dno bout how long they last but ide say theyre the best lookin gloves goin lol

true that:banana: they are great looking gloves

They are very hard to make a solid fist in even when you aren't wrapped! Your hands will tire very quickly. The leather and quality of Grant is by far the best I have seen, better than Winning (although, if Grant fit like Winning I would recommend) and the Pro ten ounce gloves are the best and most comfortable for bag work. But the sparring gloves I have tried numerous times and always's a problem with fist closure and knuckle tightness. Plus that new logo is the worst and in my opinion, ruin a great pro glove. All my boxers hate it. Boxers in my other gym call them colorform gloves.

I acutlly like those gloves. I once bought a pair on special for 50 bucks, I was able to make a great fist and they felt as if they were already worn in and had really good cushining at first. Mine wore out in 3 months i this it was or less. They are expensive but i recommend them.

Reyes looks better IMO

are the Grant Super Power Bag Gloves good for the heavy bag?

expensive though.

are they worth $109 how long do they last? the training gloves

I love mine had em almost a yr. use em almost daily. except when I want a larger Glove I use the e-last pro training glove. But I'd say they are worth every bit of the 110 I paid for em.

:boxing: :boxing: :boxing:

Maybe I just didn't have a good feel to mine. I still love the Pro Grants, 10oz. They are the best fit you can buy.

pro fight gloves can also be used for heavybag/mitts?

so they aren't just for professional bouts only.. cool.

Not at all! I have a pair of Everlast red 10oz. for the mitts. They feel great and the look of them gets everyone wanting to try them on. They look so classic. The Grants feel the best, except the constant logo questions. People always's want to know what that logo is and some think it's corny. I don't like it either but the gloves, like I said, feel the best on the heavybag and offer the best hand comfort.

what's the difference between the grant super power bag gloves and the grant pro fight gloves for hitting the heavy bag?

comfort difference, hand protection difference, weight difference? (pro being 8 oz. or 10 oz., super power bag gloves being 12 oz.)

the super power bag gloves are more expensive, but shouldn't it provide better hand protection for hitting the heavybag?

Yeah better protection being the reason why they are large then the pro boxing gloves.

I LOOOOOVE my Grants. Currently the only gloves i like better are my brown, 18oz Classics (used to be Zepol) straight from Mexico. Other than the Classics, Grants fit me better than anything else out there, especially Reyes which never felt right (tried multiple pairs).

I've got a pair of the 16oz lace ups and a pair of the 10oz super bag gloves with velcro.

They've held up really well in my opinion - been using the super bag gloves almost daily this summer and aside from a slight lifting of the edge of the velcro they're mint.

10 ounces of padding can take some getting used to if you regularly use heavier gloves; gotta watch out for bruised & cut knuckles but your punching form & accuracy should improve drastically.

I would say definitely worth the money; especially if you don't already have a favorite.

the grant super power bag gloves, come in "regular" and "large".
http://www.ringside.com/detail.aspx?ID=25853

does that mean regular is 10 oz. and large is 12 oz.?

i think i'll go with the large/12 oz.


by the way, anyone know what's up with www.grantboxing.com ?

it hasnt worked in 2 days. i remember seeing custom colors that you can choose for gloves, but cost more. im interested in that.

holy **** $50?

oh yeah, i remember the news about Holyfield endorsing Grant boxing products in retail stores. the article was dated in Jan. 06.

the article said Grant has teamed up with Century (popular retail/in-store combat sports products brand) to sell Grant's products in store.

http://www.centuryfitness.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10051&productId=88644&langId=-1&product_parentId=13549&crumb=13501&categoryId=13549&parent_category_rn=13523

i dont know, but those dont look like the professional quality Grant products found at www.ringside.com and www.grantboxing.com.

i hope they aren't like the cheap versions of Everlast gloves found in retail stores.

Those are cheap vinyl garbage. Just like the Everlast cheap sporting good line that people who don't know better, buy. The stuff at Ringside I don't even know if it's made in Mexico with Grant craftmanship. All the reyes equipment is made by Ringside, in China or the Kansas factory and is the same as Ringside equipment, just higher priced with the Reyes label. (Everlast did the same to save money) It's cheaper to use Chinese labor, cheaper quality leather and slap your label on it. Authentic Reyes is bought in Mexico and the quality is breathtaking! Here is a link to the true Reyes factory... www.cletoreyes.com.mx

Authentic Reyes gloves would be too much $$$ for Ringide to import and sell, so they make them in China or Kansas by machine and sell with the Reyes label. Reyes pro gloves DO NOT have that garbage black line on the thumb area. that shows you right away if the gloves are fake US made. Here is a pic of US made fakes...<a href="http://img144.imageshack.us/my.php?image=reyesdetailkm9.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9366/reyesdetailkm9.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a>

Here is a description I found and pics of authentic real Reyes, just look at the thumb area and the detail! CLETO REYES 10oz PRO FIGHT GLOVES that were purchased Directly from the CLETO REYES FACTORY in MEXICO CITY. These gloves are an authentic genuine "Mexico City Pair" which are unique to those sold here in the USA. The ones that are distributed in the USA have a label that indicate that they are distributed in by a USA company like ringside. But these Mexico City Pairs have a different label that is written in spanish that indicates that they are crafted and sold out of mexico city. The leather on these mexico city pairs are also much brighter than the ones made by american companies. These gloves on auction are only sold in Mexico City and are extremely rare outside the borders of Mexico. <a href="http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ultimatereyeslr0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/3419/ultimatereyeslr0.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a>

oh my god, i didn't know that, boxingcp.


is that true?? how did you find this out?


so would you recommend getting Grant stuff from www.grantboxing.com and reyes stuff from their official site??

oh you just answered my question while i was typing it, haha. thanks man.

