    It used to be that the two combatant's teams had to come to an agreement about glove size, brand etc.
    I don't think that has changed but with so many "governing bodies" who knows?

        Usually 10 oz. gloves are used, every once in a while you will see 8 oz. used. All weight classes. 8 oz. Reyes are the punchers choice. But ya dont see em too often.

          actually 8 ozers at lower weights are common occurance.
