Post Your Gloves/Gear

Yeah, Juan said he had issues with NS and that they "stole" his customers somehow.

I've not seen a pair of those ones on eBay in person yet so I don't know. I will receive the stock 16oz ones in a month or two though just for my own use, along with some custom 12oz velcro ones. Maryna Moroz the UFC fighter has some custom 10 or 12oz velcro ones she seems to use for light sparring (just going off instagram photos). Muhammad thinks that the padding is very very soft, and that they'd be extra safe for sparring, and too soft for bagwork. The padding is apparently like how Shevlins were towards the end of that brand's life, but denser. So I am expecting that they will probably feel quite unique compared to what else is on offer but they subsequently won't be to everyone's liking. This reminds me that although it says on the listing (e.g I wrote) the pattern is based on Flores gloves, I think that is maybe incorrect and will be changed, and the "Rocky Marciano" part of the name will probably get dropped.



Are you saying that based on the photo gallery that I posted earlier, or some others photos that you've seen?

I got some pictures from Juan aswell. I ordered some Classics from him last week. and he showed me his new model. and i thought they looked very very similar to Adams.

Maryna Moroz the UFC fighter has some custom 10oz lace-up ones she seems to use for light sparring (just going off her instagram photos). Muhammad thinks that the padding is very very soft, and that they'd be extra safe for sparring, and too soft for bagwork. The padding is apparently like how Shevlins were towards the end of that brand's life, but denser, so it's with some kind of fiber filling that's an animal-hair substitute, because animal hair is very expensive. So I am expecting that they will probably feel quite unique compared to what else is on offer (as how many training gloves get sold today which use anything like animal hair in them? those Golomb ones and DiNardo ones are the only thing that comes to my mind) but they subsequently won't be to everyone's liking. This reminds me that although it says on the listing (e.g I wrote) the pattern is based on Flores gloves, I think that is maybe incorrect and will be changed, and the "Rocky Marciano" part of the name will probably get dropped.

Also with those Wonder Woman gloves, the images that are on the eBay listing show a metallic red, but the images need to get updated. It's now just a regular coloured red instead of metallic red because the metallic red would tarnish too fast. If you look on youtube, someone called Sarah Gemini has a review of them up which shows the gloves with the regular red they now have (although they can still be made with metallic red if requested without paying extra but it's no longer the standard)

Yeah you can just about expect anything from them. People like that have their ways, maybe it was done locally or maybe they linked his online clients somehow.

Great gloves... but do you actually use them man? The Winnings still have the tag on them and the Reyes look brand new.

Not hassling you man, just curious. There are times when I find it hard to bring myself to use my Winnings and Reyes because I don't want them to deteriorate...

Where in the world are you? The US?

Cheapest reliable way to get Fairtex is usually ordering from a distributor in Thailand like Muay-Thai Fighting or some other store based there, but even then I'd think 80USD would be hard to beat, besides just waiting for an eBay auction to come up. I know Title sell Fairtex and Title sometimes have very good sales on too.

I just had a look through Adams Boxing's instagram at different pictures of their gloves. I think you could be right there about them being the same supplier. That would also mean that these gloves are quite a bit cheaper through Juan than they are through Adams Boxing.
 
Here are mine

what's your opinion on the Ringsides?

surprised by how compact the New Sporting are
Click to expand...
The ringsides are better than I thought they would be. I got them for next to nothing (from a pro) the leather wasn't great inside the cuffs were he had taped them (they are Velcro) but the padding was in great condition as hardly been used.

I have been using them a fair bit for my classes, we do a lot of drills, and have to take them on and off. I also done a little sparing in them they are softer than Reyes, similar to the rival sparing gloves I would say.

As for the New Sporting yes they are very compact and hence pretty hard I don't feel comfortable sparing in them at my current club so I only used them once and pretty much saving them for now.

Man they look nice ! How you compare them with the Top Boxer ones ?
Click to expand...
They're so different that they are almost not worth comparing. But I can give a quick +/- for the NS after I finally used them for a bag session last night.

+ves:
- Colours are awesome. The glove looks fantastic. The green is a bit darker than I requested but I guess it's just the closest match they had. I am very hapy with this regardless. The gold piping is also very nice.
- The straight thumb is VERY comfortable, it suits my natural hand position(better than TB in this respect)
- The leather is very thick, looks very durable
- The second grip bar under the fingertips is a nice addition

-ves:
- 360 strap is a pain in the ass. The gloves both weigh around 16.5oz. I imagine if they just used a normal 180 or a hybrid closure that the gloves would be 15ish ozs. I requested a hybrid closure when I bought it, but was told that they cannot do it with this 2B padding (despite there being examples on instagram.)
- Overall craftsmanship is 'meh.' Loose stitches on the inside, badly cut piping. The stitching veering off towards the thumb for no reason instead of remaining in the centre, I looked on their page and they seem to do this on some models and not on others.
- Welted seams are messy. In some places it is non existent and in some places it looks like they have made mistakes (can provide photos of this)
- Loose leather on the top of the glove, the padding definitely does not fill out the glove. It really looks like padding and glove were not made for each other. It's very noticeable when a fist is made
- The gloves are a bit dissimilar in terms of cut, size, padding etc. Even the angle on the side of the glove is different between the 2 of them
- For being 'work of artisanal quality,' the consistency in one set of gloves is non-existent

Observations:
- The wrist is slim but the hand pocket is big. I have above average hands, so the size internally is not a problem. There is a definite gap between knuckle and padding but this gaps closes nicely when a fist is made and I have reasonable contact between knuckle and padding when landing a punch.
- Leather is very stiff, these will take time to break in. In fact, it is a little difficult to maintain a fist position for a long time without getting tired, but I assume this will get better over time.
- Longer cuff than TB (not bad or worse)

Gloves overall: 6/10
They are ok

NS experience: 2/10
Promised date: 1st March
Actual date: 4th April
Horrible customer experience
Lies, false promises, bad treatment and defensiveness when asked about their gloves. Some choice moments:
- Not knowing that 1st March came after February 28th
- 5 weeks after payment telling me they can't make that kind of closure (despite evidence to the contrary)
- Had to go to Guadalajara for business, send the gloves on Tuesday
- Arrived at night, will send photos the next day
- Sends pictures of green leather
- Social media was broken
- Sewing machine broken (sends picture of green leather again)
- Wrong label
- Says parcel people only come on certain days
- When I ask about the stitching, gets very defensive. I ask about the piping, gets very defensive.
- Send a picture of a DHL office but doesn't send the gloves

Sorry for the rant.
