Stop it, even the commission told him to get that shyt out of there. Team Maidana was looking for an advantage, they gonna get this work instead :ufdup:

we dont need an edge. Floyd needs one. Dude probably put EXTRA padding on the grants. :ufdup:

I threw my colicash on the stoppage before all this fukkery, there is no doubt in my mind Floyd is going to stop him now :heh:
dunno if he will stop him but I definitely think he will punish him more than he's punished anyone in quite awhile. I hope I'm right and the distractions didn't get to him.

At first, I scoffed it off, but with the way Floyd felt them, I can understand his concern. After seeing Assault in the Ring, I don't EVER want to see another Luis Resto situation again.

But listen, I think there's an underlying layer here. When Floyd fought Cotto, I believe Cotto was allowed to wear Everlast, not as hard as Reyes, nowhere near as soft as Grant. That's why Floyd wears Grant, to protect his well-known brittle hands. Even still, he finds a way to hurt them during fights.

Anyways, I think those gloves were one reason Cotto was able to bust up Floyd's nose. Knowing Floyd, he wants Maidana to change to a more softer brand of glove. Hopefully, the commission will not bend over backwards and let Chino wear his own choice, but provided that they are tampered with in any way. whatsoever.

Also, I kinda think this is some last-minute ploy to draw more hype into the fight (part of the reason why I felt Floyd revealed all that shyt about Miss Jackson), as well as a way to get into Maidana's head.

At least, that's what I think. :yeshrug:
