Mayweather vs Maidana 2, Maidana's Mind Games

On Mayweather vs Maidana 2, the rematch set between 2 astounding fighters in their own right is already starting to heat up again especially about controversies. If the issue about the gloves that was supposedly to force Maidana into using a set that was not custom-made for Maidana himself, Maidana said it wasn't as comfortable as he is used compared the gloves he wanted to use for their rematch on September, Mayweather vs Maidana 2.

If you thought that issue, was finally resolved, then you thought wrong, as apparently, Maidana still insists on using his custom made gloves, the Everlast MMX Gloves on their rematch. As to Mayweather's objection over the request due to lack of padding in the knuckles. Well, there's is still definitive news on whether Maidana will be allowed to use his preferred gloves or he will have to make do with whatever gloves the standard procedure calls on for, although it appears to be unlikely that Mayweather would give ground on that issue anytime soon. Making matters worse, than what it already is, it seems like a recurring theme, throughout the promotion of Mayweather vs Maidana 2.

Maidana had this to say:

"I want to use my gloves. I don’t hit that hard. I don’t hit as hard as Canelo," said Maidana, during a 15-minute conference call with reporters on Monday in advance of his Sept. 13 rematch with Mayweather. "But the gloves are not a big issue. I’m going to beat him no matter what gloves I use."

Confusing is it not? 1st insisting to want to use his custom-made gloves and then stating and probably taunting Mayweather as well, that he can beat him no matter the gloves be his preferred ones or the standard issue. Seems to me, he's playing mind games as to what he said in the press conferrence that he will come in this fight at Mayweather vs Maidana 2 with more wits, he'll take on Mayweather in a much subtler and smarter approach.
