I'm sure they will be 8 oz gloves just like with SSM and JMM. WW are all using 8 oz now. Only people on here think it's some big concession by PBF to use 8 oz gloves.Comment

I absolutely detest 10oz gloves in welterweight fights. What's funny is Mayweather has complained about having to use 'pillows' before (Hatton/Oscar) so if they are fighting with 10oz you know it's Mayweather who has asked for them to blunt Ortiz's edge in power. I hope it's not the case!
And remember being Neveda both fighters have to agree for 8oz gloves to be used. To be fair Floyd has a good track record here and I can't recall him making anyone use 10oz gloves. I also believe him when he said he's going for the knockout so wearing 10oz doesn't make sense.Last edited by jcvd98; 09-12-2011, 09:37 AM.Comment

almost all commissions and sanctioning bodies require 10 oz above the 147 limit (ie the fight is at JR mw or above.)
obviously gloves can be used as a means of leveraging deals, but the general rule is observed more often than not. think about what might happen if a guy dies in a fight with smaller gloves than the commission regularly requires
my guess would be (and im only guessing because i havn't heard anything specific to the contrary from a verified source) that they will be using 8 oz gloves.
floyd in grant
ortiz in reyes
that's my guess.Comment

8oz gloves, contrary to popular belief Floyd wants these gloves.
Ortiz will come in 2nd as he is the champ.Comment
