big massive pillows for gloves
You know twenty-five years in a sport as hard as boxing is a long time. And when your body’s staring to break
up, which it was. Pain, I couldn’t spar, big massive pillows for gloves and you know everything aches more and more, and then I think I was thirty-six at the time.
Does it mean that he wasn't wearing boxing gloves and punched not boxing bag, but big pillows?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

soft padding
rephrase => It is so painful that I couldn't spar. even though I used very soft padding for my gloves, it still hurts...
