    yes it is

    Nevada's default size is 10oz for any fight 135lbs and up

    both sides have to agree to using 8oz gloves for any fight 135 140 or 147 for them to be allowed to use 8s

    I have been told Khan's people want 10s Maidana 8s

      I hate that rule. 10 oz. gloves on 140 pounders? just seems so unnecessary.

        agreed but this was a result of the Johnson Chavez fight.

        some like myself theorize that having 10oz gloves on smaller fighters may actually be worse because there won't be as many quick knockouts and more of a sustained beating

          Exactly. Wasn't that fight a prolonged beating? Fights like Marg/Pac are a lot worse for a guy than Hatton/Pac.

            Which is pretty logical considering the matchup and considering it's 10oz gloves by default in Nevada anyway I find it ridiclous that some people call it cheating or cowardly. I mean what do you guys expect? That Khan was suddenly gonna ask for 8oz gloves? Come on now.

              Has Con ever worn 8oz gloves in a fight since the Prescott demolition job?
              I was about to place a bet on Maidana but if they wear 10oz gloves it will slow him down and makes it alot easier for Con to defend his glass jaw and decreases Maidanas power as well
              That's not enough to stop Maidana from landing a hard enough punch to KO khan if he has the glass jaw a lot of people think he does.

                I just came back from Thailand where I watched a lot of Muay Thai. Most fights ended in a big KO - but those guys had literally had couple hundred fights, so most of those guys have been knocked out at least 20 times (if your good) - their as right as rain and completely with it.

                One fighter even showed me to seat on my entry, got brutally knocked out, and said goodbye to me and my girlfriend when we left, to be fair he was a little wobbly by then - but still. An early KO is fine.

                  well to be fair most fights I glove in Nevada that are 135 140 or 147 the fighters ask for 8oz gloves

                  Khan is well within his right to not say anything and have Nevada default to 10 but with the rule change it's not the norm
