Do people honestly believe that Khan didn't know his Reebok gloves were 10oz?

      If they fought with 10 oz gloves and lost the fight, his team would've complained like Manny and his team did when he lost to Morales. Khan would've used the excused of not having the right gloves for the fight and that's why he lost the fight.

        Khan tried to use 10 oz gloves, but Diaz spotted it and Khan was forced to choose different gloves.

          No im fairly sure 10oz gloves are the norm at 135+ in Nevada but if both fighters agree, they can go to 8oz

              10oz gloves give you more protection when you block punches, maybe that"s why khan wanted them.

                  They were 9.5 ounces...

                  Obviously a mistake...

                  Also if you know anything about boing, you can not use used gloves for a fight. If they were custom for the fight that is.

                    Again

                    Why would Khan let Maidana use 8oz instead of having them both wear 10 oz?

                      I made it to the SECOND PAGE before someone pointed that out!

                      I thought I was gonna be the first! More padding (10oz) means boxing. Less padded knuckles means slugging.

                      The details of the incident on the Ariza video where he rails on Diaz like the self centred egomaniac he has suddenly become.
