    Reebok Gloves Not Allowed--Khan Wearing Everlast Now

    LAS VEGAS -- Bunch of stuff going here as we all get ready for Saturday night's Amir Khan-Marcos Maidana junior welterweight title fight at Mandalay Bay.

    There was an issue Friday over the gloves the fighters would wear. Khan has an endorsement deal with Reebok to wear a pair of custom-made gloves. However, when the Maidana camp didn't like the look of them, it asked the Nevada commission to weigh them. Turns out Reebok made an error because the gloves were 9.5 ounces when they were supposed to be 8 ounces, the weight for a junior welterweight fight under Nevada rules. The gloves were disallowed by the commission and Khan will instead wear Everlast while Maidana will wear what he planned to wear all along, Everlast MX.

    You'd think the Maidana camp wouldn't have made it an issue, instead preferring for Khan to wear larger gloves because they would perhaps diminish his punching power. However, psychologically, it seems the Maidana preferred to try to get into Khan's head by taking something away from him that he wanted.

    However, joke's on them. From what I am told, Khan is thrilled with the turn of events because he prefers Everlast anyway. He was going to wear the Reeboks only to honor his contract with the manufacturer. Once the Reebok gloves were disallowed, Khan was allowed to switch.

    So Maidana WANTED them to prevent Khan from using 9.5 ounce gloves when Marcos would be wearing 8 ounce gloves?

    Sounds really ****** to me

        I hope Khan brutally 1 hit KO's and see his error of judgement.

          Maidana's face is really going to get cut up if this is the case.
