Will the new UFC gloves water down the sport and reduce KOs?

[Intermission]

I fear that they will. Pereira needed to hit Roundtree half a dozen times and correct me if i'm wrong but rountreee doesn't have a stellar chin??

How does the padding differ?

Yes, the new gloves reduce impact by 50%. Alex would only have needed 6 punches instead of a dozen with the old gloves.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

They pretty much already have

Very funny. What is the true answer?

 

[Söze Aldo]

The new gloves suck and look very cheap but I don't see the scientific basis as to how the slightly less padded gloves bring down KOs.

Which fights are you thinking of?

They look soft, like boxing gloves. Pillowish. The impact is probably much weaker.

I hate them!!!

There was a thread a few weeks ago that broke it all down with data and facts, there has been a lot more decisions in UFC since the new gloves came in, TKO/KOs were down a lot

Also the entire point why they brought the new gloves in was to stop eyepokes, the new slim fit gloves are supposed to make everyones fingers curl lol, but I'm seeing eyepokes in every UFC event, its exactly the same, not less and not more, its just the same.

They should just get the old UFC gloves back, these new super slim fit ones are not an upgrade, also they are upsetting JBG

Either your math or your verb tenses are backwards.

You realize this isn't part of a dissertation, right? No one grades or edits for verb tense on Sherdog. Most here don't even know what that means.

The sentence was so mangled it was indecipherable. I know the whole country is anti-intellectual right now but you can get right the fuck off my dick.

Thanks for going back and editing your broke ass sentence though.

Wow, got a chip on your shoulder, huh? Consider a few things:
1) If you want to be a grammar cop on Sherdog, you have a lot of work to do. Many here don't even use capitals and punctuation.
2) No one else seems to have had a hard time comprehending what I meant, and honestly, I don't think it takes a genius.
3) Your post sounds as anti-intellectual as can be.
4) It isn't that serious, go have a beer and relax.
