Grant Boxing Gloves

[Palma]

I have a set of 14 oz Grant gloves and they are awesome! I personally prefer them over the popular Reyes model.

Grant? good looking Mexican gloves, For some reason I like reyes better, but their all good.

You guys are missing my point; look at my post on page 3. The question is how can the gloves appear to be so big yet are the regulation weight of 10-12oz? And does the size affect the outcome of the fight if reyes or everlast had been used?

to the above i see what you mean bout them looking bigger. I dont know how they are bigger unless the padding is less dense than say reyes. But also with them being so padded i wonder if winkys defence would be so good if he didnt use grant but if he uses reyes instead. Just a thought

I've resurrected this old thread because after watching FNF last night I really noticed how 'big' these gloves look. How can these gloves be the regulation weight of 10-12oz? And does the use of Grant gloves affect the outcome of the fight had Everlast or Reyes been used?

My point: the Grant gloves look really colorful and great but are they affecting the boxing match because they are bulky and seem to absorb more the blow than a smaller glove.

Thoughts/ opininions please.

I noticed that as well during the first fight. When the fighters put their hands up they blocked shots pretty easily and not just partially, but fully blocked. Plus I think Winky uses them and in the Taylor fight he was blocking the hell out of Taylor's punches when he was using that peek a boo style of his. I know he is great defensively, but it seemed like those Grant gloves helped him out a bit. They do seem fluffier for some reason. Maybe it's the colors that mess with our eyes. I know whenever I see a fight that has guys that were white gloves they seem a lot bigger. I remember the PBF/Judah fight Mayweather's gloves seemed a hell of a lot bigger. I personally like the Reyes gloves better because they are the puncher's glove, but I don't mind a variety in color as well.

Winky and Grant should be synonomous with "defense" because the way he uses them is a big advantage. I guess its one of the 'tricks of trade.' Actually, I once saw an interview with Shane Mosley on ESPN where he said that "they should change the name of the gloves to WINKY instead of Grant."

As for them looking bigger, I'm sure its not because of the colors but because they actually are bigger. Now I think the question is, are the gloves absorbing enough of a punches power to prevent a KO where if it were a different glove the punch may have felt harder.

Another thing, I think that if you have the smaller weight class fighters wearing these gloves then the affect of the gloves will be much greater than in the heavier weight classes. I think if Bantam, fly, and feather weight fighters use the gloves then you see a significant differential in KOs than if they were wearing everlast or reyes.

I've noticied during the past couple of years that alot of championship fights most noticeably in middle-lightweight divisions the use of colorful Grant boxing gloves. These gloves are very visually appealing and look much different than any other boxing glove I've have seen.

IMO the use of these odd colored boxing gloves is a refreshing change to the normal red Reyes and Everlast boxing gloves. The two and three color gloves remind me of when Foreman and Frasier fought and used similiar'red and purple' and 'yellow and green'gloves. I think Grant company saw some promise in this idea and designed its own line of boxing gloves to look similiar to these.

So, what do you guys think? As spectators of the sport do you prefer the standard red and/or black or the crazy color schemes of Grant. Or do you guys not care about what the ****** boxing gloves look like? Also, I would like to see Tyson fight in a pair of these gloves.

To me it doesn't matter what the glove looks like as long as they are quality. I have never tried Grants but they do look nice!

The design of the gloves is what sells me on them. I just love how the different colors can be put together, I remember when Roy got KTFO by Johnson he had these dark blue and red gloves, DOPE!

and it like soccer.....before every guy used the same color, plain black, but now there are white, red, blue, etc....and they look cool imo =P
