    Why are the Packaging on those gloves not sealed? Is that how Winning gloves are packaged?

    Fulton has a better chance than many think, Inoue is an awesome fighter, Fulton is the real deal as well.

    It's been told to me that they do come packaged like that, but don't quote me on that as I'm not sure.

    The Japanese Boxing Commission opened them up for inspection, which is why they inserted their card or seal of approval. It's a JBC thing and nothing to do with Inoue. But yet again, Team Fulton shook and trying to find every single way to create drama because they nervous.

    I wonder if anybody from Fultons team were present during the inspection and opening of those gloves. Hmmm ("I'm getting Chong li flashbacks") lol

    What do you think? We know that stacking is legal in Nevada, and apparently applying tape to skin is also allowed in Vegas. So no, but Sanchez wasn't complaining about tape being applied directly to skin, was he? His issue was with "stacking".

    To compare it to Inoue, with Canelo is it clear from that footage that he had tape applied directly to the skin? From that footage, we don't get to see the beginning of the wrapping process like we did with Inoue vs Donaire, when we clearly saw the tape applied to skin. On Canelo's right hand we see some tape above the wrist, on the left hand it appears that there is a layer of gauze under the tape.

    Can't wait to see Fulton leave the ring on a stretcher.

    I honestly don’t think the gloves make that big of a difference when it comes to guys like Inoue who can crack and have such good technique. Think it’s all about comfort and feel.

    Maybe. Inoue said before the fight that he was looking to KO Donaire. I imagine the outcome would have been similar with Winning gloves (responsible for all his other KOs).

    Punchers gloves vs. Malignaggi gloves thing is blown out of proportion. You put a pillow around a cannonball and it will wreck the wall just the same as if was nekkid. Knockout spots on the face are not flat nor are knuckles under the gloves so no matter of the padding, contact area is almost point like if accurate therefore if the force is the same the damage too no matter of padding or wrapping. Physics, Doctor Watson.

    It's funny seeing the usual gronks trying to make an issue out of this. I don't recall any issues made when Tank was gloved up in Grants warming up for Santa Cruz but then when he got to the ring he was wearing Winning gloves.

    Typical nuthuggery from the usual suspects, for obvious reasons.
