    Khan's punching power will be more effective in 8 oz than on that reebok 9.5 oz, right???

    What time will the fight start BTW??

    hmm I expect khan to use his legs and mind anyway in this fight, he will make it to the win.

    8 to 9.5 oz is more of a difference in padding than area/size of glove. but its everlasts and reeboks so there will be some size diff. Khan said he was elated after hearing he could use 8oz and was only wearing reebok for thos £m's he gets.

    makes this fight even more exciting.

    Hopefully having lighter gloves wont entice him to slug it out with Maidana because he will get KTFO.

    I'd wear whatever boxing gloves felt most comfortable, forget the money.

    If reebok wanted to sponsor me they could wack a reebok badge on a pair of reyes...it wouldn't make any difference for them

    Well if you were khan and the whole world has been calling you a china chin joke for a few years that has boxing skill, I think he is evry much aware of his chin and i doubt he will be stupid enough to even go near maidana, just dominate him from the outside until the later rounds then start unleashing or cruise to a easy ud. thats the best thing for him and im very sure he will do that.
    If not maidana will knock him out hard.

    whoops I forgot that. I bet Rico Spadz might endorse 30oz gloves to glass-chinned boxers in his list..:lol:

    he didn't say it out loud but its well known he has been wanting to change gloves and 'insiders' said he was surprised but content when Maidana's camp asked him to wear 8oz everlasts.

    FFS, there should be one type of glove in boxing, Reye's, and all fighters should use 8 oz gloves no matter what the weight class.

    Hate all these different styles and weights.

    haha do you think reebok made gloves especially for khan that would be a disadvage to him? Clearly these gloves where larger to protect him from getting hit. Something like this happened last week when canelo alvarez fought ndou. Ndou was wearing some white gloves that where very very big looking and i think that is what prevented him to go down. This will definely affect khan

    Don't see any harm in wearing gloves heavier than they're meant to be. Hope the mind games don't affect Amir
