power, this scieintifc fact. The problem is Morales FORCES his opponents to wear his choice of gloves, or the fights off Knowing full well it gives him a big advantage.
no its not in there head, Extra Padding makes a huge difference on to the impact, and ive sparred a lot with big punchers. Ask any experienced boxer who has sparred a lot.
