Cotto won't do it

10oz gloves that = weaksauce. Its the dumbest rule that they could have done and there is no logic to it. They can easily have a meeting and talk about allowing their fight to use 8oz gloves, but there is a big difference between 8oz and 10oz.

 

Is this seriously an issue ?

 

I was thinking when he fight Mayweather will he be effected by the size of the gloves in vegas? That will be an excuse when Floyd beats him.

 

Then it sounds like they are actually negotiaing to get the fight made.

Good news to me:good

 

It doesn't have to be 10oz gloves in vegas. These rules can easily be over turned. 8oz gloves is fine, 10oz are pillows as far as pro boxing is concerned

 

Who cares? They can fight with 18 oz gloves and it will still be a good fight.
It would be bull**** if Cotto said no unless they used 8 oz gloves. I love Cotto and i hope he doesnt start using excuses like alot of fighters tend to do.

 

Cotto has fought in Vegas before, so it shouldnt be an issue. If it becomes an issue then we may have to start pulling Cotto's b*tch card:smoke

 

Source? According to this article a few months back on ESPN, they both refused to fight in Vegas...

Two ounces, a world of difference



Coach Cotto won't be rolling onto the Las Vegas Strip any time soon.
Every now and then, promoter Bob Arum embarks on a crusade.

His current campaign is an effort to have the Nevada State Athletic Commission rescind its 2006 edict requiring fighters in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions to wear 10-ounce gloves instead of the traditional eight.

"The intransigence of this commission drives me crazy," Arum says. "They made the change arbitrarily with no serious study and there's no valid reason for it. It runs contrary to what virtually every other commission in the world does. And the problem is, they're Republicans; so like most Republicans, they're stubborn and refuse to admit that they've made a mistake."

"It's horrible," Arum continues. "Nevada is losing fights because guys like Cotto and Antonio Margarito refuse to come here and wear 10-ounce gloves. And I don't blame them. If I was a puncher in the welterweight division, I wouldn't want to wear 10-ounce gloves either."

And what does the commission say in response?

"It's on our agenda for re-evaluation," notes executive director Keith Kizer. "So we'll see what we see."


----------------------------------------------

 

The last time he fought in Vegas was in 2004. Long before the rule went into effect.

 

Mayweather fights with them on and Cotto and Margo should not have a problem either though I think the 10oz gloves should not be mandatory. It is what it is as no fighter will really be at an disadvantage.

 

It's only fair!

 

cotto is a ***** like arum :deal :admin

you ever hear floyd complain about glove size:deal :hey

 

Calling a world champion a '*****' immediately DISQUALIFIES you.
