白大拿向Sky Sports解释道；“八盎司的手套对康纳来说肯定有好处，首先，弗洛伊德并不是一个重炮手，他几乎没有淘汰赛，他的整场比赛都是在防守，用手套来保卫自己，而较小的手套意味着康纳将有更多的地方打。
我们一直想要戴较小的手套，他们不想要，现在突然之间，弗洛伊德决定要更小的手套，所以在本周体委要进行听证，希望会同意。 康纳并不关心弗洛伊德的重拳力量。
如果康纳告诉我他四回合KO梅威瑟，我绝不怀疑他能做到，只要说了，他就能够做到。我不认为康纳低估了梅威瑟，康纳28岁，梅威瑟已经41岁了。康纳是一个更大更强的拳击手，但竟然没有人认为他有机会获胜，这简直太疯狂了。这是一场战斗，任何事情都可能发生在一场战斗中”。
White: Smaller Gloves Definitely Benefit McGregor, Not Floyd
UFC President Dana White is hoping the Nevada State Athletic Commission approves an application to use 8-ounce gloves in the upcoming showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
The contest is contracted for the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds, and under the NSAC rules - any boxing match above the welterweight limit of 147-pounds must require the use of 10-ounce gloves.
They are set to collide on August 26th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor, who has zero experience in pro boxing, is accustomed to fighting in 4-ounce gloves in the UFC.
Both fighters are on board with changing the glove size to 8-ounce. The NSAC is going to make a ruling on their request on Wednesday.
White believes the smaller gloves will give his fighter a big boost.
"It definitely benefits Conor," White explained to Sky Sports. "First of all, Floyd isn't a big puncher, he's not a knockout puncher. His whole game is defence, using the gloves to defend himself and smaller gloves means Conor will have more places to hit.
"We've always wanted to have smaller gloves, they didn't want it and now all of a sudden Floyd has decided that he wants smaller gloves. So now we have a hearing with the state commission this week and hopefully that will happen. Conor isn't concerned about Floyd's punching power at all."
Smaller gloves or not, McGregor is a massive underdog in the fight. Most experts are predicting a one-sided domination by Mayweather.
White is shocked that McGregor is being wideley written off by the majority of most observers in boxing and mixed martial arts.
"I stopped doubting Conor McGregor a long time ago," White said. "Everything he's told me he's going to do, he's done, so if he says he'll beat Floyd Mayweather inside four rounds, he will.
"I don't think Conor underestimates him, he obviously respects him but you've got to remember - Floyd is 41 years old and Conor McGregor is 28 years old. He's the bigger, stronger fighter. People aren't giving him a chance and that's just crazy. This is going to be a fight, and anything can happen in a fight." |
