NSAC Approves 8oz Gloves Request

[Fighting Gaming]

The stars are aligning for Conor.

Obviously smaller gloves is good for Conor, but it also can go the other way, if Floyd is hitting Conor easily, and Conor is not defending as good as Floyd?

Against fast accurate skilled men. Conor is going to look like he's moving in a 4ft swimming pool in there.

Conor is not stuck in the mud. He has elite movement.

HAHA Floyd by head clean off round 5th

Floyd needed this excuse so when he loses it can be considered an exhibition match and not a normal boxing match

Yes they will all align around his head on 26th

Here's Conor displaying his cat like reflexes and impregnable defense. Against a Stuck-in-da-mud skinny fat cholo.

 

[MiroHa]

Doesn't Conor cut up and swell easy?

I remember one cut against Mendes from a slicing elbow on the ground. Don't remember any swelling.

Will it matter?

Between this and Mayweather's referee not being allowed to participate. NSAC seem to be doing their jobs so far.

This isn't a technical boxing match. The referee benefits Conor, as do the gloves.

Vegas is fully behind their new young King.

How can it favor the guy thats most likely NOT going to land a clean punch? And not favor the guy that is going be landing clean shots over and over again?

That's my take. Im sure Floyd's camp thinks the same thing, If he's not landing a clean shot anyway it really doesn't matter. The 8oz glove favors a TKO for Floyd.
I have seen too much footage over the years of Floyd sparring with Light Heavies (168-175lb) in boxing to by into the Conor has more power than he has ever faced BS.

When has Conor ever fought in a brawling type style? I understand that you have to create something to believe in, but don't try to sell me that shit sandwhich. He's counter puncher. He doesn't have the stamina, skill or experience to fight in a brawling type style.

it increases a chance for floyd break a hand thats about it

 

[Shinobi]

There isn't any significant difference in how much power you can generate with 8oz vs 10oz. It's a myth. What this will favor is Floyd's hand speed, because the gloves are lighter.

If anybody thinks Conor hits harder than Canelo Alvarez, they are delusional.

Oh God, Conor is really gonna dribble this boy's head like a basketball, isn't he

He's certainly not a brawler but he's not a pure counter puncher either. Sometimes he puts it on guys sometimes he sits back. He mixes it up nicely.

False. Conor always pushes the pace, he is the aggressor. Every fight he pushes forward. Even Nate backtracked in the first few rounds.

Oh really? wtf are you talking about, He's never even boxed before. You've seen him knockout MMA fighters. Aldo is the only guy he knocked out with any type of boxing skill, and he is still far far behind anyone Floyd has faced in the past 10 years.

Are you basing this on him walking down Chad Mendes and Dustin Porier? Please.
