CC back brother.

It's hard for me to believe that Baldo can get PBF corner adn make him go toe to toe, PBF is too start to let that happen to a slower man.

I could be wrong but that's how I see it

I would love to see them go toe to toe but I highly doubt it,PBF is just trying to promote the fight I'm guessing.

I don't doubt that Floyd will stand in the pocket a fair amount of the time. When was the last time he really used his legs a lot? Castillo 2? He's become a relatively stationary fighter, maybe Baldomir will make him move, I don't know. He is the first real pressure fighter floyd's fought since Castillo so maybe he will move around more. Floyd saying he's gonna go toe to toe with him doesn't mean he's not going to box, his defense inside and at medium range is tremendous.

Baldo's just so predictable, he doesn't really have the greatest punch variety, he mainly comes in, jabs some, throws the right hand, works the body a bit. It shouldn't be hard for Floyd to figure out, should be pretty much a 12 round clinic.

I think Floyd will look a million dollars in this 1 . Im sure there will be times when he does stand toe to toe and get the better of the trade offs but for the most part he'l be making Baldy miss and making him pay . His counters will be sharp and crisp andf he'l use the ring to leave Carlos stuck in the mud . The Argie has already been K.o'd early and out of 58 fights has only 13kos to his name .

I cant see PBF losing here . It will be an impressive dominating display which will add justification to him being a top 3 p4p fighter

hahaha i doubt PBF would go toe to toe thats the only chance baldo would have is if PBF is not himself and does some ish like this. my advice would be to go to baldo's body and take it to the body all night and i see this ending in a body shot much like mitchells fight.

pbf will go toe to toe in the later rounds after 8-9 rounds of breaking baldomir down into a puddle

In theory Floyd should put on a clinic and for the sake of boxing I hope he does.. but I don't see it going that way

Oscar and Shane are going to salivate when they see Floyd's punches slow down and bounce of Baldo like confetti

Why would his punches slow down? This is his third fight at this weight (all with the same size gloves). . . .

I read an interview with Oscar a little while ago and he touched on the advantage he will have if Floyd moves up to 154 and changes to 10 ounce gloves, thats where my info originally came from.. so I guess Oscar and I are both oblivious to the fact that Floyd has been fighting in 10 ounce gloves??

are you 100% certain Floyd has been fighting with 10 ounce gloves?

Not trying to pull knowledge out of my ass...but to my knowledge (& I could be wrong) Floyd has been using tens since his fight with Corrales due to his brittle hands.

Again...I could be wrong...but I don't believe that I am.

[Wacko3205]

It could have been again Chavez or Hernandez also...I can't remember...but I do remember that he or Roger said something about getting used to the bump up in gloves due to Floyd's hands around that time.

Fwock...maybe they were 8's...but it was around 2001 that the issue came up.

I could go through the discs & hunt it...but they were talking about it after the fight with Merchant.

If your right then you just flushed my arguement!! and I'll have to totally rethink my position on lil'Floyd

can somebody give us some info on Floyd's gloves?

[Wacko3205]

I think he was wearing 8's against Chavez.

Maybe he moved to tens later than I thought...but it was during the end speech that they were talking about the gloves & his hands being a factor...I'm almost sure of it.

[baller]

I don't know about Mayweather's gloves but I know that 10oz gloves are for 154lbs+. I read here on saddo that some commissions moved the limit down to 135 lbs just recently.

Looking through my discs...it's 8's.

He wore Winning 8's against Gatti & Judah.

Ah. You are correct, and my apologies, Hairdoo. Although the Nevada Athletic Commission page states at one place that the previous rule required fighters from 147 and up to wear 10 oz. gloves, it explicitly states elsewhere that the 10 oz. requirement actually only applied to fighters of above 147 lbs. So this will indeed be Floyd's (and Baldo's) first fight with the 10 oz. gloves.
