      I know we don't make their gloves for them but not sure if maybe Lonsdale or someone else might

      from what I hear they are padded pretty heavily
      But do you know if they are actually using 8oz gloves?

      A bit surprising and ballsy if Khan was to agree to that.

        Khan is trying to prove a point.
        A few months ago, half of nsb was saying Khan was a bish and wouldnt fight Maidana. Now, the fight is 1 week away.

              Khan had the choice to either fight Maidana or vacate. Don't try to make it sound like he wanted the fight.

                    The fight is in Las Vegas, and the NSAC has a rule in order that states fights above 135 are to be with 10 ounce gloves. However, they amended the rule in 2008 after Arum met with them and persuaded them to change their policies prior to Cotto-Margarito. Now junior welterweights and welterweights are allowed to wear 8 ounce gloves if both sides agree on them. If they can't agree on glove size, then the fight will be fought with 10 ounces.

                      I was told to send 8s and 10s but according to Fat Dan they are using 8s
