Pretty sure TS is trollingNot a statistically significant sample.

This is one of the more retarded invocations of this cliche I have seen.
Was gunna make a thread similar to this myself, funny enough. Gotta see how the next few cards come out though, esp with Paotan.
I think it's more to do with the quality of the cards post UFC 300. They stacked that card so massively and the best they have been able to do since is Islam vs Poirer.37 fights have taken place since new gloves were introduced.
Only 5 KOs/ TKOs have happened (not counting Perez knee injury).
Thoughts?
This card was full of bird-boned midgets, so it was expected.
Let's check back in at 100 fights.37 fights have taken place since new gloves were introduced.

You haven't seen that many apparently
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.
Just bring back the pride gloves. I dont remember many eye pokes in pride. And mahfuggas had pop in those thingsBring 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.
I dont think the ouncage of the gloves is as indicative as people think and I've always thought fans, boxers, fighters etc are idiots in this regard.
1. They've done tests on punching force relative to 8oz/10oz boxing gloves and 4oz gloves, the two tests I've seen, one indicated no significant difference and the other indicated boxing gloves hit a bit harder due to more mass at the end of the fist generating additional force.
2. So if an MMA glove is 4oz and a boxing glove is 8oz, do you think that means a boxing glove has TWICE the padding ON THE KNUCKLES where you actually use the fucking fist to strike with? Of course not...it's more so the giant part of the glove that covers the palm, the fingers, the thumb especially and of course it goes further up the wrist and forearm where it laces....that's where most of the additional weight is, not so much over the striking part of the hand.
3. Just personally, have worn and competed in both, I always found myself more secure in punching hard with boxing gloves and like I punch harder/better. I also always found MMA gloves kinda stiff on the hands.
