    Is that Mosley was wearing He Grant gloves. That pissed me off that Floyd actually made him wear those gloves. As if he didn't have enough on Mosley. I think they used 8 oz gloves, though. I don't know how much of a difference it makes, and I guess the 8 oz gloves helps. But not that it would have mattered. Shane was still able to stun Floyd but Floyd controlled him.

    If you want to criticize one thing about last night it was that Floyd had Shane wear He Grant gloves. Clearly an unneccessary requirement... that really made me upset and wanting Mosley to KO Floyd. The 2nd round was exciting. Then I was just getting dazzled by Floyd's skills.

    the grants gloves were the difference between ko and not ko in that 2nd round.

    I agree, let the man wear whatever gloves he wants.

    I believe Mosley agreed to wear Grant, he wasn't forced to.

    Mosley chose to wear grant. ESPN had already cleared this up the other day.

    Sorry to derail your thread.

    Can anyone confirm whether the glove sizes were 8oz or 10oz?

    In that case, there is nothing to complain about. I was upset over it because I thought they chose his brand for him. If he chose to wear Grant, then there is no issue.

    It was in the contract. Why else does he wear them? Mosley gives up everything cause he so bad wants to fight these guys. Doesn't surprise me... he only get a 25% split. That's not fair either.

    Mayweather was great, Mosley was super old though. He did what he had to do, and looked damn good doing it.

    That's that then.

    I guess there's nothing to criticize. Mosley's never worn Grant gloves before though? Right? I guess he was really in the mindset of having a boxing fight with Floyd. I thought he would come out boxing and he did.
