    it's more likely that this is the first internet messageboard losers have heard the term and so they are upset by this.
    they're called pillows all the time like our classic gloves are called sponges from time to time

    the reason I have been told they're called pillows is this. They have different layers of different foam in the hand area to protect the hands. This gives the fighter great protection but minimize impact. The grants tend to break down during a fight giving an almost pillow like effect when hitting.

    Vic has worn Reyes almost his whole career like Mosley split time between Everlast and Reyes.

      Everyone knows floyd has the brittle bones of a senior citizen woman and isn't man enough to wear Reyes gloves like a man.

      Joe Cortez is another bs advantage. GBP are clearly corrupt when it comes to refs.

      And if Ortiz goes into the ring first and Floyd gets to make him wait thats another bs advantage.

      Fraud is scared to fight Ortiz with Reyes gloves, a non-bias ref and going into the ring first.

          Hey Eaner, can you talk a bit more on what you meant by the Grants breaking down during a fight?

          The different quirks and benefits of certain gloves are always interesting.

                  Oscar tilted all odds in his favor for that fight and Floyd still beat his ass.

                    depends on the glove's oz they are allowed. What glove weights more? a 12 oz Grant or a 12 oz Reyes??

                      word de la hoya had his way in them negotiations, i forgot..

                      i really believe they wanted reyes more so for what could happen to floyd against carlos hernandez than being a punchers glove for the bigger puncher
