Steve Bunce: Smaller gloves for Adams will add ‘power’

5 live Boxing’s Steve Bunce says wearing smaller gloves will give Nicola Adams “more power” and as a result bring her “more attention”.

The double Olympic gold medallist marked her professional debut with a shutout points victory over Argentina's Virginia Carcamo in Manchester on Saturday.

Speaking to 5 live’s Caroline Barker, Bunce said Adams’ gloves were too big and likened them to ‘enormous 10 ounce pillows’.

He confirmed Adams is planning to go to the British Boxing Board of Control to have her glove size reduced to eight ounces.
