    Post Your Gloves/Gear

    The main two who makes a “Flores-style glove” should really stop, just sullying a legendary name. I know older guys who actually used Flores who bought these “Flores style gloves”, almost all comments are that the imitators are terrible. I don’t think I’ve heard a single reviewer/youtuber who...

    Gloves you like more then winnings?

    @Badoldman understood, yeah the point I was trying to make is that sparring in softer gloves (which of course, anyone in their right mind would prefer) can be bad because I feel like I've seen too many tough guys in the gym who walk through shots and even wear the whole taking-punches-machismo...

    Gloves you like more then winnings?

    @Minowafanatic yeah my understanding of Richard and Barric is that he started out using some American gloves as his template for his first gloves. I know that Flores, namely Dan's work, has influenced his latest creations. I cannot wait to get my hands on the more recent gloves, though the ones...

    @Badoldman what a blessing, I hope to have kids one day and teach them in the ring, whatever the hell it is I know anyways. I'm a big believer in different equipment/training for different times in your life. I trained kids for a while at a PAL, they hit eachother without fear and ate punches...

    Gloves you like more then winnings?

    before I begin, I want to say one thing. gloves are very important, but at the same time, they really aren't. most true boxers I know couldn't care any less what they use. it's the mentality of a fighter, and I guess it is not their job to care about what they use, and oftentimes, they use...

    @Badoldman really enjoyed reading your posts. the part about the "dream killer" made me laugh, we had a few of those at the gym I would go to before the pandemic. rushing to get to the gym an hour (at most) after work to get a quick workout in, end up talking the entire time...

    Vintage Boxing Gloves

    @joeboebeefy I'm a collector of old boxing gear. I have to tell you, it's a niche within a niche. the market for Everlast, Seyer, and a few others is quite high. Other lesser known brands can drum up interest as well. I would set a price, not auction, and see who finds you. it may take some...

    1 V 1 gloves

    @Vols1891 Eh, Kaz is not mean. He's got his communication style, which is definitely different than what you'd expect. Don't call him, just order on their new site. The stuff gets shipped directly from Japan. If it's in stock, it'll ship quickly. Kaz would rather you just email Winning USA if...

    Question/Advice regarding a Grant Warning I Got

    I've heard something similar on this before, that Grant has some sort of patent on the triple thumb. However, I am not sure of the validity of this claim by Grant. https://patents.justia.com/inventor/grant-elvis-phillips Also, I believe that I heard somewhere that Grant tried to do this with...

    Las Dos MM, not sure. I know that some version of the label still exists. If anyone’s interested, I’ve continued my postings on a social media app for posting such things @balksing...

    Winning CM-50 or Ringside Heritage Mitts?

    The heritage are huge. Somewhere in this forum, may have been deleted, i think i posted some comparison photos with the heritage mitts and the ringside holy grails, the ultimate classic panther mitts. I have seen and felt the Winning mitts. Pretty light, quality, but i have no idea in terms of...

    Winning CM-50 or Ringside Heritage Mitts?

    have used the heritage, have not used the cm-50s. the heritage are huge. air mitts are a bit unwieldy, and holdig mitts for heavies, bigger does not equal better. abel has some good tips for catching ggg's punches, basically the technique involves sort of redirecting the punches down, like...

    Modern fighters sometimes...

    also, fighters today are much too front footed, heads are centered. generally, defense is bad, but so is punching, countering. Lack of effective combinations, and then you have the "money" floyd impersonators. Yes, there are multiple styles, but much more less than there were before. there seems...

    Modern fighters sometimes...

    another thing that has contributed to a lot of this is the equipment. companies that didn't understand why certain equipment was made, businessmen coming in and "streamlining" and sending manufacturing overseas. Almost no one uses bag mitts anymore, which are vital in teaching you how to punch...

    Good way to wrap hands but still make a natural fist?

    Technique first, second, and third. and fourth. don't care how you look and don't try to move too fast. once you land through the center of that bag, and you feel it, the collision between you (the unstoppable) and the bag (semi-unmovable), you will know. that's all that matters. oh yeah, and...

    Good way to wrap hands but still make a natural fist?

    I've seen too many tutorials I disagree with. My rule is leave the palm open, below that line located near the middle of your hand. you want to create a little grip bar. just scrolling through youtube videos, skipping to the end product, this one seems okay: couple of things: - make sure your...

    1v1 Fight Gear

    I think I'm remembering correctly when I say that the mass order gloves were not USA made. The pro trainers above are made in the USA. I've had a pair of the Adidas made in USA gloves, and these new trainers do look better in most visual aspects. The shape of the Adidas ones I had were strange...
