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

    10 ounce gloves give more protection on the knuckle, not the whole thing mainly.

    People who use 10 ounce gloves hurt others less, and also protect their own knuckles.

    Maidana was allowed to use his own 8 ounce gloves, and Khan's team wanted to use the Reebok glvoes, and Diaz wnated it weighed. When it was weighed, they found out it was 9.5 ounces (9.5 came from an article I read on Sat night).


    If Khan forced both to use 10 ounce gloves, then oK, but he was suppose to use his Reebok glvoes for contract purpsoes and was happy when he had to use Everlast.

      Khan got hit with clean punches from Maidana who was wearing 8oz gloves. Anyone think that Bradley or Alexander (weaker punches) are going to KO Khan with 10oz gloves? I doubt it.

          they were trying to play mind games with khan.

          it didn't really work though because dan rafael reported than khan actually preferred everlast.

          he only wears reebok because of his contract with them.

          because of reebok's mistake he got to use the gloves he prefers.

                no bro

                106-140 = 8oz

                147 = 10oz, unless BOTH fighters agree to wear 8oz

                154+ = 10oz

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

                  10oz is not permitted at 140. that's against the rules. it's not like khan let anyone do anything. he didn't have a choice

                    actually, when you actually have some level of strenght, that **** can be too light for you to really notice unless your holding both type gloves in each hand to feel the difference

                    but ofcourse a geek like you would'nt know that
