I font know how many if you ever boxed but the padding of the gloves is very important.
Yep I forgot who the boxer was but he was blinded becuz his opponent had removed the padding from his gloves

It is something to worry about. Look at the idiots in the comment section of that video calling floyd a crybaby for this. They know nothing about boxing if they think padding isn't a big deal

That is usually decided at contract. For instance floyd usually doesnt like the Cleto Reyes gloves cause them joints are a KO artist special:win:

Floyd likes them Grant gloves and forces his opponents to use thosr or a brand built like em, cause its hard to get a KO with those gloves. Those arte a boxers glove. Its the type and way the gloves are padded.

Maidana probably shifted around the padding so his knuckles can pierce through. It still weighs the same but less padding around the knuckles. Tyson talked about this and used to do it himself, thats why if you pay attention his gloves used to be pulled way back and he kept pushing his gloves in.
Floyd fights you usually see Grant or Winning or some hybrid.
Surprised Maidana wanted to go with everlast---I've never used their $400 gloves but Everlasts always seemed thick in the knuckles to me.
Reyes gloves=recipe to breaking your hand or KO'ing your opponent. I got a pair of low end grants ($200, 14oz) and they're excellent for your knuckles/wrist. GGG does the same thing with his gloves that iron mike did

Now I remember it was Panama Lewis' fighter Luis Resto fought Bill Collins, Jr.

At the end of the fight Collins' father and trainer, Billy, Sr., noticed that Resto's gloves felt thinner than normal and demanded that they be impounded.[1] A subsequent investigation by the New York State Boxing Commission concluded that Resto's trainer, Panama Lewis, had removed an ounce of padding from each glove. It made Resto's punches harder and more damaging to Collins. The fight result was changed to a no-contest.
