Anybody else annoyed by this "fake leather" rubbish about Winning? It's already like Justin Bieber's songs. Winning gloves are not fake leather except so called Amateur gloves and bag gloves. But nobody buys these Amateur gloves/ bag gloves.
wait...$300 for gloves made of fake leather and with exposed velcro?!
Which gloves are you referring to? I'm fairly sure the winning regulars are real leather...its the soft type that are fake...and I'm going for lace ups...not velcro when the time comes...grant is also leather...and im not looking at the hook and loop ones...lace up will be my next type for sure.
Materials-
Winning uses an artificial leather which is soft to the touch and lacks the normally strong smell of other leathers. It’s apparent immediately that the quality of the material is superb, the gloves appearance is immaculate (especially in white).
the amateur gloves are real leather
the soft-type gloves are artificial leather as well as the bag mitts, headgear, cups, body protectors and some of the focus mitts
That's just a typothis is quoted from the original post about the exact gloves in this thread. artificial means fake.
Product Description: Velcro Gloves (For Training)
Just got a Velcro Winning Glove off ebay in the mail today, the inner wrist padding is completely non-existant. I would get a Lace up and hook and loop converter/elastic laces if I were you.
What oz. weight did you get?
This is from a 12oz glove.
If you mean those black "Brown Sugar" gloves sold on ebay with blue lace up gloves, they (those black) are 10 oz. actually - just put them on a scale But anyway, the wrist support pretty sucks with any of the Winning velcro.
Yeah those were the ones, I got a great deal on it so I had to get both. Gonna keep the black ones for class drills because I need a below 16oz glove and I'm selling off the blue ones now. Everyone is sending me offers but they are kinda low:/
Dunno why he wants 18oz, but would a 16oz winnings be better than a 18oz other glove?
Yes.
Thanks man, you've saved me $50 and closet space.
No worries mate, if pro heavyweights can use 16oz Winning I'm sure your sparring partners will appreciate it too.
Don't forget though, the Winning gloves have "16oz" written on the palm, just in case your coach sees it.
