Good idea

[@moaningpheromones]

can i just test this out on your kidney mate? just 70%?

Not really no as fighters would end up smashing the bag and that would be classed as manipulating the glove prior the fight for your advantage. The glove should be close to unworn as possible going into the fight to keep it fair.

How are they questionable if they are signed off on? I think you need to think of the term "always" just because Dillian Whyte's team cried about them doesn't equate to always that's only one other instance and the commission approved them.

[@adamoxen]

[@leeturton9254]

I don't think ajs ever worn everlasts ..its always grants or rivals... that's definitely down to his coach?...errol Spence wears everlasts does charlo?

[@NoeGarcia-mo2zv]

Spence is sponsored by everlast AJ usually prefers Rivals or grants. But he probably picked the everlasts due to the minimal padding as they are made of horse hair.

[@satpadda149]

That’s a myth all gloves are opened and checked by commissions for an equal and consistent amount of padding and evenly distributed horsehair else they simply don’t approve them. The only thing you can vary on is the grade of leather which everlast often use a thin grain making the glove look used almost and thin as such.

[@NoeGarcia-mo2zv]

@@satpadda149 not a myth, i own a pair of the same gloves AJ picked. I also have winnings, hayabusas and a pair of cleto reyes. The everlast mx punchers glove have way less padding. And if you had them yourself and used them you can just tell they don’t have that soft foam inside

[@satpadda149]

@@NoeGarcia-mo2zv I work for a glove manufacturer and I have all of those gloves as samples opened up in front of me. I think I know what I’m talking about. Thanks mate.

[@satpadda149]

@@NoeGarcia-mo2zv Every horsehair model on the market isn’t just horsehair they are actually hybrid as you have to have a piece of foam in the glove as well to give structure, some manufacturers simply either put that piece of foam next to the outer fist areas first and some choose to put horsehair first and foam on the outer which makes you feel as though there’s less padding but actually there’s still both components in every horsehair model.

[@BUCKLEKNUCKLE62]

Franklin has quick hands like usyk and he has a good chin and can go the distance. Usyk didn't have the knock out power but Franklin has. I wouldn't be surprised if AJ runs out of ideas again and gets hit by a right hook which will floor him. IMO AJ needs to over power Franklin from the off and finish him within 4 rounds, otherwise he's in trouble. Only my opinion.

[@zigzagnemesist5074]

Franklin is more similar to Ruiz in my opinion. He’s a shorter fighter that comes in a sort of squat stance and throws fast combinations.

Comparing Franklin to usyk..... Now i've heard it all. Usyk doesnt just have fast hands , He has boatloads of ring IQ.
