Even HBO had to explain that Floyd's air bags were OK to use.

Anybody who says boxing gloves don't matter... better do their research.

But that's the gloves they decided on, and Judah lost.
Fair statement, but Zab was landing until Floyd made adjustments, and even after that, most of the punches Zab missed with were weaved, not blocked. So really, how did they help? Maybe by cushioning his hands, but like you said, Zab agreed. Same gloves or different, the outcome would have been the same. It's not like those gloves got bigger.
