    Yeah boxing classics are now being sold by the guy in Texas when the brothers who made the Zepol brand decided to split ways.

    Yep, Billboxing. That's the same guy.

      Some guy at the gym got a pair of yellow 16 oz Casanovas and he only used them once. He's pretty big too; probably light heavy.



      Yeah that's what billboxing on ebay told me



      These are yours, right? I wouldn't use those either. I'd just put em in a safe place on display somewhere.

      If you notice, the cuffs on those, the ribbs are much fatter, kinda like how the reyes gloves today are. Now look the pics from mine, they are much thinner.

      The same thing is with the Zepol brand. Zepol brand used to have the extra long cuffs like the grants and fat, but now the renamed 'boxing classics' cuffs look just like the new Casanovas.
      LOL!!! yea those are mine... yea i have them in the closet....
      both signed by nacho and juan m marquez
      w00t!!
      yea i can tell the difference a lil...
      u know ive used the zepol.. i diidnt like them... there toooo stiff

      ayooo sox look wat i found bro!!!!

        So Zepol is over and Classics is what has come from it?

        Are casanovas still "illegal" because of the thumb? Or have they updated the styling?

          Yeah Zepol became boxing classics and Casanova still doesn't have the attached thumb. If you can find one that fits, the thumb during sparring shouldn't be too much of an issue. You would need to have realy strong thumbs to be able to poke someone in the eye with them.

                You know what, the Pro-Mex gloves are real nice gloves. I tried them on and they felt good. I have no idea why those geniuses at Title even marketed them as a cheaper version of Reyes gloves. All that does is give the gloves the stigma that they are cheap knock offs. If they would just have come out with them and not made the comparisons, they wouldn't automatically have a bad rap without some users actually trying them on.

                Flores was never a Mexican glove. They are California gloves and always been made in the USA!!

                Never tried on some grants, but everyone at the gym seems to like them. Pork chop goes bannanas over his. Probably gonna be my next pair once my current gloves become unusable.

                Morales are made in Mexico? Never had the chance to see them in person or try them on.

                The guy in charge of my gym has like a closet full of old stinky mexican gloves. I should ask him if I can take a pic of them before I move back to Cali. I'll post them up once I have them.

                  Ahh maybe I should've said mexican style? Same thing went on with the Fighting gloves Title made, automatic comparisons to Wining for obvious reasons.

                  Edit: Actually I think I meant Mexican-made gloves when I made that list. I've seen Flores labeled as Mexi gloves so idk. Morales bears the tag Hecho en Mexico, so I assume so.

                    Yeah I think people automatically assume they are Mexican from the name but they are, or were, more of an old school glove than a 'Mexican' type glove. Funny thing is, the old time Reyes gloves, when they used to be labeled 'Seyer' looked the same way along with all the other gloves back then.

                    Also, did you know Zepol is actually 'Lopez'? They just did it backwards the same way with the Seyer-Reyes thing. Crazy Messicans

                    I can't wait to see how those pics turn out.

                      Lol I didn't know that, interesting piece of info man. I was also wondering if Seyers was still made, glad to know that its now Reyes.

                      Do you know anything about Palomares, Solo, and Spartan?
