Id be getting 16 oz. Im not talking about pro fight gloves here.:boxing:
What gloves do you use?
I use reyes and everlast professional training gloves. If grant comes out with a new professional training glove ill buy it but their current pro training gloves have alot of improvement to make. If you didnt notice they also make them different for pros. I have seen afew pros with them in my gym and they had a different interior and seemed fresher.
these were the first Grant gloves i bought, give them a shot, if you dont like them dont purchase the more expensive pro model

NOOOOOOOOOOO dont buy grant training gloves man! I bought them and had to keep sending them back because the inside material was ripping after 2 uses. I had a hard time with them aswell. There wrist/cuff protection is wayyy to much and it came all the way down to about 3/4 of my forearms which made it really hard to keep my speed and made it really uncomftrable. That was after I already broke them in! I sent them back twice and they just kept sending me ones that did the same thing and even gave me attitude over the phone! So unless your willing to risk the interior tearing on you and you have some long forearms to still be flexible and keep your speed with those long ass cuffs, then i wouldnt get them at all!

i agree the grant gloves are easier on your hands:boxing: and your sparring partner. when i spar with someone i dont like i break out my 16oz reyes gloves.
From what website did you order them?
Grant's 16 oz are heavier then Everlast's or Main Event's gloves (which are pretty good themselves). They feel heavier even though they weigh exactly the same.
Grant's are way more comfrotable then Everlast's. I perfer Main Event's for sparring because I feel they are lighter.
Grant gloves are better for your hands (since Reyes' are considered "punchers gloves" because of the distribution of the padding) Plus I think Grants look better.
Grants are also considered punchers gloves, nad the padding is similarly distributed. It seems as if almost all Mexican gloves are "punchers" gloves.

no prob man. i forgot one point- the grant gloves look sicckkkk, lol. I have the Black/Blue grant pro no-foul on order and may get matching blue grant training gloves down the line when i have the loot to match. Good luck brother.
thanks. They do look sick. The Grant website only has red and black in stock, so unless I find another good site, ill probably get red.
I'd stay with Everlast. I feel the IMF are a bit too padded, I just switched back to Everlast and while the protection is a bit less, performance is better. I have a 16oz Grant Sparring pair and the inside material broke down quickly and the size looks wayyy bigger than 16 oz. Reyes are pretty good, but obviously a puncher's glove.

well reyes are punchers gloves and sparring isnt really for hurting your opponent. A lot of pros use Grants or Winning for training/sparring for protection and save the reyes for pro fights when they are willing to sacrifice their hands to hurt their opponent (i.e. de la hoya, pacquiao, etc).
Grants still pack a punch and are really protective. Definately the Grants are better for sparring/training IMO. My trainer used to use Reyes 20oz and always would get swollen hands. Now he uses the Grant 20 oz and they feel like 18oz.
I personally use the Ringside IMF 18oz- very good value and great protection (I'm a pro guitarist so protection comes first)!!!!! Plus you can get them in velcro OR lace, when the Grants are just lace, which will save a lot of time in taking them on and off. You lose a little wrist protection with velcro (very little), but I always tape over my wraps anyway now for extra wrist protection, so its all good...
Thankss a lot. I used to use Everlast pro training gloves, but they are getting old. I'll probably go for the grant gloves next.
