How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
I just wondered. Of course you have the power difference but what about speed? Dont think ive worn anything less than 12 oz for years and even then im no pro.
Anyone have an idea of the kind of speed advantage? Or is it a straight 20 percent lighter so 20 percent faster.
Could be why he agreed to the 8oz tbf

Floyd knows he has all the advantages so this is one he can turn in his favour. Floyd wants to stop Conor and this will help him do that, he tried to be aggressive with Cotto and it did not work with the pillows he was wearing but I think he will stop Conor in the fight.

I do too, but after he lets it go several rounds to make it a show. Still 50/50 he might let it go the distance, but shame on him if he does.

It would be embarrassing for Floyd if it went the distance.
Floyd will wait and tire Conor out.
If I was Conor I would not engage and let Floyd walk into my big left hand.

Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
Floyd is an underrated puncher in my opinion
He's a crap finisher but he's a decent puncher
And I think he'll suprise Conor with his power
He hits a hell of a lot harder than Paulie that's for sure.
Conor is used to sparring with 12oz gloves and headgear
Now he's fighting the most accurate puncher in Boxing
Who's wearing 8oz gloves so I think he'll be in serious trouble.
I wouldn't be suprised if we saw Conor on the canvas in the first
He looks so open and I think Mayweather is just going to hit him at will.

Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
They could be using 8 or 10 oz gloves and don't think it will make a lick of difference. If Coners camp could only get a rule change where no 2,3,4 punch combos can be thrown? That's what he needs to worry about.
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
Oh but he looked soooooo good hitting that heavy bag.
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
He won't really go after him, he doesn't care about the stoppage; he cares about dollazzz and to keep his record without defeats. He says that to play in Connor's head. The glove difference MIGHT help Connor a bit, giving him a slight advantage somewhere, but there is so much stacked against him that I doubt it'll really play a role. It's all to make sure that Connor has no excuses and that his fans neither.

Floyd can not punch since he moved to welterweight and he has brittle hands which is why he also wears pillows for gloves. Floyd got his stoppage victories at the weight by Hatton being exhausted fighting him and the ref and Ortiz was sucker punched and even then Ortiz faked the fall to get Floyd disqualified.

I'm not commenting on this circus act of a fight, but You have to read the first and third lines of @GaMo's post .
Floyd has enough power to stop you in your tracks and make you think twice about committing. it's not KO power, or concussive, he doesn't commit enough for that. It's been proved time and again.
for example , in the first couple or so rounds against Manny, you could see that when Floyd countered him, he thought twice about coming forward. You could almost hear him thinking "fuck! I didn't expect that!" and this is what guys don't realize until they get in the ring with Floyd.

And so by Primo commenting that he wasn't commenting, you said that you wasn't going to comment on Primo not commenting but by doing so you have commented which means that when you said you wasn't commenting you really were commenting.

ive heard people say the smaller gloves will benefit connor, will it fuck, hell get hit harder and more often
do you think CM would be good enough to win a british title in his first fight? commonwealth? area title?

Conor would get battered and beat by Bradley Skeete.

Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
sometimes you get these fights that are seemingly one sided but the closer it gets to fight night the more you start thinking just maybe he has a chance
with this fight tho the closer its getting the more im thinking hes got absolutely no chance what so ever, I cant even see it being a fight, he might as well get in the ring with my pet rabbit

Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
if there is a weight fine who gets the money?
should go to charity or something don't you think

These fighters do not do charity they will keep it for themselves. Greed is what made this event.

Let's see in Conor makes the weight.
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
Conor will get hit more often than he's used to
And work around is that he doesn't like getting hit
When Diaz touched him with a few shots he went for a takedown
That was his way of quitting in my opinion. He'll quit again here
Probably between the 5th and 6th round. I won't miss his fans.

What hasn't he said that isn't crazy :biglaugh:
How about, "I'll knock him out in two rounds"
Or "I'll be the god of Boxing" there's more but I try to forget
Everytime he opens his mouth you know there's a whole lot of bull shit on its way.

He has said worse than that, I think he said he would knockout Floyd in 1 round but may carry him.

Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
funny really coz how many sports are already establish that are somewhere between Boxing and MMA?
wonder what he has in mind
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
you could alternate
1st round is 3 minutes boxing rules
2nd round 5 minutes MMA
3rd round kick boxing
4th round back to boxing
etc etc
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
I'm convinced Conor is going to get stopped
When this fight was first made I thought he'd last
Being naturally larger and in his prime
But he's going to get hit way too much.
He's been sparring with 16oz gloves and headgear
And apart from Paulie (who's shit) I ain't got a clue who he's fought.
Now he's fighting the most accurate puncher in Boxing
Wearing 8oz gloves and no headgear!
Can't wait for Floyd to land his first clean punch
You're going to see a look of shock on Conor's face
He's not a fighter who's used to taking shots
And the word around is that he hates getting hit.
Floyd will dominate this fight and stop Conor around the 5th.
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
General consensus is that smaller gloves helps Connor because it increases his chances of a one-punch-KO.
However, I personally believe the smaller gloves benefit the person who lands more often. That's Mayweather.

the only reason anyone has any doubt is because of Connors mouth
Floyd mayweather is fighting a complete novice
its not just gonna be a KO, mcgreggor will probably look very daft
I saw those sparring vids from a few months ago and he looked like a novice, and you can improve that much in 3 or 4 months
-
Re: How much faster will mayweather be in 8 oz gloves now its been approved?
After Conor gets completely outclassed watch him say he wants a rematch under MMA rules.Hopefully Floyd gambles his money away in a few years time and wants another return.
Also watch Paulie (the whore) want a fight with Conor on St Patricks day next year.

You really hate the thought of Mayweather not fighting any more don't you.
Also Paulie has already called him out for a fight on St Patricks day next year

Would love nothing more than seeing Floyd having to come back and lose to a younger more talented fighter.
I know Paulie has called Conor out already, but he will do it even more after the fight. He has already sent a tweet of a photo of him talking to Floyd and saying "ironic isn't it".
