Rumor or truth: boxing gloves to be 10 oz, not 8 oz from 135lbs up?

Did Floyd say that fighter's have to wear 10 oz gloves instead of the 8 oz gloves for now on?

truth or dare?

Actually this year they made it Welterweight and up use 10oz. Gloves.

Actually this year they made it Welterweight and up use 10oz. Gloves.

that kind of sucks. that means that most fighters hand speed will be a little slower.

Is this just in Nevada or does Nevada have the "Power" (which is bull****) to have it everywhere?



I think it should be up to the fighters if they want to use the 8 oz or the 10 oz, they are the ones taking the risk.

I can't wait till they up the gloves to the sparring gloves...maybe they can make it safer and make sure that fighter's can't hit to the head or body.

I'm telling you, this is the "Pussification" of sports...soon the NFL will be two hand touch and the MLB will be a wiffle-ball league
