    One could make the argument that Floyd's last two fights have a big asterisk next to them. From the catchweight for Canelo to the pillows of this fight, but come on, you gotta except this from the TBE. :deal:hey

    Floyd will most possibly for his next fight be picking sparring partners, gloves, underwear (will request personal viewing) and cutman when he fight Amir khan in sept

    TBDE (the best diva ever)

    the red gloves were approved by the commission but floyd would not allow maidana to use them

    wait are you serious ? the blue ones which were THE EXACT SAME GLOVES as the red ones and one was deemed illegal the others were fine ?

    that does not make sense ? did someone tamper with them ?

    Because Floyd wants to win by the judges decision in Nevada and knows that Maidana can knock him out so he made sure that Maidana wears a pillow gloves.

    There are four professional versions of Everlast gloves , the Powerlocks are the biggest with foam padding and are designed for defensive fighters.

    MVC, we know you ride Floyds **** and members of his team on a hourly basis , but these are the facts , not mine.

    Maidana wears the punchers gloves only and had to change because Floyd doesnt like getting hit.

    It's not surprising that Floyd wanted to use the gloves with the most cushioning possible, what's surprising is that it sounded like it was a last-minute decision. Isn't the commission supposed to oversee things like that, and aren't those things supposed to be decided at contract signing?

    the argentinian one was custom made.

    the red one was generic off the shelf.

    both made by the same company.
