    What the **** Grant? why in the last two major fights has there been issues with your gloves?
    and what is NSAC not making sure they are the correct weight? Roach said on 24/7 over time, Martinez had gloves weighed which his were 9.5, Chavez had a pair that was 9.7, the commission got a pair of Gloves for Chavez that are the same weight as Martinez's gloves.. both using 9.7 whats that say about the company making these gloves?
    and whats that say about our commissions?

    Grant gloves suck. Especially with that gay plastic, hardened thumb. Wouldn't be surprised if most of their gloves are of all different weights based on the different materials used to piece it together.

    Honestly I do not know if both fighters are using grant, we know Chavez does so I assumed they would both be grants, but Martinez usually uses Everlast either way both gloves were not 10 ounces

    If CHAVIT ain't using CLITORIS-REYES, CHAVIT ain't Messican.

    They should just make the fighters chose from a range of gloves that actually weigh 10 ounces, it isn't rocket science

    It's a rather negligible difference I think, but it's an interesting point about the lack of oversight. This is boxing, though.

    Khan's reebok gloves were to big for the Maidana fight and he had to switch gloves to everlast. Before the fight.

    Too many damned types these days. Used to be just Reyes, the odd times everlast or winning. Now we have rbk, nike, everlast, grant, reyes, winning, etc.

    .3/5 ounces wont really matter in a one shot KO.
