    Anyone else notice this? I see it on a lot of PBC younger fighters, and I think Loma wears them as well. How are they in comparison to Grants? Or Cletos?

    Ive never worn a pair but I suspect it has a lot to do with style.

    Rivals are, I think, Russ Amber gloves. Russ Amber have been a known trainer for several years now, not has known as many big names, but he have been in Wilder's and Lomachenko's corners for instance. So I think he knows what boxer are looking for.

    If he's been in either of those fighters corners, which is don't doubt you for 1 millisecond, then he's well known in pro boxing circles which is the only place that matters. Is he the dude from NY who has an after-school type program. Don't remember the name, but has to do with giving kids smg to do for absolutely free of charge.

    All he demands is you become a better and trusted kid to do his best to keep kids off the streets. Just some guidance for that difficult place in the US. Now I'm not sure if it was Philly or NY.

    Any man that takes his own type to help others, not expecting any returns, has my admiration. Those types are what this world really needs moving forward.

    If him, pretty sure he's missing 1 and a half fingers on his left hand, good solid move. He should be getting his pick of putang nightly, for nadda !!!

    iv worn rivals. they are good bang for your buck.. but i swear by winnings iv got 14oz velcro up winnings and i love them. recently went to japan and trained at ohashi, wore these winning "bag gloves" which look pretty **** but they go SOOOO wel. alot smaller so i felt really sharp with them and offered incredible protection

    They ok. I have a new pair leftover as usually you need an extra pair for championship fights and I noticed they kinda peel easy. The cuffing around wrist area thin as well as padding. If you're a puncher Im sure you'll like them, tho not as good as reyes quality wise. Grants are the best imo. Great quality, great cuffing, great padding, tho not as much as Winning, but Winning is too much padding for a fight. Grants are just perfect, reason why Canelo, Mayweather, Ggg, etc wear them.
