Happy new Year y´all!
Those are my recent purchases!
I´m usually hunting for pre-used mexican Gloves on eBay since buying new ones, is kinda expensive over here in Germany!
CAMPEON 14oz, Velcro:
Bought them from PRO AM Boxing on a very good deal!
I was just unlucky that our incompetent customs cut the striking surface while checking the package.
Scared that the cut wont survive heavy use of the glove, I´ve only used it like 2-3 times very lightly in training so far.
Quality is alright, not great.
Craftmanship is alright, not great.
But... when I started looking into mexican gloves, this was exactly what i was looking for.
A rough and tough workhorse glove, that could been used for years and years to come.
Ironically I´m not using them at all because of german customs
BRYANT BOXING Imperial 14oz, Lace-Ups:
Got these on eBay for relatively cheap.
I used them only twice so far, but i absolutely love them!
They feel much superior to the campeons in terms of craftmanship and quality!
They feel like they were made for my hands lol
I love the color way, I love the company, I love Mr. Bryant who is a really good dude!
CLETO REYES 16oz, Lace-Ups:
Got these on eBay as well for suuuuper cheap!
Seller claimed these were used by a pro, who taped off the logo, because of sposorship issues.
Thats why the logo looks that shitty.
I didnt care and shot my shot!
the Padding is still intact and the gloves feel super nice in terms of quality!
The leather is top notch imo.
These gloves are gonna be what the Campeon were supposed to be -> my main workhorse training glove.
Since they already look "shitty" I dont have a problem absolutely wrecking them in training, which is what I wanted.
Sometimes i just cant help myself, but spare gloves that look "too beautiful" lol
I´ve got tiny hands, so these gloves feel huge for me.
Being relatively heavy with tiny hands is a horrible combination when buying boxing gloves.
I´m just using longer handwraps with knuckle guards when using the cletos and its alright.
Thats it... next up: Salvador Training Gloves!
I just need to convince my wife that I really really need yet another pair of boxing gloves lol
