update August 16, 2017 – …The NAC, today, authorized 8 oz gloves. They relied on no scientific evidence speaking to the security of this decision contrary to advice from the ARP.
____________________________________
As very first reported by MMAFighting’s Marc Raimondi, the association of Ringside Physicians have stern words for the Nevada athletic compensation telling them not to authorize 8 oz gloves for the McGregor vs. Mayweather boxing bout absent “scientific evidence” that such a move would be a security improvement.
As previously discussed, Nevada’s combative sports regulations were overhauled efficient September 2016. Among the modifications were demands for glove sizes mandating 10 oz gloves for all fights over 135 pounds. The regulation enables fighters over 135 pounds however under 147 pounds to agree to 8 oz gloves in instead of 10 oz gloves. Fighters over 147 pounds do not enjoy this choice.
McGregor as well as Mayweather are fighting at 154 pounds. They must utilize 10 oz gloves. The compensation only enjoys the power to depart from this for “a championship contest“. There is no belt on the line for this bout.
The present regulation reads as follows:
The only possibility of having the NAC authorize 8 oz gloves is if the NAC is prepared to ignore the above section as well as depend on their general powers contained in NAC 467.008 to depart from their rules.
The Nevada compensation is on record stating that they would Camiseta LOSC Lille only depart from this rule with “health as Camiseta Feyenoord well as security of the fighters being the number-one priority“.
If the ARP has any type of influence this request should be dead in the water with the organization noting “Unless there is scientific evidence to support the view that such a modification may enhance the security of the bout, we should strongly caution against enabling present regulations to be over-ruled”.
Below is the ARP’s full letter –
