Smaller Gloves Approved For Mayweather-McGregor Fight

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor will fight with smaller gloves, though they still won't be as tiny as the ones McGregor is used to wearing.  Nevada boxing regulators have given the 2 fighters an exemption to a rule requiring 10 ounce gloves, approving 8 ounce gloves for the Aug. 26th  bout. Under Nevada regulations, 10 ounce gloves are required in fights above 147 pounds and the bout is set for 154 pounds.

Mayweather has worn 8 ounce gloves most of his career, and McGregor has worn 4 ounce gloves in his UFC fights.
