Same reason the NSAC bans them now, shyt looked like a used glove from the 20s
Mayweather: Maidana Caught Me With a Good Shot
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
Have y'all ever worn a pair of 'punchers' gloves? Maidanas a puncher and Floyd had all the leverage, pretty simple. If you go from Grant's(where you have to push hard as fukk to feel the knuckle), to MX's or Reyes's you'd think there was some padding removed. It's how they structure the padding for strong wrist support( more tension allowed at POI), as opposed to strong knuckle support.

Like I said he had it in his mind Maidana was trying to be slick so he was gonna refuse those gloves no matter what. To me it looked like a "oh you trying to do me dirty, I got something for you" type situation. He first said "put him in the same shyt as me" meaning Grants which are more padded in the knuckle area than the Everlast but still good gloves GGG wears Grants. The powerlocks get an undue rep, while its true they are a bit more padded in the knuckle than MXs they are still a solid more streamlined glove. Lopez broke Ortiz jaw with powerlocks, Canelo snatched James Kirklands soul with powerlocks, Provodnikov wears powerlocks. Even Robert Garcia said that a lot of guys in his gym like the powerlocks and that they were good gloves Marcos just wasnt used to using them.
there's more to that than the glove....ortiz decided he wanted to eat uppercuts like it was the thing to do..shyt i wasn't even surprised thats what happened lol

The thing is though that if the gloves were really "pillows" or whatever other bullshyt was being thrown out then he wouldnt have been able to do so.
Ill tell you Ortiz didnt want to eat them hes just a dummy fighter. His guard is garbage as fukk, hes open to uppercuts all day, he keeps his elbows chicken winged instead of tucked in nor does he stay consistently high and tight, he leans forward all the damn time and the weakness in his guard is magnified when he goes on the offensive because hes to slow put his guard back in place and half the time he leaves it lowered by few more inches opening him up further to not just the uppercut but the hook as well.
have someone hit u in the face with a mx glove then with a powerlock and come back and tell me how that went.
Did you read my post? It has to do with ability to push more torque through your wrist or your knuckles. Have you boxed before?

Your sounding kinda ignorant right about now so ill put you on to game breh. Yes I have been hit by both I have also been hit by Cletos, Winning, Grants,Title, Proforce to name a few but at the end of the day it doesnt really make a big difference in the glove though its about the man hitting you and how you take the hit.
dont get all technical... i know which gloves gives u more damage.
of course it matters what man is hitting u, also what glove hes wearing.
You know he's referencing Winning (the most padded 'hand friendly' glove) and Cleto's reyes in the same anecdote correct?

It really doesn't especially if your using training gloves which are usually 12 ounces up to 16 ounces as opposed to the competition gloves that are only 8-10 ounces even then its really almost exclusively about the man hitting you
and the way you take the punch.
.... breh ur talking nonsense now... ur best bet is to ask that question in a boxing forum where u will get a lot of hits on the question and see how that goes for u.and yes of course it matters whos hitting u
u shouldnt even have to add that, its common sense.

What question? I didnt ask a question, I made a statement.
I have sparred with guys who have used pretty much every glove I ever heard of and some at the time I didnt know existed. Ive personally only used a handful (no pun intended) of gloves myself because usually when you
find a brand or a few brands you really like you stick with those brands for years. The difference (in my experience anyhow) in a fighters gloves when they do switch brands is negligible at best, although I will say that's usually because you stick to a similar feeling glove. The reason for differences in gloves at all is all about how they feel to you on your hand not about one glove giving you special KO powers or something.
