why is there such a big difference between the size of their gloves?

[@Cherokee2A.]

Everlast gloves always look larger, especially compared to Grant. It’s just the way the glove is built but the actual weight of the glove needs to be the same in any professional fight

[@sstar13oy32]

They're both 8 ounces. The size can be attributed to the different structure of the gloves.
