NSAC Approves Reebok Gloves, Joe Cortez To Ref Khan/Maidana

I don't like this. Both fighters should wear the same style and make of gloves so that no advantage no matter how small can be gained.

 

Reebok gloves are awful.

 

Agreed Amir needs to ditch the Reeboks. He's a world champion now...get a decent pair of gloves.

 

That's just the way to get NO advantage. If both fighters can choose the best gloves for their style/strength, that's perfect right.
I've seen a lot of "champions" enforce pillows on their opponent because he is/was a powerful puncher and they weren't, or the other way round. Now that's creating an advantage.

 

I'm actually quite pleased with this. Maidana's rough-house tactics won't go unnoticed.

And in regards to Khan's Reebok gloves, him wearing the 10-ounce ones since the Prescott defeat, have served him well. I mean look at the size of them! I bet they go a long way in protecting them whiskers:

Then what do you do when one fighter prefers a certain make, and other prefers something else? How do you settle that? If both fighters are comfortable with what they themselves and their opponents are wearing, then I don't see no problem.

 

The Reebok gloves are bigger like the Grant gloves are so it will help protect Khan's fragile Glass Jaw. He throws pitter pat punches also which help with bigger gloves.

I don't have a problem with the Gloves he uses.

 

To me each fighter should be able to choose what brand of gloves they use as long as they are approved by the commission. :good

 

Good point, Laz. I think Roach and Khan are expecting the 8-ounce gloves to benefit them. They'll be small and compact, enhancing their ability to spray quick shots through the middle where Maidana's most vulnerable with his looping attacks.

 

I really hope Cortez doesn't drag Maidana back to the center of the ring every time he gets close to Khan.

 

nah not as good quality.

 

khan has been working on strenght and power, he plans to hurt maidana and knock him out, if it goes 12 rounds then ok, but the plan is to cut him up then brake him down. the 8 ounce gloves make all this easier to do.

 

from a khan hater to a nuthugger, bandwagon jumpin *****.
