      Oscar, Manny is used to these. It'll be a break for Oscar. It won't make a boig difference though.

                      This is gonna sound funny but either way its an advantage to De La Hoya. With the 8 ounce gloves I can see him really putting a hurt on Pacman, but with 10 ounce gloves that would be bigger than Pac has ever fought with.

                          Manny could fit in a 12oz glove.

                              I may be wrong, but I have been under the impression for some time that fights fought at, or under 154lbs are fought in 8oz gloves, while all others are fought in 10oz gloves.

                                  sounds about right, i think some fights can be different based on contract... i know heavyweights fight with 12's i believe
