Wilder is going to use Everlast MX gloves

Wilder needs more hand protection and hits just as hard

more of a risk to Wilder than Fury.

dummy

Wilder should just go bareknuckle see how it works for him cracking his hand off Fury's dome

 

Everytime hes used those gloves, hes knocked out somebody. This is getting very interesting now. Theres now a 99.9% chance this fight will end in a devastating knockout.

 

As Fury said himself, Wilder can come to the ring bare knuckled if he likes, won't make a difference, Wilders getting KTFO

 

Sounds to me like wilder getting his excuses ready for why he was forced to foul out after he's DQ'd.

 

It's shocking that Wilder seems like he was caught off guard about his ability to choose different glove types/styles. His whole team seems like amateur hour when they're blown away by soft leather. Didn't "boxing genius" Malik know about all the different glove styles? Why would Wilder NOT be using a punchers glove? Glove type is always part of the negotiation and shouldn't be a surprise.

 

Yep, it was 99.8% prior to that!

 

Everlast MX is as "puncher's glove" as it gets aside from Cleto Reyes (and some would even rate MX ahead of Reyes)

 

I remember in the buildup to Pac/Morales II that Pac announced he would be using Reyes for additional power. He had been forbidden from using them in the first fight. I don't think that was the difference, but he *did* get the TKO, so. ...

 

Could somebody explain to me why all boxers don't just wear these then, that they might increase the damage they can cause to their opponent?

 

Érik was very familiar with Reyes; he wore them many times himself (2/3 of the Barrera trilogy, switching to Winning for the rubbermatch - so basically right before the Pac trilogy started) ...which is probably a major reason he wanted Pac contractually obligated to use Winning like him, aside from just having a business arrangement with them.

 

Camps have to agree on gloves for each fight. (whether both combatants have to use the same brand, and if not which are permitted for either)

There are many considerations besides "damage you can do to your opponent". Many fighters want to prioritize the minimization of injury risk for themselves, if they are concerned about their knuckles, wrists, etc. There is also comfort/tightness and the natural 'feel' of the fist, which can throw you off during live fight conditions. Many punchers gloves, Reyes in particular, can feel constrictive (which is why they weren't JMM's favorite, although he did use them sometimes).

 

Cheers for that!
