(1) Gloves in the weight classes of welterweight and below must be no less than eight ounces, and must have the thumbs attached. Gloves in weight classes of middleweights and above must be of no less than ten ounces in weight, and must have thumbs attached. The only exception to this rule is in championship bouts where the board may authorize eight ounce gloves, thumbs attached, for any weight class.
(2) No breaking, roughing or twisting of gloves shall be permitted. Gloves shall be examined by the inspector. If padding is found to be misplaced or lumpy, or if gloves are found to be imperfect, other gloves shall be substituted therefore.
(3) Gloves and headgear shall be cleaned with a disinfectant between each bout.
