One says Mexico, one says Reyes?

That's not two different brands is it?

Nah, they are both horse-hair Reyes.

His left glove just has the newer logo. His right glove has the old logo.

Horse-hair? What on earth? Has Cambell been cheating? Was this known at the time... how come there has been no trial or investigation? Horse hair is a completely illegal thing to pack into gloves.

I can't believe you are claiming this! Source? Link?

lol! it's not illegal. we are just in a time period where gloves are transitioning from horse-hair into horse-hair/foam combination, into all foam, into different mixtures of foam.

horsehair was just the original way of creating gloves. remember the Resto fight, where his trainer removed some of the hosehair padding from Resto's gloves, AND used plaster wraps? horsehair was the first style of glove padding, i believe.

by the way, the original horse-hair reyes have a thin layer of foam, too.

those gloves are not completely horsehair, unlike the old school everlast from decades ago.
