    did anyone notice the disparity of the size of the gloves? Plants gloves seem much smaller compared to Jose’s large pillow looking gloves! Am I tripping?

    I have a pair of gloves that look tiny as hell, yet are 10oz. I don't use them anymore because there is very little padding on the knuckles(I doubt anyone would let me use those in competition).
    I know little about gloves, but from experience I can say that the weight in gloves can be distributed differently. And then there is the material being used.
    Looks can be deceiving. There is no way a commission would let guys compete with different size gloves.

    I know but it’s so blatant that I could not help but imagine if Caleb’s were a couple ounces lighter and thus made him quicker and possibly have more pop in his punch.

    Plant is just surprisingly elite @ least in this era. Plant giving me Peter manfredo Jr vibes

    Grant gloves are much more compact than Hyabusa gloves.

    I don’t see why Uzcategui would use pillows.

    Plant was using Grant. They run small.
