Guess they'll be fighting in 8 Oz. gloves.

Gatti performance.

Of course, despite giving a blatant and clear advantage to McGregor with Floyd specifically lobbying for a glove size that is to his disadvantage given his hands, people still won't give Floyd credit.

Because he is fighting a fawking MMA fighter with a 0-0 record you twat! **** Floyd fawk Conor fawk this bs fight. This is a fawking embarrassment

[Larry the boss]

That's the reason gloves were used in the first place, because fighters kept breaking their hands.

Obviously before that it was barw knuckle.

exactly..that is literally the only reason for boxing gloves

[CatchAndShoot]

Right now its still 10 oz



They have to wait till the 16th

True, I bet it will end up being 8 though, because he wants that KO for real.

It may increase ppv sales too because people think mcgregor has power

[CatchAndShoot]

Who the hell cares this fight sucks either way

Yeah, but there's a good story line to this, and I can't wait to see the comments from Conor fans after he gets TOSSED UP in the ring.

True. And let's be real. His brain won't allow him to extend his punches with maximum power, because he's gonna second guess everything, because of the upper body and head movement of Floyd, and the laser beams coming back at every mistake he makes.

You can hit 10x harder with boxing gloves, thus rattling your brain even more, and causing way more damage than with bare knuckles

10x harder huh lol???? That is not close to being true.

I believe the brain damage from getting hit in the head would be similar all things being equal, but the boxing gloves allow for more punishment to the brain due to the protection of the hands those gloves give making boxing gloves more dangerous.

The less glove there is the more superficial damage one will have as there is more force hitting a smaller area thus more skin & orbital bones get broken + the ability to hit that sweet spot & turn off the lights is greatly enhanced.

People who say 10oz or even 16oz glove is a pillow has clearly never actually been in a boxing gym, sparred or fought.

Calling them pillows is just a figure of speech and people who have no experience take it literally. Get cracked in the face by someone wearing 16oz gloves and it'll still do some damage.

Keyword, superficial damage. And I was exaggerating.

16 oz gloves hurt, so do 14,12,10, and 8. It's all about more stability to your wrists and hands. I don't think it'll make much difference if it's 10 or 8 oz. somebody's a$$ is getting taxed. Period
