glove size won't matter, Floyd battered Cotto with 10 ounces, the 10 ounce gloves he fought De La Hoya with were heavyweight gloves and he still managed to rock him and those were gloves made for heavyweights
What people don't realize is 8 oz boxing gloves have less padding on the knuckle than mma gloves
look at that shyt, most the boxing weight on the gloves comes from the areas that protect the hands
if you ever put on a 8 oz boxing glove they feel like bricks, mma gloves allow for faster punches because of low weight put the impact area is heavily padded at the knuckles, I don't even think heavyweight gloves have that much padding in boxing
Also small UFC gloves mean less protection for your hand so you can't punch as hard as you can with a boxing glove
Conor and is camp don't understand what they are getting into, and are putting his mma career in jeopardy because he will take immense damage in this fight
