What size gloves did Max Baer vs. Primo Carnera have in the fight?

6 ounces.

 

I read that during Jack Dempseys time gloves for title fights were were 6oz in total, but in effect they were 4oz or less since the padding in the cuff had to be a minimum of 2oz for some reason.

I guess when there was a call for more cushioning in the gloves they just made the cuff bigger.

 

8oz?

 

This is highly unusual. I never heard of any boxing match where the combatants had different equipment, let alone such a huge disparity.
If they did, it does not show me that Primo would win, but it would help him.
We cannot go from appearances, since he had such massive fists & bones from a form of giganticism.

Where is the evidence, that they had different glove sizes? Can you please provide some hyperlinks? Thank you.

Do you not all see?
Is it still not clear?

 

I always found it odd how big his gloves looked in the Gains fight. How did none of us bring this up before?
