    So i settled for Grant!!

    Yea so ive been boxing again for 2 weeks from a 6 month break, and right before i left boxing my left hand began hurting the front below the knuckles..so i did some research and found out it depends on the brand you use...to this point i thought all gloves were the same just different style...i thought about getting the gel but havent heard of any pro boxers using them so didnt know there credibility..in the end i decided to get grant cause i heard mayweather used these before winning..i got these pair

    At Ringside, we are serious about fight sports, especially boxing and MMA. We offer the best prices on boxing equipment in addition to videos, tutorials, and guides. Low-cost shipping guaranteed!


    i hope there everything i expect or well at least better then my everlast...anyways ill post back with what i think about them when i get them in the mail!!

    oh one question do those gel hand wraps really work?

    honestly it depends on your punch teqnique its not about who owns the best brand glove the best of the best just show up to practice pick whatever gloves out the bin and learn the sacred art of boxing just practice on your teqnique and your hands will stop hurting

      Sometimes it really is the glove. Nice choice. I know my title super bag gloves ( non gel ) always make my knuckles sore, but my grant bag gloves do not.

        Maybe this is the case with newbies but my technique is down to a tee..but i still always see need for improvement...but i seriously dont think that statement is true for a boxer who has been boxing for a while..i think the gloves do pay a big part as well...im waiting for these gloves still..i think they went out today as soon as i get them theres gona be some serious power shots thrown to see if there good enough to keep my hands feelin good...im tired of having all the stamina and muscle power but cant throw a punch to hard cause my hand hurts...

          Ok so i got my gloves today and well damn i wish i would of known about these gloves from the get go...First off the glove feels huge but the padding inside is so ****in awesome when i punch the bag with all my power the foam molds to my hand and i feel no pain...i went about 12 rounds on the heavy-bag field with sand and 4 rounds on the heavy bag field with water....another 4 rounds on a circular bag to practice upper cuts and hooks and finished it off with 4 rounds on the floor to ceiling ball...never once did my knuckles force me to stop...the only downside is there so much padding its hard to make a fist but i guarantee a week from now ill have it flatned down and easier to make a fist...i also like the velcro strap it makes my wrist feel hella secure like it tightens all the way around my wrist...

            Ive tried those on and ill tell you right now, The everlast professional lace up training gloves would smoke GRANTS! I have tried on and used both the campeon and the ****ty ass professional grant gloves. I dont know why people hype them up so much, they werent even that great besides the extra secure padding on the thumb and inside of the gloves.

              I just got my title gel bag gloves in today, Never experience anything better, better than any other bag glove I've used. I can't speak on reliability yet though. I know the grants last though.

                  Well yea your right man, im just pissed at grant as you can see because i got the pro training gloves from grant and they were horrible! I can clearly tell they were made in mexico, and if you dont know the campeon line from grant was not made in mexico. Are you talking about the 80 dollar everlast professional training gloves, the real training gloves not th 25 dollar ****s they sell at wallmart?

                    yea i can understand that if anyone messes with my money im pissed, naw i had the 80 dollar ones..there ok gloves but my hands for some reason always hurt after a months usage and when im throwin punches i have to pull back somewhat..thats great they work for you though..it sucks cause people see me in the gym and there like man he's bigger and i throw a harder punch but its not cause of that it was since my knuckles were hurting...but the grants are working fine for me now..im tempted to by those gel ones next. Just so i can compare them and know what im dealing with...but damn its gona take forever to break in these grants lol. i know the campeons are not made in mexico but i forget where are they made again?....or maybe my next glove will be winnings i dont know id hate to spend that much only to be disappointed!
