According to Dan Rafael -

Hey Dan, I've heard some rumblings about Khan-Maidana being fought with 10 ounce gloves instead of 8 since they're fighting in Vegas. Can you clear this up?
------------------------------------------------------------
Rafael:They are fighting with 8-ounce gloves, according to the Nevada commission.
i don't think it makes much difference either way.
But do you know if they are actually using 8oz gloves?
A bit surprising and ballsy if Khan was to agree to that.
I was told to send 8s and 10s but according to Fat Dan they are using 8s
It's 140 pounds I wouldn't expect anything else.
The fight is in Las Vegas, and the NSAC has a rule in order that states fights above 135 are to be with 10 ounce gloves. However, they amended the rule in 2008 after Arum met with them and persuaded them to change their policies prior to Cotto-Margarito. Now junior welterweights and welterweights are allowed to wear 8 ounce gloves if both sides agree on them. If they can't agree on glove size, then the fight will be fought with 10 ounces.
its 140 they should always be laced in 8oz , i dont like the rule pf 10oz for 147 10oz should be worn by 154pounders up it shouldnt be a choice for the little guys
hmm would like to know myself, so those everlast gloves you mentioned what are its attributes?
they are essentially our answer to the Reyes glove with a mixture of foam and horse hair with a treated leather that makes it softer than our regular glove staying on the skin longer to cause more damage
definitely a punchers glove
that's something I have asked and no one has an answer
I know we don't make their gloves for them but not sure if maybe Lonsdale or someone else might
from what I hear they are padded pretty heavily

That's the most likely scenario.
are Khans gloves actually Reebok or just the logo embedded on it??
