Las Vegas are hypocrites, and Boxing Gloves need to lighter

Heavier gloves are actually more likely to cause a fatality than lighter gloves. LIghter, smaller gloves, however, tend to cause more facial fractures, cuts and other superficial damage. This kind of makes sense, but do you have any articles or some kind of data to back this up?

They should lower the weight of gloves. At least let the fighters pick the weight. It's a good idea in theory, but it would just be more bullshit to get through when a fight is being made...especially when the fighters have opposite styles.

I don't see why a lightweight and a heavyweight should use the same size gloves. That makes absolutely no sense... Well said.

This might have been discussed already, but I am new here. Las Vegas uped the Gloves for Boxers to wear, which every boxing fan probably knows that by now, but my question is WHY? MMA, which will be fighting soon in Vegas, uses 4oz gloves. WTF is up with that? I am all for 4oz gloves. Shit, I think 4oz gloves should be used in BOXING, but I find it bullshit that Vegas makes boxers wear 10 oz gloves for these welters, but MMA, no problem.:nonono: LAS VEGAS, home of Hookers, DRUG DEALERS, CRIME, CORRUPTION, and GAMBLING. Lets take GAMBLING for example: There is that saying that goes something like, "The House may lose once in a while, but in the end, the House always wins." So what happens when the majority of time the "HOUSE" wins? The Losers (which are the common folk, usually with serious addictions), lose their rent money, then lose their family, job, get wasted, then BLOW THEIR FUCKING HEAD OFF. So, Gambling causes "DEATH" too. Yes, a few die each year in boxing, but I bet VEGAS is responsible for far more deaths than Boxing. So, I will Fuck your Hookers, and by your drugs, but don't expect me to back you on the increasing of weight for Boxing Gloves.:boxing: I agree with you, we had enough controversy between Grant and Reyes gloves as it is. Soon there will be controversy on punchers wanting the fight in NY or other state and boxers going to Vegas. This is the type of crap that is bringing boxing down.

Well, VEGAS made the choice to up the weight on boxing gloves, didn't they? You see my point? I am for Gambling, Hookers, drugs, etc. It is your choice. So let Boxers have a choice on Glove size. See my point? yes I do..

Gambling like boxing and almost everything else in life is a CHOICE.. Vegas has killed no one.. people seriously need to stop looking for blame and take some responsibilty for their actions...

For all my detailed thoughts on this very fucking stupid ruling, look up "the nevada glove rule" when you search for threads. It pisses me off too much to talk about it again.
