That's what heavyweights used at that time; California was an exception-10 ounce gloves for all boxers over 147 pounds went into effect in 1967.

What year did they switch form six ounce gloves to eight ounce gloves?

California was an N.B.A. state-I believe they switched in 1948 but I can't recall for certain.
