    **** technique :deal

    I've always thought both boxers should wear the same gloves. Different brands have different feel, and not just on your hands, but your face too. Some gloves feel like your getting hit by brick. Like AA wearing adidas and Khan Reebok Maidana fight aside), sure the difference would be fractional, but everything should be as equal as possible imo, especially the things that will hit you...

    Grants are because they have the most padding. The BBE's seem to not have the balance right. I don't know any boxers that like them over the Grants/Everlasts/Cleto's.

    Agreed. I can't appreciate the fighters work with them on. Hatton's shows are quite exciting because they wear Cleto's and Warren's as well.

    Booth's comment about BBE's when at weigh in for Molitor said it all when he put Grants on like a kid at Christmas.

    They were 'Winning' gloves. Morales put a clause in the contract to prevent Manny wearing Cleto's I think.

    They say Winning gloves are almost like pillows on your hands. I know Mayweather wore them for a few fights because of his brittle hands. Them and BBE must be the softest out their.

    Nothing wrong with Everlast. Solid all-round glove really. They're not hugely padded like a Grant and maybe not quite as hard as Reyes. They'd probably be my ideal glove if we had a rule where gloves were uniform.
