Three reasons why 8oz gloves might not be what you think

Like I said before, 8oz benefiting McGregor is not clear to me. The extra padding on 10oz could help Mayweather from Conor's power, but 8oz makes Mayweather even faster, and this could keep Conor away from going against the ropes and trying to turn the fight into a brawl, so Mayweather could implement his hit and run wizard moves even better with the smaller gloves.

It's only 1 week away, i can't fucking wait for this hypejob to be over. Im not going to miss it im sure of that.

very interesting to see how mayweather will take that advantage using this type of gloves im not sure if its really favored him or it will give Conor a much comfortable game since Conor's is not really familiar with much heavier one so let say both of them can take advantage, its getting nearer and maybe
betting now will be much higher from both fighters.

Very interesting indeed. I think big hitters favors light weight gloves. I know Manny Pacquiao is comfortable using 8 oz. gloves because he is a power hitter. Another interesting thing to mentioned is that that Nevada State Athletic Commission has somewhat bent their rules regarding the used on 8 oz gloves for this fight. They went to have one time exception of using 8 oz gloves. Association of Boxing Commissions rules require boxers to wear 10-ounce gloves in any bout contested above the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.

Anyways, I'm also hype around this fight, can't wait to see who's ass gonna be whoop. Wink

I still believe that Conor Mc Gregor will win this fight even Mayweather has an advantage of the situation of a boxer.

I believe one punch power of McGregor!

I think this will favor more of Floyd that Conor. Conor is accustomed to 4 oz. finger-less gloves. Lighter gloves generally favor heavier punchers, but Floyd will be faster with 8 ounces gloves. But he has less gloves to cover his face when Conor hits him. Smaller gloves favor Conor here, so I think this will affects the fight big-time.

With that said, I think Floyd will not go toe to toe with Conor but will used hit and duck strategy. And when Conor is frustrated, he's defense will open up, and Floyd will go for the kill.

A lot of people are saying that this benefits McGregor because he is the big puncher in this fight. But it's not clear to me. Now Mayweather's hands are even faster, and receiving sharp punches repeatedly can be more painful than a single big shot. I think nothing has changed, Mayweather is still the fighter with the better odds. Floyd has fought most of his fight at 8oz anyway.

If you just want to talk in Gayweather's favour ,please do but don't come up with irrelevant logic to support your opinions.Attack has never been Gayweather's game so regardless of the gloves,he's still going to run around like a rat.On the brighter side,McGregor is known to punch non-stop until the target is down.I can't wait to see him taking this rat down.

Ehh, Mayweather has more wins by KO's than McGregor's total fight amounts.

Only because he hasn't KO'd out anyone for a long time, it doesn't mean he can't KO someone if that someone is an amateur boxer compared to him.

If McGregor's defense isn't on point, repeated hits to the head and body for 8+ rounds can put you into the canvas.

Can McGregor KO Mayweather? Sure, if he's lucky enough, but people saying the opposite is impossible must be boxing casuals.

Have you even boxed anyone skilled in real life?

Its hard to take the little guys in boxing seriously but I hope Mayweather comes to fight and the fight is explosive for 3 rounds. My fear is that he'll just run for 12 rounds boxing his head off. CM will have a go but it'll be unanimous for FM.

Just an entertainment match, not a serious fight
mcgregor not boxing Athlete, so mayweaher is USA idol can easy win

This is what the boxing the greater number of boxing fans are saying. But what if Conor will win the fight by knock out? Will you start taking him seriously now? I speculate that Conor is not fighting Floyd only for the money. There is more in it for him if he wins.

Regardless of the outcome they both make money but it's mayweather who has bigger stake in this game because if he lose he always lose his reputation as a boxer. If Conor lose in the game he can always make an excuse that it was not his game, so in order to prove he can fight mayweather, he will ask for a rematch in a different ring which he is the king.

Nope i don't think there's ever going to be an mma match betweem these two. Floyd's too smart for that and he doesn't even need it. And people are downplaying connor's chances too much. He's been proving people wrong all the time. Let's see how it will play out. He's a champion in his.own rights also so i think it won't be as easy for floyd to beat him

You have to remember that they are fighting in Floyd Mayweather turf not Conor's. How did he proved people wrong? I don't see any fight that he is the underdog and never won. Also Diaz proved the invincibility of Conor but no one has proven how to beat Floyd yet in the ring. I know he is a live dog here but I doubt the can pull the plug out of Mayweather here. Floyd too smart and I guess he will go for the KO.

Every circus needs a clown. We need Bob Sapp as the referee.

By the way, Mayweather odds now @ 1.26, worth a bet in my humble opinion.

The NSAC has assigned veteran referee Robert Byrd to officiate their 12-round, 154-pound boxing match August 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The commission also announced it has chosen Reno, Nevada’s Burt Clements, Las Vegas’ Dave Moretti and Italy’s Guido Cavalleri as the judges for their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event. So we have one non-American judge here which is Italy’s Guido Cavalleri, I think this is part of McGregor's camp to have at least one judge who is not stateside. I also agree that at least they can't call anything 'biased' if all judges scored the bout for Mayweather. LOL

Every fight is fought for entertainment purpose ,even if McGregor is not a professional boxer he is a professional MMA athlete ,so that does not mean that he cannot fight,hope you have heard about his sparring with Pauli and the video of him knocking out,do you think a two time former world champion simply forgot to fight and one another thing is Mayweather is not a fan favorite when it comes to personality. Tongue

He cannot fight more than 5 rounds and I'm sure he will finish if the fight will last for that round, and I think Mcgregor bite this fight due to money since he still earn big eventhough he will be beaten by floyd. But apparently if he's been lucky to knock out floyd's ass he will get instant fame and he's fight value will rise if he really do that.

The buildup to this fight is unbelievable and hilarious. Paulie Malignaggi is still talking and everything he's saying is still entertaining to me. Jeff Mayweather was interviewed and said Conor's boxing looked like trash in his sparring clip with Malignaggi where some said it was a knockdown and others said it was a push down.

I wish we had fights like this more often. It makes everything else in boxing and MMA to an extent look boring.

I think Paulie Malignaggi is going to make more money thanks to this fight where he isn't even fighting at than he did in his entire boxing career. He has got tons of exposure and he has landed a good job in Showtime as a commentator.

Now imagine if Conor McGregor and Paulie Malignaggi did an actual fight. It wouldn't be as huge as Floyd vs Conor but it would easily make more money than anyone he could ever fight at the UFC. And McGregor has his own promotions company now so he could do it.

You think one day we'll see more boxing match from UFC vs IBF/WBO?

I remember he commented about real men fight upright but it would be an interesting to see a rematch going to be on octagon too. FLoyd will train himself with jujitso and ground fights.

There have been crossover fights already where a boxer went into UFC. James Toney vs Randy Couture is the one I remember and James Toney got his ass whooped into submission. But then again as far as I know James Toney didn't train properly, and he looked like he came out straight off McDonalds.

After august 26th I doubt Floyd will bother to fight again. Unless there's a 9 figure payday, then I think he might actually try an Octagon fight. What matters is his boxing record, I think think the would care about an MMA loss.
