That's what I heard too. Actually it was McGregor saying Floyd wanted 154 so he could have 10oz. He said Floyd was afraid of him having 8oz.tiny_acres wrote:Nevada state athletic commission specifies 10 oz gloves at 154.

He wanted to but the commission won't let him.p4p1 wrote:I read recently he decided on 8oz grant gloves with McGregor able to wear whatever he wants.

He's landed on smaller guys cleanly with small gloves and still had to beat them into submission rather than being able to knock them out cold. Despite landing almost perfect counters against Alvarez he couldn't knock him out cold.
If you give Pacquiao, Mosely, DLH, Canelo, Corrales probably even Gatti those kind of clean shots on Alverez he goes out. Even if he lands he won't be alike to finish, Mayweather opting for the 8pz gloves means he's confident in knocking out McGregor.
Re: Mcgregors power
NSAC may make an exception, Mayweather is after all their main source of income. If both request 8oz, it could happen.

He did, they told him no.

Larry Holmes said that McGregor can defeat Mayweather.

I wonder how much he's planning on betting on Mayweather.RScarf1 wrote:Larry Holmes said that McGregor can defeat Mayweather.

Did they sent Ellerby's request for 8oz gloves, or is that what you are referring to?SaadOffTheDeck wrote:He did, they told him no.
Re: Mcgregors power
The Nevada commission said no to the 8 ounce gloves. In their rules, if the fight is for boxers to weigh more than 147 pounds, then 10 ounce gloves must be used.

It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. Floyd picks 154, McGregor can say "he wants 10 oz gloves" Floyd picks 147, "he wants to drain me"
Re: Mcgregors power
So 8oz gloves then. Thought so.
Re: Mcgregors power
McGregor is a kick boxer. He has never boxed professionally.
Sam Soliman was a world champion kick boxer. It took him many fights to establish himself as a boxer. McGregor is getting a shot at a world title in his first boxing match. Ridiculous.

Conor has as many kick boxing matches as he has professional boxing matches. You may as well say he's a NASCAR driver.Brute wrote:McGregor is a kick boxer. He has never boxed professionally.

Which title is on the line?
