What's with the gold blob near the right thumb?

Probably spilled paint, maybe they get it removed before it was sent out.

You mean hopefully they get it removed. For the type of money people spend on custom gloves, there shouldn't be large drops of stray paint on 'em.
Piggybacking off that, it looks like there are several places on the webs where the screen print didn't take too well.

No, cheap shot is a good dude. To be honest cheap is pointing out things that are 100% legit. I love Muhammad's work. I'm sure he will fix it no problem.
But if it were me I wouldn't want stray gold splatters on my gloves I dropped $150+ on, that's all CS is saying

Hi Strato,
No issue with CS pointing out legit stuff. Maybe you did not have a chance to read the entire thread.
My issue with this fella is his righteous tone and the fact that I never see him talking about his own shit. Only critisizes others or their stuff.

Eh, what? I own Bill stuff, I like Bill stuff, and Topboxer does very solid work.
As a totally unrelated aside, the QC on this pair of gloves is sub par. Pointing out some pretty obvious flaws in expensive custom gear isn't self righteous, it's objective. If it were a pair of Ringside gloves with a similar flaw, people would have a field day calling out Dennis. A pair of Winnings with a glob of stray paint would have people flaming Mitani.
I've talked plenty about my own gear, but I don't let personal preference or personal relationships influence my opinion on things. This one pair of gloves (not all Bill and TB gear) have a few QC issues that would leave me pretty disappointed if they weren't addressed before showing up on my door.

Quote from this very thread of me praising the mitts I have.
Still stand by this quote, still see issues with the gold paint and shoddy screen print. Don't be a fanboy.

Nah man, CS just doesn't post often but when he does he has really good things to say in most cases. Give him a chance Gus he really is a good dude.
I know what you meant CS, just keep on posting bro.
Gus, you got any new stuff coming in soon btw?

It makes my blood boil when legitimate, well-articulated criticism is dismissed as 'hating'. I have no patience for the term 'hater' in a conversation with another adult. Do your thang, Cheap Shot!

even if he did have something negative to say, so what. not everyone has to agree on everything. tbh, some of the best conversation i've had on forums had to do with people and subjects that people didn't agree on. if i were some lurker browsing this thread and saw nothing but love going out to topboxer and bill, and saw a picture with shitty qc issues on it and not a single person mentioned it, i would dismiss beaulieu and topboxer as brands altogether, and never purchase from them, because it would look like everyone is a shill for the product.
if the goal is to project their brand as being top flight, posting pictures with such obvious flaws on it doesn't expose the brand as top flight.
as a consumer, i read all of the reviews, even the bad ones. when i read a bad review i do not automatically dismiss a product, but i will be more cautious before entering into a purchase.

It is all good, man.
I have just seen one too many times here everyone jump into the wagon to criticize one person. It escalates very quickly for no reason.
Anyway, I have a pair of 12oz ortho on croc/alien green and a pair of 16oz sparring lace up IMF coming soon from Top Boxer.
All the best

Bill's communication has been panned almost universally. His lack of tact is pretty constant, and his inability to quote correctly has been a point of frustration for many.
Certainly could have said it nicer, I'll give you that, but after a whole the guy needs to learn how to use the intrawebs.
That wasn't a fuck you to Bill, but a what the fuck Bill.

By putting the comma after fuck rather than after bill would have completely changed the tone of the post. When I first read it I thought it was a little crass, but then realized what you probably meant by it

and i really am thankful to CS for appreciation of my work in terms of his mitts.
all your input is highly appreciated...
i dont claim that my work is always 100 percent perfect there might be something wrong with some of my product once in a blue moon BUT i never abandon my customers after they pay and get their product...if something is wrong i am always there for you just shoot me an email and i will FIX it for you guys...i stand by my work and product as its not a giant manufacturing or company...its a very small unit and team who is striving to survive in this tough market and to keep our heads above water by providing quality items...every customer has our personal attention and every one is important to us.
