Mayweather wants 8 ounce gloves
“Against De La Hoya, they gave me heavyweight gloves. They have me 10-ounce gloves,” Mayweather said. “We are requesting 8-ounce gloves for this one. Hopefully, we can get them. We want blood, sweat and tears for this one.”
Floyd Mayweather has surprised some people by agreeing to face reigning WBA 154-pound king Miguel Cotto at 154-pounds - not at some catch-weight that so many of today’s fighters insist on boxing at when facing a naturally bigger man. The 35-year-old all-time great has just one request going into May 5th’s huge showdown with the Puerto Rican star: that the fight is fought with 8-ounce gloves, not ten-ounce.
As quoted by Ringtv.com, “Money,” who will be having just his second fight above welterweight, believes his massive win over Oscar De La Hoya could have ended earlier had the “World Awaits” fight been fought with smaller gloves.
