    Powerlocks vs Grant gloves

    If Chino only can choose between Powerlocks and Grants, Should he go with Grants?

    this article talks about the pros and cons of different gloves

    Perhaps the most important piece of equipment used in the ring by fighters is the type of gloves they choose to wear on the night of the fight, as well as during their training...


    Grants are excellent gloves, and like Winning, they are used by fighters who need hand protection but still aren't too protective to be deemed as pillow-type gloves.

    Everlast Gloves-Basically, they're in between "pillows" and the "puncher's gloves," which gives them a nice balance in terms of protection and punching power

    That's the regular Everlast so i'm assuming powerlocks are worse for power punchers, so why not just use Grants?

    Also didn't Chino use Winning Gloves in the Morales fight? and look what he did to Morales face and according to the article Winning Gloves are considered the worse for punchers.

    Winning also offers the greatest hand protection of any gloves out there, which is why they’re often referred to as “pillows.” But if you’re a fighter with hand problems, these gloves are for you.

    So i would go with Grants more than Powerlocks, i seen punchers like GGG and Kovalev use Grants in there fights.

    Maidana doesnt have hand problems so why would he want Grants?

    PowerLocks are like a hybrid to my understanding. Half foam and half horse hair.

      Idk, i only used Everlast to spar so idk what Powerlocks feel like, Grants i seen punchers use it too so i assumed its for both but if Chino used Winning Gloves to damage Morales face and that's considered the most as Pillows he should still have power with either Powerlocks and Grants.

        They are sponsered by everylast just like mayweather is sponsered by grants, so neither will every wear any other pairs.

          Im pretty sure his power still there but there's a difference between being hit with horse hair and foam. Horse hair is much harder. Less cushion.

            Good article, in our gym we use Winning for sparring, and Reyes in the pro fights usually. Some wear Everlast, but the good one's.

              Ya, i think that's why Floyd got so freaked out, If the MX gloves are for punchers there probably like Reyes Gloves in that the weight is disturbed more around the writs and have very little padding in the knuckle area. When he tried on the glove himself in all access and said HELL NO!! because he didn't feel alot of padding i know he was scared.

                The Morales fight is a poor example to make a point. Erika used his face for defense.

                  A lot of wear and tear on that face too.
