floyds agreed to 8 oz gloves...

[stevieb_8006]

that suprised me, fair play to him. makes it a more interesting fight.

[CheckHook]

Surprised by that one to be honest. I said before contracts were even into negotiations that the gloves could make for a big stumbling block if either fighter didn't fancy the fight. Makes me think Floyd is itching to get this fight signed. Manny better be in the form of his life for this one otherwise he's in for a nasty beating.

[digzee]

Floyd seems very confident about this fight, signing early an agreeing to this, just get the feeling he really thinks he's gona get the win an prove the doubters wrong an good luck to him.

[Chambers2]

Yeah that's excellent news for the fight if true, any official sources?

i think roach is gonna pull manny out after 8 or 9 one sided rounds

[DG.]

Manny is getting crushed.

No wild swinging cavemen is going to beat PBF.

This is boxing and PBF is miles ahead of Manny, Manny can not compete with the skills.

Remember that heis not that much better than when JMM 'beat him' twice in my book.

He will be schooled like a child.

Watch!!

Manny is too predictable!

[whiskey]

Floyd's reach will win this.

He's got pretty long arms in relation to his height and that's what Hatton discovered when pressuring him.

He's not a KO artist, but he is certainly not feather fisted himself either.

[danieljenkins]

the straight right hand of floyd will win this fight

[Gazmac81]

cant see Floyd stopping Manny to be honest
hes far too Cagey and if he lands a good Shot he may well hurt Manny but he very rarely jumps on fighters these days.
He could have cranked it up a bit more against Marquez but didnt really do that.

This one is going to points for me and i hope Manny wins ,

Got to fancy Floyd though to do the usuall

Cheers, what a fight this is gonna be. Come on Manny!!!

[dbf]

i'm not surprised that he's going with 8 oz's. I remember he claiming that he had to wear 10oz gloves when he fought Hatton and that took the the zing out his punches when comparing his KO victory over to Hitman to Manny's (manny wore 8's when he fought Ricky).

This is good news, another potential stumbling block out of the way. Is it actually confirmed that the fight is signed?

I agree. I hate saying Floyd will win because he's bigger, but that reach helps him an awful lot. I hope Pacquaio at least makes it interesting. He'll do a better job than Marquez, that's for sure.

[alexpaterson]

Glad they are sorting out every little detail so nothing goes wrong

[Asterix]

I wonder how big the ring is going to be...
