This video makes me feel like I am actually not crazy. I’ve always hated getting hit with hyabusas specifically because of how dense they are and I felt like it was not talked about.
Some gloves absolutely suck to get hit with. I remember gel gloves stinging like hell, and I couldn’t imagine sparring with my old Windy’s - they were very hard. I hope the fight gloves are better
It's important to note that there is dirt in every single business. Banking, insurance, sports, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, it's everywhere. Not just fight promotions. There is dirt in politics. In law enforcement. In armed forces. In courts. In the corporate world. Not just the fighting organizations.
Yes, and whistle-blowers expose exactly what that dirt is and the public becomes then aware of it, like is the point of this video. Making a general statement of all the corporate world has dirt says nothing about exactly what that dirt is, you've made a comment wherein you basically shill and excuse the evidence and accusation here as "oh, well, EVERY business does it." which actually ISN'T important to note. Most aren't here to learn about dirt in banking and pharmaceuticals. This is a kickboxing/combat sports channel.
I once registered for the 81 kg ukmf (ifma muay thai of the uk sort of) category. (-6 fights novice category). I weighed in to my surprise at 78 ,and they didn't tell me to go down to 77, they just told me u registered 81 u will fight 81. I say that's cool. Little did i know there weren't any people at 81 so i get moved up at the 86 kg, against a mix of novices and pros. WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, noone told me anything. I thought damn these guys hit hard wtf. i won 1 and i ended up losing the finals by split decision vs a guy with 15 fights n pro mma experience in poland. Anyway,yeah noone is looking out for you
In 2001 I fought for an IKF International Rules Heavyweight World Title. We used Ringside gloves. They were rock hard! It felt like getting hit with a brick.
I got another example. Two months ago I had two of my guys fight in the Bergen classics. And they put a Norwegian champ against a green or new boxer. (some kickboxing) First round ko. And then and a fighter dropped out. So they put my other green boxers against a kickboxing world champ. On this fight my fighter did good and lost two rounds of 10-9. But just shows we as coaches need to look out for our fighters. We even protested the fights and the promoter just said its the name of the game. Our guys worked so hard for the fights and decided to continue.
Would you be able to make a video on maintaining balance when kicking? As a beginner a lot of us struggle with this so it’d be great to get your perspective on the root cause of this and how to solve it.
Gabriel I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair of gloves as a k1 fighter are cleto Reyes a good option (competing december 1st btw wish me luck guys)
Hey brother can you make a full video breakdown of rodtang left hook because his hook so power full and i want to know the technique especially the palm position of rodtang left hook can do the breakdown in your next video? Please
Isn't this obvious though? Bigger knockouts means more PPV, means more fans, means more money. Nobody really cares about fighters health, not until after their career. If you were to watch an all out slug fest between 2 fighters like gatti and ward today, you'd have people absolutely screaming for a rematch, exactly like they did back then. Is it ethical? Obviously not, but no one cares until we get the 60 minute special about CTE and the 50 year old fighter who slurs their words. It's the fighting business, we are here to watch people hurt each other, you can TRY your best to prevent injury, but really you wouldn't be here if people weren't getting hurt.
Aren't kick knockouts better for avoiding CTE? My understanding was that boxing is more dangerous than MMA because you get exposed to a bigger amount of smaller concussions.
I'm too soft I guess, as I don't want to be knocked-out and I don't want to knock someone out. I'd be worried if they wake up or not, if that's the one that ends their career, or is the nail in the coffin for CTE.
Enshittification. It's in all Industries. We never get the best product, we get what generates the most money. Even if it's detrimental to some or many, im this case the athletes. Everything is getting quantified.
Man, I had no idea Glory wold do such thing to get more KO's Gabriel, as well as not worry about fighter health. Well even the fight bussiness is pretty dirty itself, looking out for themselves instead of the fighters for money Man. Nice to know for me as a young and hungry Kickboxing fighter as well! 🥊
Great work Gabriel, I am a great fan of your channel! I am a 28yo guy that was competitive in taekwondo for 13 years (even faced a olimpic champion once), I've changed to muay thai for almost a year now but I wonder if I should go and compete or not, I was always afraid of injuries and not being able to work properly after a fight, would you consider competing at my age just for fun and testing myself or do you think it is to much risk involved? I destroy pretty much everyone in sparring even going light but I am really afraid of hurting my teeth and shins or to get cut badly and end up with a scar. I've never tried the pro path because I am an engineer and this world is just too much for a guy that is not 100% comited to it.
I think adding a bonus for finishes would be way better than changing the gloves, but it would in the end cost the promotions more money, so they most likely wouldn’t be interested in going down that road. Really sucks to because I think it would really change the outcomes of fights if dudes knew they could walk away 25k richer with a finish.
Hmmm this has always been a confusing topic. Because statistically speaking, using gloves only increase the amount of brain damage. The same goes for headgear (hence why the olympics no longer use head gear). This is all pretty counter intuitive. You'd think more gear, less brain damage, but the opposite seems to be true So are there actually stats that show, that smaller gloves create more knockout and more damage. I mean a lighter glove is also a.... Well lighter glove... which automatically means less weight at the end of the lever of the punch Or maybe once you gets past a certain glove size it no longer protects your hands further, but does decrease damage to the opponent. Because the hypothesis for why bareknuckle causes less brain damage is that people are more carefull, and so there are fewer strikes to the head. So maybe as soon as you put on a 4 ounce glove, all that extra safety is negated
@@user-he4ef9br7z Yeah, bareknuckle boxing has statistically less brain damage, and head gear increases brain damage (hence why the Olympics stopped using head gear)
promoters also don't care about paying the fighters with the exception of a very few top end professionals. I'm guessing promoters are making massive ratio profits. One FC does 1 million $ promotions over a few days (4 days?) and still make massive profits. The problem lies in demand to availability. Everyone is willing to fight for scraps, so all they get is scraps.
So, wait - Hayabusa actually confirmed to you that Glory pushed them to design a glove that is intentionally designed to be more unsafe? That sounds like grounds for a lawsuit
The glove thing is pretty skeevy. Re: weigh ins, I’d personally like to see same day weigh ins like at smaller regional competitions. I think it would make the fighters healthier, and honestly perform better- aside from being on a much more level playing field. So what if it means everybody goes up a weight class? But in defense of “the industry” at large, they kind of have to do the hat trick last minute replacements, catch weights, etc. if they don’t, they’ll go under. If they go under…. It might not be a pleasant truth, but it’s the way it is.
Well who would have known fighting is not safe and might get you hurt. If you don't want to be damaged do some semi-contact stuff or play chess nobody is forcing you
disgusting. i couldnt care less about the knock outs. i like the display of skills and techniques, the set ups and the strategising. a good fight s a good fight, who cares if it ends up in knock out or not.

