Arum want 8 once Gloves for Cotto vs Margarito fight...!!!!

[the wiz]

If the fight happens anywhere outside of Vegas they're going to use 8 oz gloves. I don't think it's some psychological advantage for Cotto. They're going to use 8 oz no matter what. Arum just wants to have the fight in Vegas instead of Atlantic City or New York.

No point in the 8 oz. gloves really, just follow the rules and then the loser has less excuses (i.e. yeah but it was with 8 oz. gloves)

...someone said something about Cotto not KO-ing Margarito It's GOING to happen, you can either hop on the bandwagon now or be run over when Cotto beats the crap out of Margarito

I don't care if they wear pillows on their hands, I'm watching the fight. It'll be great!

For those who have worn or wear gloves for the experiences I've had with gloves I gotta say I didn't and don't feel the difference in them.

I think it's great if the Nevada Comm. allows this as nothing would please me more then to be able to see 2 of my fav. fighters fight live in Vegas.

Cottos long overdue for a fight in Vegas.

I fond a big difference, the 8 ounce gloves, feel a lot lighter and usually allow you to punch faster.

Hand injuries are more frequent with tye eight ouncers, but thats because the guys can hit full whack.

Should make the fight more interesting in terms of injuries/abbrasions/cuts.

Cotto in an interview commented that theres no diference between both gloves ,
" i make my training with 18 onces gloves , i understand that the boxer that hit hard , will hit hard with any gloves , i dont have preference , i will fight with any gloves ".........
" In the begining of my career i made like 9 fights in Las Vegas and now im fighting in the East Area of U.S , but i dont have problem with them , Thanks of God that i have fans everywhere that i go and im very Happy of how had goes my career ".......
The last Cotto fight in Las vegas was in November 11 2004 , when defended his World Title of JWW with Randall Bailey..........

Great quotes Macho.

The only thing is I have to correct Cotto.

It's not that his fans follow him wherever he goes, it's just he has fans everywhere!
