ESPN: Mayweather team challenged Pacquiao's Cleto-Reyes gloves

[nathan_nall]

why does the best fighter ever need to play mind games?

Right? I think you guys give him way to much credit. This cat can't get past a Dr. Seuss title page and you all act like he's using inception to alter Manny's dreams.

They do, a model produced in Mexico (and not available on ringside. com, I think). It's a model called "safetec " and from what I have heard it feels very "soft".

With that said, I don't know which model Pac will be using.

I seen those Safetec I think Pacquiao used yellow ones against Mosley,

Not surprised at all. Of course they'd challenge this. What else does the chest rubber do in his day

Just curious if any of you have ever handled Reyes championship gloves (not the run of the mill heavy bag or sparring gloves).

I haven't. I've gotten to play around with some high end Everlast gloves but never Reyes or Grant.

Just wondering if there's really that noticeable of a difference. You always hear that Reyes is a puncher's glove, tough on hands and faces. Grant protects brittle hands. And, Everlast is somewhere in between.

Cleto Reyes makes 2 types of pro fight gloves.
Punchers: horse hair and foam
Safetecs: foam

Grant Boxing makes 2 types of pro fight gloves.
Standard: foam
Punchers: Horse hair and foam

Everlast makes 4 types of pro fight gloves.
MX: foam and horsehair
Powerlocks: foam
Protex3: foam
1910: foam

All the punchers gloves are thin and hardly any padding over the knuckles. All the brands foam padded gloves are varying thickness.

For a boxer, He's a mental midget.

So Pacquiao must have used the horse hair and foam punchers glove? because someone just told me the SAFETEC foams will say pro fight safetec on the thumbs, Pacs gloves don't say safetecs.

If on fightnight he has the safetec on the thumbs he is using the foams.

Correct the safetecs have the label on the thumb. I hope not, but if the label is on the thumb on fight night, he is using the foam Reyes gloves.

why does he have to be like this?

it's dishonorable
