Micah Nori Launches Blazers 'Knockout Punch' Glove Ritual

Portland Trailbers head coach Micah Nori introduced a new locker room tradition called the "Knockout Punch," awarding signed boxing gloves to any player who delivers impactful plays, not just stars. During opening night against Phoenix, Nori announced that Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s pair of gloves awaits the standout earning this honor. The ritual was unveiled after players surprised him with a cold-water bath post-victory.
