Why is it ******? I think it is something to think about and most of what is in that article is known as truth except the weight issue and prefight promo stuff, but everything else has been stated before. Why does Oscar want to get a smaller ring and make him wear puncher's gloves and take the lion's share of the money. He is supposed to be bigger and stronger so why does he need so many advantages to even get in the ring. You know why, Oscar is weak and he was hoping Floyd didn't sign the contract. he knows he can't win on even terms and he is trying to skew the atmosphere. it's like trying to have the Super Bowl in your hometown. I didn't like it when SRL did it to Hagler and I dont like it now. The fight is already being at 154 lbs, that should be all he needs...Comment

I'll see what I can find, but Oscar is getting the lion's share which we all know. And Floyd has stated that he must wear Reyes' gloves which are puncher's glove, which we all know. I'll see what I can find about the ring size...Comment

I'm surprised alot of the people here on BS are surprised about this article. DLH has been doing this for years in his career. He knows he can set all these guidelines before a fight and he does. He fought Tito at 147 when he knew he was struggling to make the weight and they fought in a big ring. Vargas was the same maybe worse. They fought in a big ring and they had to use 10 ounce gloves. This was when the minimum and basically standard glove size was 8 ounce up to 154, 10 oz from 160 on up. Now its 8 ounce up to 130, 10 ounce from 135 on up. For the Hopkins fight again they fought in a big ring and the "middleweight weigh in" limit was set for 157 pounds I think I'm not sure may have been 156 or 158. The point is he's been doing this for awhile and I'm not surprised. He's made it so Mayweather Jr. and himself wear Reyes gloves knowing about his brittle hands and his advantage in punching power. The ring will be small. Mayweather Jr. has to weigh in at 151 at the weigh in and has to be at least 153 night of the fight. The weight is he's obviously trying to slow down PBF so he can catch him the night of the fight. Again this is just standard practice for DLH. Now please don't start bashing me for being a DLH hater. I'm just stating what he's done. Yes I'm from Puerto Rico but I'm a fan of DLH and I do believe he won against Trinidad so...
PS I'm a fan of Tito alsoComment
