I have seen guys get knocked out with 18oz gloves, that can definitely happen. I have seen guys get cut with 18oz gloves, that can happen too.
All I'm saying that anyone who says they have ever fought pro, and don't understand the difference between 18 or 16oz sparring gloves with headgear and 8oz or 10 oz gloves and no head gear, has never fought in their life.
It's a world of difference and it's the reason you have had great amateur fighters not do well in the pro ranks. Someone like Rigondaux for example, dominates people when he spars, because it's hard to hurt him with so much protection on and it's only a few rounds of sparring.
Yet he fights a guy in Marroquin, who is a good fighter but isn't on the same level and get's his bell rung not once, but twice in the fight. Small gloves, and no head gear is a completely different game.

mabye it was just my style ive never had trouble with guys with power, at all. guys who get me are just more skilled and and box or have crazy endurance so he was kind of just winging his shots and it intimidates alot of people. i think he is a solid guy who like the business of boxing had a fairly easy path up. he will face a test sooner or later. im not knocking the kid though im a fan and he is exciting. that sparring was probably two year ago.
