Comments Thread For: Mayweather Agrees To Let McGregor Use 8-Ounce Gloves

[Kcvtr81]

All well an good Floyd putting on small gloves but his hands are ****ed may be Conor can't hit him but he can defend himself with his elbows, not good if you have small gloves on with glass hands

Is it over yet!

Not happening.. Rules are clearly stated that they cannot wear 8oz Gloves in Nevada if you are 154 and above. Either way this is just hype to keep people talking about the fight. Honestly, 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, any ounce isn't really going to matter. Floyd is going to take this guy to school!

glove size won't matter

Mcgregor could fight Floyd with 2 oz gloves and it wouldn't make a difference....an assured ass-whopping awaits either way.

Floyd knew that. That's why he said it. He's protected by that rule.

No it isn't moron. Over 135 is 10oz. If the fighters agree they can wear 8oz for 140 and 147 fights. I posted the rules ffs.

Are you the Nevada Commission executive director?
Robbie Barrett
Rob Bannett?

Conspiracy?

Those are the WBC/WBA rules. The commissions rules supersede them.

Athletes (boxers/kick boxers) weighing-in up to and including 135 pounds must wear 8 oz gloves in competition, while athletes weighing-in over 135 pounds (junior welterweight class and above) must wear 10 oz gloves in competition.* However, athletes weighing-in over 135 but no more than 147 may wear 8 oz gloves in competition if both athletes agree to do so in writing on their bout agreement(contract).

That's just short answer to question, not full list of rules.If 154 made a request to use 8oz they can get permision to do that also
Just read a damn post However, smaller gloves can be used if both fighters sign off on that stipulation.

Someone got put to sleep with his continued instance

8ozers can be worn at 154 if you get a special exemption. I recall Mayweather tried fighting Cotto in them at 154, but Cotto didn't agree.

The NSAC is the reason why the fights at 154 are fought in 10 oz. gloves.

Neither Cotto or McGregor have anything to do with the fights at 154 occuring with 8 oz. or 10 oz. gloves. The NSAC is what decides that.
