If they go to 8 oz gloves I think it legitimately changes the entire fight and I think Conor might actually win. I'm not saying I think he will win if they go at it with 8 oz gloves but I am saying I think it plays more to his advantage early in the fight. Later, if Floyd doesn't take a barrage, it may help Floyd. One can only guess Floyd will have the cardio advantage.
Based on the footage I've seen of Conor, he is doing things right. I was worried that he might try to come in too heavy but by appearances, it looks like he will come in under 170, probably well under 165. I don't know if they agreed on a max weight but I really hope Conor won't try to gain weight at the last minute. Fluid, sure. He's already the bigger guy and his cardio was questionable going into the fight.
e: plus the news that he destroyed Paulie is news I'm willing to believe.
I don't think Floyd got KO'd in sparring though
I mean, come on.
