Winning brand - is it overrated?

I don't know which Ringside's you had, but I use to have Ringside 14 oz's and were made of all-cowhide leather, it was the best f**kin' glove I've ever owned.

I dont remember but they cost me about 60 bucks. Maybe I just have frageeel hands...but I dont regret getting the Winnings.

is it better to use lighter winning 12-14 oz for bag work? because i have a pair of 16 oz winning and they feel weird when i use them on the heavy bag. almost like they're to bouncy or something.

Man, I have the same issue with my 16 oz Winning's, I actually regret getting the 16's. But, at the time they didn't have the 14's. I should've just waited.

Well, as I always say. "Why use gloves the gloves that your not going to fight in for training?" So, I always get 10-12oz gloves. Why train with big ol' steam boats when your gonna fight with smaller gloves anyways?

Its like training Muay Thai with shin pads. Makes no sense. You feel me?

It offers protection and improves speed and stamina. You want more protection while you're training so that your body doesn't age fast man. You wanna be slapping like Calzaghe before you go pro?

On the flipside bigger gloves make it easier to gaurd your face, and it's a little weird suddenly having smaller gloves slip through your guard when you're fighting. DEAL WITH IT *****!

Each post you make, I can imagine Chuck Norris saying it. Like standing in front of me with a serious expression and saything that ****. lmfao!

also, it works for Calzaghe. Aparently slapping will make you undefeated.

I've never had Windy gloves, but just 2 weeks ago I tried 'em on at this local MMA shop in my area and they had a heavybag in their back area, I really liked 'em. Better than Twins

I've worn a lot of different glove boxing, but since I've taken up mauy thai, Windy's are the best I've worn. The way the form fit your hand.....most comfortable gloves I've worn yet.

Holy ****, I just went to the Winning website and as if their prices high weren't enough, they raised it atleast $40 more. Their headgear w/ a facebar just days ago was sellin' for $330 it's now sellin' for $370. Their 16 oz velcro gloves used to be $240 it's now for$285. G*ddamn

Now I really think they're overrated.

I have owned Reyes, Grant and Winning and the latter are by far the best in terms of comfort, build quality and hand protection (actually Reyes build quality rivals Winning) I have very small hands though (i weigh around 180lbs) and i'd struggle to do someone damage in 12oz Winning. Stay well away from Everlast. To answer the question they are overpriced but if you want the best you'll swallow the cost. I always wondered why Calzaghe never wore Winning if his hands were as bad as he claimed.

I actually met the guy who operates Winning USA several times and he has a different perspective. He said he was so surprised how cheap most other boxing gear was in the US. He said Winning are expensive because they are hand made in Japan and labor there is not cheap.
