Winning Gloves

[potatoes]

Has anybody ever used a pair of these gloves and if so where did you find them?

Russ Anber reported on TSN that Floyd Mayweather uses Winning gloves because he thinks they protect his hands better. You may have noticed that Mayweather's gloves appeared to be larger than Judah's. Judah uses Everlast, which have a different kind of padding, but still weigh the same amount as the Winning gloves.

yup, from what i've heard:

cleto reyes (mexico) gloves, it's padding is less focused on the knuckles, increasing chance of injury to both fighters. aka the puncher's gloves

everlast (usa?) gloves, are all-around, or standard.

winning (japan) gloves, it's padding is more focused on the knuckles and hand, reducing chance of injury to both boxers. aka the pillow gloves.

i'm not sure about Grant gloves.

Grant Pro gloves are great! Well padded. I use a pair of 10 ounces for all my bag and mitt work. As far as his sparring gloves go, they are not good at all. Too stiff, unable to make a closed fist and the padding is not always's placed correctly. They are hand made so that could be the factor, but so are his pro gloves, and every pair I have owned have been fantastic. Just stay away from the sparring gloves. I never see them used in any gym, and those who have tried them did not like them. Everlast sparring gloves are better, but Ringside International are the best by far. Ringsides safety gloves are way too padded and bulky.

www.winning-usa.com Buy Ringside International style (I use the Ringside International 14 ounce). They are almost the same in style and fit, MUCH CHEAPER! I have a Winning headgear with the bar on it (FG5000). Cost me $329.95 but, no cuts, bloody noses and bruises. All the top pros in CA wear it for that extra protection. But let me tell you, you will still feel every solid hit. On maxbox Edwin Valero almost kayo'd Urbano Antillion who was wearing the bar Winning headgear. So it is best to protect against cuts. I bruise and cut, and I spar at least 3 days per week, and at 35, I can't afford any gym injuries now. All the best to you!

boxingcp,

i read your post about the everlast training gloves at a different forum. it was dated may 21, 2006. you said they are like rocks and hurt your hands?

and recently here you said "Everlast sparring gloves are better, but Ringside International are the best by far.".

are you talking about the same $80 everlast training glove?

i heard everlast changes their glove design/material from time to time, could it be that they are good now?

one more question, in all of those sparring videos of pros in California, are they using the Winning SoftType glove, or the standard Winning glove?

standard: http://winning-usa.com/progloves.html

i went there and i can't find anything made by Winning.

are you talking about Windy?

[boxingcp]

Windy are for Muay Thai boxers or Pacman. That's where it should stay. Everlast 14 oz. were like rocks, the 18oz. and 16 oz. were soft and usable. The other problem with Everlast sparring gloves, the thumb sticks out way far, and I have seen guys getting out of the ring poked in the eye by them. You are right, Everlast does make everything different. I purchased headgear from them (old school, and when I purchased another, it was padded different (less) and the cheek protectors were smaller! I saw one at another gym and it was so padded it was going to explode! Good move made by Everlast...moving to kansas and having China produce the equipment now. When I used to drive into the Bronx to buy it, it was always's produced the same way. Hey, save money and ruin a great Bronx NY tradition, nevermind lay off all those people. But you'll notice they still put Bronx NY on their equipment and made in China on the back...

[boxingcp]

As far as the Winning gloves go, they are always's using the standard brand. I have seen Pacquio use the soft type only.
