Any clue?

What size gloves do Middleweight and Super Middleweights use for a pro fight? What is the weight of the gloves? Ive been told before that pros use 8-10 oz gloves for fights, but Im not sure what size they use at MW and SMW... Any info would be helpful, and if possible, please cite your resource!

Thats what I figured... Cuz I know alot of guys in WW and smaller divisions like 8 oz gloves, but Ive heard most heavyweight fights use 10 oz gloves... Just need to know what size is mostly used for 160-168

Here's the WBO rules:

30) 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.

Not a problem.

Seems like every boxing fan should have at least the WBO/WBC official rules bookmarked. It makes it so much easier to whine about something later when you can just copy and paste the rulebook.

Also: As an added bit of information for you and others, did you know each fighter must let the WBC know if they will be drinking electrolytes?

Didnt know that lol but i'll take a wild guess and say it has something to do with the Aaron Pryor infamous water bottle incident from when he fought Arguello?
