    Las Vegas are hypocrites, and Boxing Gloves need to lighter

    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. ****, I think 4oz gloves should be used in BOXING, but I find it bull**** that Vegas makes boxers wear 10 oz gloves for these welters, but MMA, no problem.


    LAS VEGAS, home of Hookers, DRUG DEALERS, CRIME, CORRUPTION, and ********.

    Lets take ******** 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 ****ING HEAD OFF.

    So, ******** 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 **** your Hookers, and by your drugs, but don't expect me to back you on the increasing of weight for Boxing Gloves.

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

        Well, VEGAS made the choice to up the weight on boxing gloves, didn't they?

        You see my point?

        I am for ********, Hookers, drugs, etc. It is your choice. So let Boxers have a choice on Glove size.

        See my point?

            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.

              They should lower the weight of gloves. At least let the fighters pick the weight.

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

                    It's a good idea in theory, but it would just be more bull**** to get through when a fight is being made...especially when the fighters have opposite styles.
