"MAYWEATHER is going to play around for six or seven rounds, give the vast audience their money's worth, then take McGregor out"
ADD TO BETSLIP:
The lighter gloves have less padding over the knuckles and are believed to favour the heavier puncher.
McGregor believes that he is just that - and says he will benefit from this controversial change.
But Money doesn't seem fazed and has taken the change in his stride, pointing out he's worn the 80z's most of his career.
The unbeaten American has worn them in 45 out of 49 fights, and has made his disdain for 10oz versions very clear.
In 2007 he called the heavier mitts 'pillows' - after going up the weights to fight Oscar De La Hoya.
