Floyd mandates the FLUFFY gloves for his Maidana 2 match!

[Freedom]

Floyd is no ring warrior, that's for sure.

What a load of horse hair.

[C.J.Rock]

Oh don't worry the officials have all been given the script I have a sad feeling that Kenny Bayless, a usually very competent ref, will follow the script like Joe Cortez did with Ricky Hatton. & just stop Maidana from fighting his fight. I'm also surpised Floyd hasn't insisted Marcos be blindfolded & have one leg in a sling. He'd get his wish in Vegas if he did

I'd like to know what the fine print says both in contracts signed and what the NSAC says in its own rule book.
If its up to the fighter then spell it out instead of causing another shit storm. If they can bring any glove universally approved then why is Maidana not bringing cleto reyes? Was it the Cleto Reyes factory that made these Everlasts? Whats the deal with these everlasts are they magic or are they a cleverly hidden pair of cleto reyes? This glove gate seems easily solved. Release the details and stop what is sure to become more rabid speculation

I kind of blame the NSAC for dropping the ball in the first installment. You would think that boxing gloves would be the first priority to nail down in any fight let alone one at this level. Its actually daft to once again be in this comedy skit again. Its not even a deflection. Its an illustration of incompetence shared jointly by all parties. At least we all knew from the start that Leonard got glove choice with Hagler because it was part of the contract and public knowledge.

This fight has gone stupid. The dual belts, the glove weight 8 or 10 and now this and Maidana is now threatening to walk.

HEMMHOROID Floyd keeps proving what a little bitch he is. I bet he doesnt even USE gloves when he beats on women, though. Hemmhoroid Floid will be in jail getting ass-raped by the time he is 42 years old

I bet Everlast makes a Reyes knock off.

I bet Everlast makes a Reyes knock off.

Everlast is the biggest and most clumsiest of the brands... it's real old school.

Me, personally, I prefer the Reyes. After that I'd do the TKO's. Can't stand the Everlast or Grant's... too big, too clumsy, and they slide all around your wrist and hand.

People need an angle to sell this fight because Floyd will win the fight easy and there is no other excitement to the fight.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question but is 'MX' an abbreviation of Mexico?

I noticed that Cleto Reyes website is .mx and I think the penny has just dropped

Oh for the love of......

Even though the fights are sanctioned by the NSAC, floyd waits till this late date to pull these little BS things with money as leverage. Even if the NSAC said the gloves are legal, floyd will suddenly trip and fall in the dressing room and hurt himself in front of no witnesses... fights off. The opponents (Chino in this case) know that if they want their check and they don't want 3 months of training to go to $hit, they have to concede...

B*tch Move... People should boycott this fight on PPV. The challenger usually gets a fixed amount as long as he fights. Its guys like floyd that get percentages of PPV, gate, etc. So Maidana should get all the money he was promised and floyd gets less than he is expecting for playing these games.

Can we get 50 cent a seat near floyds corner? It would be hilarious to see Chino mandate the fight be for belts and a library card at the weigh in ..or final press conference.