Okay…so what is your point? That’s an obvious statement that most people already suspect
Yep. Most people choose to ignore this fact. They kinda know about the dodginess but they ignore true evil
There is no dirt in banking and insurance. Banking and insurance makes dirt dirty.
What? Are you gonna say water is wet too?
Anything having to do with power and/or profit tends to be corrupt AF.

Hot take : Short fights with big knock outs are less entertaining/interesting than 5 round technical fights with no finish.
They are sadly also more damaging to fighters brains often times
No. Fighters are way less technical by the time they get tired.
I agree
@@user-he4ef9br7z I guess it all depends on who is fighting. Superlek or Petchmorakot for instance, don't need a finish to give a great performance.
@@TheTMschannel because Ko's are not?
I suspected this. My original Hyabusa glove has some give, but the news ones are rock hard.

Anyway,yeah noone is looking out for you
You were so close to the truth Gabriel. The only way to look after yourselves is to have a fighters union to counter the power or the promotions
Imagine a fighter owned promotion and how dope the fights would be
The weighins should be right before the fight.

What harder gloves? Gabriel is making it seem like it’s not standard, especially compared to the previous generation of gloves.
@@bizmonkey007 I comment too Soon
Is it though? Other leagues have been doing this for years. Of course they don't care about safety, it's a fight.

Not a pro. Here's your grain of salt. That said, 4 oz. gloves for every striking sport to elevate the game to peak levels.
Blood sells...
At least bare knuckle leagues are honest.

A win by decision isn't an actual win.
Never make fighting your career, it''s a terrible choice, both financially and most of all healthwise.
