Incorrect, the official weight of the gloves used in title fights according to the rules of the WBC,WBA,IBF, and all major sanctioning bodies is 8 oz. From 147 down, and 10 oz. for 160 and up, 154 is the median. You may use 10 oz gloves in the WW division through agreements and negotiations with both parties, but official weight of gloves is 8 oz... I'll post the rules if needed

The information i got was he was going with the new Everlast gloves but because they were newly made he didnt want to take a risk of trying them out in a big fight like this one.

Mosley should wear the Everlast MX Gloves!
But seriously i dont think its a big factor.

not surprised, Mosley was training with Grant gloves throughout 24/7 so I assumed he would fight with them... what size are they using? standard 10oz or did they go with 8oz?

I think a lot of fighters use grant and winning during training, probably for the extra hand protection.

10oz gloves wouldn't be as advantageous to the weaker puncher as a lot of people would think. Your hand speed wouldn't be as fast for one.

Grants aye... they should use the clitorous gloves.

didnt mosley wear winning and grant through training. mayweather used to wear winning, but i was surprised to see mosley without reyes. grants definetly becoming bigger.
