8 or 10 Ounce gloves for Mayweather vs Cotto

Well obviously the lighter glove.

 

I thought the rule was above 147 lbs it's 10 ounce gloves. 147 is also 10 ounce gloves but can wear 8 once glove if both fighters agree.

 

it will be 10oz floyd is not dumb

 

10oz benefits Cotto more than Floyd. Cotto's the one who's going to be taking precision blows to the head.

I think it will be 10oz gloves, but I hope for 8.

 

Are they going to fight @ 154 limit or 150 ?

And how much is Cotto's purse ?

 

8 oz will make a more interesting fight...IMHO it benefits both. cotto has the power at 154, but i think pbf lands the more shots.

 

Floyd has made a request to NSAC for 8 and it will ultimately be up to Cotto.

 

Regulations say 10oz. Would be ridiculous and scandalous if he could get 8oz.
Only in boxingpatsch

 

Cotto has already agreed. They are just waiting on the NSAC to confirm approval.

 

Floyd wanna KO Cotto, make a statement.

 

The fight is sign Cotto will not do nothing. This is just a case of mayweather making some PR.

 

Source?

 

8oz favors cotto imo. floyd has fragile hands. 8 oz only increases his chance of injuring them. there's also the mindset that floyd chops cottos face up with 8oz gloves. that's also a possibility. i think cotto has more pop in his shots and more ko's at welter and jr middle. it'll make it more interesting but i get the feeling the request will be denied.

 

Floyd requested 8 oz.. Cotto will hopefully accept and we get a good scrap.
