The heavier the glove, the more padding and the more shock absorbed by the glove, rather than the fist and point of contact on the opposition fighter.Following this up, there will be eight rounds instead of the usual 12.And for those eight rounds, they will be two minutes long instead of the standard three minutes you see in a professional bout.For the fight, there will be the usual three judges at ringside who will score each round in the event of there not being a knockout, which are sanctioned. No head guards will be allowed, either.Rules split fansSome fans aren’t too happy with the specific rules, with one saying: “14-ounce gloves?