Now, who knows if the Grant equipment at Ringside will be authentic. I haven't seen any of it yet. But I have been using Grant for years, since it first appeared on the scene, and if their is a difference, i'll let you guys know.

I have been in this game since 1985! I found out about the reyes equipment thru a guy in Cali who deals with authentic Reyes equipment. As far as Everlast, I have been to the Bronx factory many times, and the equipment was made there, on site. Now the headgear and gloves say MADE IN CHINA!!! Save money. The factory was shut down, everyone fired (or layed off as corporations say!) and the company moved to Kansas to produce equipment and merged with Title.

damn, that's good info.

www.grantboxing.com is finally working. they made some changes to the site.

i think the gloves are a little bit cheaper.

but, there's no more options for custom colors. just red/black for pro gloves, and just black for power bag gloves.

the same exact Grant gloves are also at www.ringside.com. same colors and price, but i wonder if the gloves from ringside are authentic Grant.

at http://www.cletoreyes.com.mx/ing/index.html

if i wanted to purchase something, how do i do it? they dont show prices or "add to cart".

are authentic Reyes gear so rare that you have to contact them?

what if i wanted authentic professional everlast equipment?

www.titleboxing.com

or

www.everlastboxing.com


?

i just noticed, whenever someone talks about Bag gloves, no one ever mentions the everlast professional heavy bag gloves (10oz., 12oz, $79)

is it because they are the same price as the everlast professional training gloves, and people prefer to get the training glove instead?

i'm deciding on some top of the line 12 oz. bag gloves.

so far my choices are:

grant power bag gloves
everlast professional heavy bag gloves
ringside super bag gloves (cheap, heard they are good, but how good compared to the more expensive bag gloves?)

Grant pro 10 oz gloves are best for all bag and mitt work. A 2nd choice would be Ringside pro 12 or 10 oz. gloves. Bag gloves are too stiff. Pro gloves are the best fitting. As far as ordering from Reyes Industria, no idea... I think you would have to go to Mexico City to buy direct or be a big time promoter, trainer and have connections.

i see.

about using pro gloves for heavybag work....

is there a reason why pros need their hands wrapped pro-style for their bouts?

i thought it was for added protection since they are using very small pro fight gloves.

so it's safe to use standard mexican style 180inch handwraps and pro fight gloves on the heavybag?


oh yeah, i almost forgot. pro gloves are only available in lace-up. i prefer velcro for faster on/off.

what's your opinion on using 10-12 oz. amateur competition gloves on the heavy bag?

by the way, i'll be ordering the ringside water/foam 120lbs heavybag soon, so it should be safer when using pro fight gloves on it?

Water heavybags, no comment. I use the Everlast 50lb. leather bag in my gym. My boxers all love it! It is a softer bag and I have used that brand since 2002. You don't need to wrap like a pro with gauze and tape etc. The mexican 180 are perfect for any glove. As far as lace gloves, Ringside, Title and Amber all sell a glove assist that you attach to the laces for instant velcro. I use it on all my lace gloves.. www.ringside.com/DETAIL.ASPX?ID=24716 Amateur gloves are ok for bag work, I prefer pro.

Pro glove implies a fight glove which is usually a blend of foam and horsehair, unless I'm mistaken and they've completely done away with the horsehair. My point is that I thought fight gloves weren't made to stand up to daily training?

I have the Grant super bag gloves and after you break them in, they're real nice.

i know i have been to ringside and title

I recently ordered some pro boxing gloves 10 oz from everlastboxing.com, and have just got an email saying that they have none in stock and that i will have to wait awhile to order again.. everlast are the only real gloves iv ever tried..

So should i also go for some grants or just go to the local shops and try to find the everlast or does anyone recommend any other gloves? also whats some good boxing shoes? price isnt really an issue..

Ringside super bag gloves are supposed to be pretty good for mitts and the bag. They're nice and cheap too.

If you want to spend the extra money go for Reyes or Grants: Reyes if you've got stubby, fat fingers & a wide fist; Grants if you've got long, slender fingers & a more narrow fist.

I still don't think fight gloves are made to hold up to daily training, so I would still say go with a super bag glove for bag & mitts, and a good training glove for sparring.

usually local shops dont carry the professional quality gear. they usually have the cheap versions for less price.

i heard the ringside pro fight gloves are good on the bag.

the red color is on sale for $39.99

My Grant 10 oz gloves last thru brutal training for months on end. They are the most comfort and built tough. Everlast 10 oz. are not ideal for long term bag and mitt work. They are not as padded as Grant, and if I was boxing pro, I would rather be hit by Grant gloves for sure. Everlast are true punchers gloves now. But they will hurt your hands in the long run. Ringside bag gloves will last forever, that is true. They are way too stiff for me. As far as shoes go, again Tygun by Adidas are awesome.
