Connor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather: Why one-off circus could be one-sided affair

Heavier gloves
In Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), fighters must wear gloves which weigh at least four ounces and can go up to a little over six ounces in the heavier weight categories. Promoter Dana White told ESPN that both McGregor and Mayweather would wear gloves that weigh 10 ounces. The padding in boxing gloves means the impact of the punches is bound to be less than in MMA. The additional padding and bigger gloves also mean McGregor may find himself in striking range of Mayweather more often than compared to in MMA.
