The Reason why Ellerbe doesn't want Maidana to fight any of his gloves

Exactly. These idiots can't even realize that.

 

I think they would have preferred to force him to wear the Grant gloves with more padding, that in itself is pretty pathetic.

 

Sounds like some bull****

 

They can suspect all they want but the red Everlast gloves were inspected and approved by the state commission.

 

No
Ellerbe wanted to make Maidana into pillow fists trying to force new rules above the commission and being divas (this sound familiar?). He even said on video that they want to ban gloves that use horse hair so this completely disproves your dumb theory

 

The commission hasn't given a reason why those gloves were not approved. The commission can reject gloves for whatever simple reason they want, including that there is a viable non-custom alternative sitting on the table there. It requires less work for them than actually investigating the custom gloves; they simply move on to the next pair.

I'm not saying this is necessarily how it happened, but until we get a specific reason for the commission rejecting the first pair, this is all guess work and mind games.

 

That's the emotional part of it. It's a natural reaction at the start. These are the things his people need to think about, though. Once the commission approves the gloves, though, the person in that position needs to have a more level head and think through the situation.

Yeah, you want to look after your fighter, but that's been done. You brought up your suspicions, the commission reacted, you take a step back and move on.

Ellerbe know this too. I just think this is all mind games and trying to get a leg up at this point, regardless of how it started.

 

What's wrong with using a pair of gloves inspected and was given a go?

Is it that ****ing hard to get another 10 pairs of the same **** and compare it themselves?

Why do Floyd's camp keep on enforcing that Maidana uses a pair of grants? Are all Everlast gloves suspect? LOOOOOOOL

 

If you suspect the Garcia-Maidana camp after the first pair of gloves? Fair enough

If you still are suspicious after the second pair of gloves have been approved by the commission, then sorry you need to extend your suspicion from Garcia-Maidana onto the commission as well.

So by that very reasoning you should be suspicions of everything the commission does and GTFOH if your serious about "no fight no fight" well then get dafuq outta here

 

Sorry, OP makes no sense. The gloves arrived from the factory - Team Maidana did not "bring" gloves. They were factory sealed and commission approved. Even the blue ones, which were just a different color, were initially OK. The commission caved to TMT, probably just to avoid a drawn out discussion.

The fact is, gloves get vetoed by one camp or another all the time. Its not a big deal. Except in this case, TMT is trying to veto a whole line of gloves. They also trying to dictate which gloves Maidana uses. Thats not kosher, and apparently not in the contract.

There is a reason multiple sets of gloves for each camp are sent to each (big) fight. If a camp does not like a particular pair for any reason, they can object. If they want to use same gloves as opponent, that is also their right and thus spares are needed for that. But Maidana did not "bring" the gloves, they were sent to the commission by Everlast.
