I've been taking a look back over the last 2/3 years of fights where brain injuries were sustained, and there's a huge correlation showing that the injuries sustained were caused at lower weights, with 8oz Reyes gloves. I think this is worth a look because it's actually quite staggering. Recent high level victims of brain injuries in fights include
Oscar Larios
Czar Amonsot
Victor Burgos
Leavander Johnson
Kostya Tszyu (rumour)
All of these injuries (one fatal) were sustained by 8oz Reyes gloves. Coincidence? If anyone else knows of a recent fight where an inury was sustained with a different type of glove I'd like to hear about it because there is something going on. Does anyone know what gloves Jirov was wearing against Joe Mesi?
