Wow, very thorough review, good job!
BTW are you/were you a Biology major, because that could be the first glove review I've read with the words dorsal, ventral, ulnar, and radial in it

The gloves are made in Pakistan and I'm ery pleased with it's quality. The reference is to Hooksett, NH where I live. I don't believe I EVER stated Mande in the USA, as most knowledgable boxing glove enthutisest know that no gloves are made in the US. Sorry.

bill just wondering why are there so many variations in prices for your gloves? Everyone gets a different price of gloves of the same look,size and style.

Hmmm.....like I said , u don't out and say "Made in the US" but it is implied.
I dunno what you mean by "glove enthusiasts".
You mean ppl who train ?

Maybe so but those companies don't put American / Mexican cities on there implying its local made.

After all , iPhones may be made in China but it don't say Paolo Alto on there.
Your reason for putting Hookset ; Wherever is pretty strange.

Dishonest practices are dishonest practices.

I think he means that typically when someone wants a custom glove, they are normally informed on what they want, and what is out there; however, I have never seen a Pakistani made glove stamped with a North American city //.=and province/state before. Typically that indicates where the glove is made, like all the Mexican gloves say, "Hencho En Mexico", or, "Made in Thailand"....

So... yes, informed buyers should know, but yes it is a little misleading.

^ this.

As for informed buyers , who informs them ?
Nowhere on Billboxing's non-existent site does it say that.
All u get is "Hookset ; Nebraska" which 99.99% of the time means "Made in...."

Add in all the "special" pricing and wack job proprietors and it isn't a company I'd want anything to do with.

But ppl always be looking for non-existing savings on things , so I guess they'll be in business for a few years.
