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

[aceventura]

either they got the nevada boxing commission to agree, or this is mayweather reflecting blame to them, 'sorry, they won't allow it.'

mayweather owns the nevada commission...

[aceventura]

a) this was planned all along to hype the fight. Or b) pauli reported to mayweathers camp that mcgregor can't lay a glove on him, and (correct me if i'm wrong), but i heard ticket sales are slow, and mayweather was asked by showtime to do this to increase interest.

look at this lying bum making up lies from his tiny little mind hahahahahahahahaah!

[aceventura]

hopefully plaster of paris will be allowed also

mexican coward margacheto was the last one to use that.... Not happening

[buge]

is this a WBA world championship bout?

[Robbie Barrett]

The gloves for the fight will be of 8 ounces from strawweight up to the welterweight and of 10 ounces from superwelter to heavyweight.

http://wbcboxing.com/downloads/RULES_FOR_CHAMPIONSHIP_FIGHTS_-_SYNTHESIZED_09.pdf

26. Gloves. The weight of the gloves to be used in world championship bouts shall be
as follows:
a. From Super Welterweight up to and including Heavyweight: ten (10)
ounces.
b. From Minimum up to and including Welterweight: eight (8) ounce gloves.
If the bout contract does not identify the brand of gloves to be used, the brand
shall be determined by the Local Commission

IDIOT

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).

if the commission approves you can have any rule change... How do you think floyd got maidana's gloves banned... :

Dude would suck a black cack literally and brag to his friends that he isn't racist.

thats because oscar taught floyd the game!!! He taught floyd all these a side diva antics..... Same thing

[Boxing Logic]

This should have been the situation from the start. That's how it's supposed to work, each boxer gets to pick their own brand of gloves, including horsehair gloves that are approved by the commission.

And 8 ounce gloves can always be used at 154 if the boxers agree. Mike Tyson fights at heavyweight used to be 8 ounce gloves, and a 16 foot ring.

THAT'S THE KEY THING MCGREGOR NEEDS TO DEMAND NEXT. A 16 FOOT RING, NOT 24 FEET. THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE. FLOYD JUST SAID HE WILL ACCOMMODATE ALL DEMANDS, AND STANDARD RINGS CAN BE 16 TO 24 FEET, SO MCGREGROR SHOULD DEMAND THE SMALLEST ONE ALLOWED. VERY KEY.

That comes from the NSAC website you ******.

"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.

look at this lying bum making up lies from his tiny little mind hahahahahahahahaah!

Lol wow, you really do appear to be ****** as FK. Smh.

It's called speculation you ******.

You need to find your mom, and slap her for "raising" an idiot. I'm sure that your dad was a john, so there's no chance of finding him.

Lol

[Sup]

Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) has agreed to a rule change - which allows UFC superstar Conor McGregor to wear 8-ounce gloves.

Show us the portion of the contract that says this directly....
