As for the dumb@ss who thinks he knows the rules, here is the copy of the WBO rules since the WBO Welterweight belt is up for grabs in that match.
WEIGHT OF THE GLOVES
The weight of the gloves to be used in World Championship contests shall be as follows:
From Mini Flyweight to Welterweight, eight (8) ounce gloves shall be used.
From Jr. Middleweight to Heavyweight, ten (10) ounce gloves shall be used.
The weight of gloves to be used is determined by the weight classification at the official weight-in, not the weight of the fighters at the time of the contest.
