37 fights since new gloves. Only 5 KOs/ TKOs

[Espresso]

37 fights have taken place since new gloves were introduced.
Only 5 KOs/ TKOs have happened (not counting Perez knee injury).

Thoughts?

Mod note- for comparison there were 12 KOs/TKOs in the 37 fights before the new gloves, with 3 of those of non punching means (a knee, a kick, and a cut stoppage, so 9 gloved KO/TkOs)

Not good for business.

Maybe add some plaster to the padding?

If boxing can have knockouts in 8oz gloves there’s no reason to slim down the gloves from 4oz.

Maybe for easier grappling but there have always been submissions of every card.

Plus they look like ass.

How many KOs in the 37 fights BEFORE the new gloves?

Probably has a lot to do with tonight’s card being almost predominantly Flyweights and Bantamweights.

Get four wives and then they surely could not deny your right to wear four wedding rings lol.

Me, I am just scanning the internet for more wives (one is MORE THEN ENOUGH)

Really tho - just chilling, finishing off some paperwork and gonna hit the wine bottle soon. Then probably some cooking probably

How are you convalescing? Back home?

I'm bored with my 2 cats sleeping on me (can't move). Just watching TV and scanning Sherdog, fixing to pass out for the night probably.

More eye pokes, fewer KOs. Who asked for these gloves? lolz

I can't tell you the 37 exact fights, but I can tell you the basic averages. Focusing on 37 fights on the other side makes no sense anyway because we have a much bigger sample size to compare to with the old gloves.

2021: 33%
2022: 33%
2023: 31%

5/37 (if these are the real numbers) = 14%

We still obviously need a bigger sample size but the trend is starting to indicate there could be a problem. We will wait and see.

I skipped this card...had no interest in watching, like 0. Only fight I wanted to see was the Ikram fight, and that was gone.

Bring back the old gloves, because these fuckin things haven't thwarted a single eye poke.
Also it seems like almost nobody can generate power with them...even fighters that normally have pop.


These gloves remind me of the recent upgrade of this site.
Seemed like a good idea at the time, but as hindsight goes...it wasn't.

There are lies, damn lies, then there are statistics.

Was gunna make a thread similar to this myself, funny enough. Gotta see how the next few cards come out though, esp with Paotan.

Not a statistically significant sample.

This is one of the more retarded invocations of this cliche I have seen.
