    I don't use WhatsApp. Some scammers targeted me through there for some serious harassment, so I avoid it like the plague. I haven't ordered through Mercado Libre, just checked prices through there since Campeon said it was one of their primary distributors. Nah, mine are the Eizo Classic Pro...

    Well you're right that I was thinking the more expensive third party sites. Even like mercado libre's $175 and grupo hamd's $135 for the Casanovas I like (anything under $100 for those gloves on those sites is no longer an active link). I don't mind Edgar so much, the first pair of custom New...

    Final verdict on the Eizos is that they are really just glorified RDX gloves. Definitely not worth the money. Trying to return them as I type this. Finally got around to looking up MK1 and HNM. Neither are my cup of tea appearance-wise, design-wise they seem kinda gimmicky (especially the HNM)...

    Changed my mind on the New Sportings. Wife wasn't able to get the gift she originally wanted to get me for Christmas, so I guess it works out. I know i have a problem. 😅 But, for a San Antonio Spurs fan, these were impossible to pass up.

    Yeah, he didn’t like any of the prices on Edgar’s site for anything. But he also thinks you can still get Winnings in the States for under $300 (he and his guys constantly fall for fakes). Thinks you can still get new Reyes for $150. Thinks you can get other Mexican brands in Mexico for under...

    Yeah, sorry I think I realize where you were coming from now, my bad if it was an overreaction. New Sporting definitely worth another look. A coach who visits frequently from another gym (and was my close friend's trainer before they had a falling out) has been giving me shit about my Bayonetas...

    Is JC PACHECO BOXING GLOVES STILL AROUND

    Who's review? His facebook's been dead since 2016. Same meta account has an Instagram that looks completely blank. Juan Torres Medina (of Boxeo TM) was the guy to talk to in order to actually get JC Pacheco gear back when the initial controversy went down. Some threads...

    Is JC PACHECO BOXING GLOVES STILL AROUND

    JC Pacheco scammed our head coach. A lot of people got scammed. You sure you want in on that?

    What to expect from Casanova gloves

    I have a pair of the welted seam necallis in black from 2020. My heavybag has some black marks and no idea how they got there. Now you have me worried.

    Got some new BoxeoTMs. Juan is really cooking. I don't think these are actually PULAT, but the padding feels great and should be good for sparring when they are broken in. Tiny bit wider than I'd prefer, but not an issue - the other plusses more than make up for it and man are they beautiful.

    I just asked Edgar about this and he told me he's used different manufacturers at different times. He also said he provides the designs and the materials for the craftsmen to use - so even if it's a New Sporting craftsman, it's not a rebadged New Sporting glove. The inside of my cuff looks...

    Not sure how I feel about these. I only played with them for a little bit. Not a review, but some random thoughts: The only thing aspect of these that reminds me of Winning is the shape. The leather, liner, and materials feels a bit like standard Title gloves. The striking surface, a bit like...

    For real. My New Sporting 16oz hybrids weighed 20oz each. These are very close to 16. 2nd workout in the books with these and they make me feel dangerous. I definitely owe Rival another shot. Only pair I have from them are RB20 Elite Bag gloves with the Ergo Strap that I got on fire sale...

    New toys. Can't wait to use them. If I had to compare them to anything, it would be Grants, but more snug and better padding (than their old latex).

    I'm more likely to roll my wrist than to hurt my knuckles, regardless of the padding type. Too much wrist flexion in a glove is a big no-no for me. I wouldn't say lace up Winnings are the worst at this or necessarily bad, just not as good as I prefer. I don't think any case for wrist support...

    My suspicion for my old pair was that the inner most layer of memory foam wasn't positioned correctly. The longer the workouts went, the more hand pain I felt. The wrist support was supbar compared to what I'm used to and the thumb position was not comfortable. Again, I was willing to spend...

    Mine were definitely more like your gloves on the right, but I don't remember the black outline on the numbers (my pair was black - I can check this weekend). It was definitely hyperbole in response to being accused of preferring socialism. See, price gouging may be in unregulated capitalism...

    I'd ordered from him before. Have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars with him. Directed people to his site since 2008. Thought we had a good rapport. Messaged him asking about backorder times. Told him i saw really long backorder times on other sites like WJapan and I wanted to know if the...

    Some how i managed to piss off Kazumichi at Winning USA. He no longer responds to me. So this helps a lot. I'm on the verge of giving up altogether on Winning though. Just not worth the hassle. UPDATE: Winning USA got back to me and accused me of some ish I didn't even say. I tried...

    UMA fightgear??

    They finally asked for my shipping info today. Fingers crossed that this will finally get resolved. I'll be removing negative reviews if they actually show up.
