Ringside doctors ask NAC for ‘caution’ in allowing glove change for MayMac

[Wild]

The Association of Ringside Physicians (ARP) is asking the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) to exercise “caution” in its hearing for the requested change in glove size for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match.

In a letter from the ARP to the NAC sent Tuesday, ARP board chairman Dr. Raymond Monsell writes that Mayweather vs. McGregor “has already been set a specified weight class,” which requires 10-ounce gloves per NAC regulations. Teams for Mayweather and McGregor will be requesting a change to 8-ounce gloves Wednesday at the NAC’s meeting for the Aug. 26 bout in Las Vegas.

“Unless there is scientific evidence to support the view that such a change might improve the safety of the bout, we should strongly caution against allowing current regulations to be over-ruled,” Monsell wrote. “To do so would also set a precedent for future bouts.”

Pussies

They have a point and I have to agree

Yet, they allow them for 4 oz in MMA.
So they'e saying boxers are pussies and can't take a harder punch that's more padded than MMA punches? lol....

Kind of weird to worry about something like this when there now exists a precedent of allowing an 0-0 guy to fight a 49-0 guy.

And seriously imagine you're some no name boxer who gets up in front of the commission and says 'but you let Conor and Floyd do it'

Probably better for all boxers. Smaller gloves would lead to quicker finishes which means less hits to the head... less brain damage

Floyd is going to break his brittle little hands on conors block head. Hopefully conor KOs him and melts the interwebz
