why do you have do you have to point cotto out?there speaking about two fighters..

because I think it is Cotto who has said he wont fight with 10oz gloves. Tony has been on record saying he doesnt care.

ok show me a link where he says that then.where does cotto say it?the **** outa here.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Either way it's a going to be a good fight. I can't wait.

[Scott9945]

Bull****. If Cotto wants to fight in Vegas he should have to fight by the rules.

If anything 10 oz gloves would be better for him then 8 oz...This raises questions like can Cotto punch with 10 oz? It's better for the fans if it's 10 oz gloves. More punches thrown because Cotto is less likely to get hurt or break a hand.

Why won't they fight with 10 oz gloves? Keither Kizer should never agree to this.

If they agree to this, they should change the ****** rule permanently. Otherwise it appears that Nevada is compromising their rules just for the money this fight will bring in. That makes them look REAL BAD.

[Mr. David]

The rule was a bad rule to begin with, done in reaction to Leavander Johnson's death. Heavier gloves means less knockouts and more blows to the head, hence more danger of fatal brain injuries, not less.

still waiting...................

[nozorok]

still waiting...................

It's common knowledge that Cotto will only fight with 8oz gloves which means he won't fight in Vegas with big 10oz gloves.



"According to Arum, Cotto would balk at wearing anything other than his customary 8-ounces of leather."

sorry I dont stay on here 24/7

uh lets see

here is one where Arum (no not Cotto my apologies) is quoted as saying Cotto wont fight with 10oz gloves

http://www.maxboxing.com/Kim/Kim041708.asp

here is another from the Vegas Insider that says the same thing:

http://www.vegasinsider.com/boxing/story.cfm/story/681140

it mentions Margarito also but he has been on record that he will fight with 10oz gloves

no quote from Cotto but will look further

[AntonTheMeh]

HE'S NOT QUOTED AS SAYING IT.it says according to arum.

[nozorok]

HE'S NOT QUOTED AS SAYING IT.it says according to arum.

So Arum is lying and going through all the trouble of setting up a meeting with the NSAC to change the rule just for the hell of it? Tell me you're not this dense.
