So here are my keepers...well most of them anyways. Thinned out the collection and parted with a lot of gloves I either wasn't feeling or didn't use. Most of the gloves in the photo have anywhere from 200-500+ rounds each (bags, pads, and sparring combined) logged in over the years (except for the R2C's, Boosters, TB's and last UMA's). The R2C's (<50rnds) and Booster's (New) are next on the to-go list. Hayabusa's new Glory gloves might be on the list to add though.

Loving those Boosters!!!! Still need to grab a pair!!!
I love your top boxers and UMAs. How do you like your R2C? Those are the Mexican style, right?[/URL][/IMG]

Shoot me a pm if you're interested in the Boosters. To be honest, they weren't what I was expecting profile wise. Other than that, the craftsmanship is on par with my Fairtex gloves. And the leather they use, although not as thick as Fairtex, is the smoothest, most even, unblemished piece of hide I've ever seen used on a pair of gloves. I'm no leather expert but I'm comparing the finished leather to all the gloves I've owned--customs as well.

Yes they are the Mexican style. They're ok. Leather is soft and supple, craftsmanship is ok, and the padding is ok--and this is where I have a problem with them. The padding is just too darn soft. Even with the gel-tech over the knuckles, you're bottoming out at a little more that 50% power. I love me some soft foam and being able to feel my knuckles land from time to time, but these bottomed out brand new with no break in. I can't imagine what they would've turned into after going a couple hundred rounds in them, which is why I stopped using them before 50 rounds. The foam in the triple cuff and palm side was a little too soft and underfilled for my liking as well.
Been training (MT) a bit over a year now. Finally started to invest in some higher quality gear. My previous Title gloves I had were hurting my wrist, and started to smell. Had some hand me down focus mitts. New focus mitts arrived today! Can't help but buy Fairtex gear, need to branch out and try different brands.

Missing is a pair of Red and Grey Powerlocks and pair of Triumph United Deathstars. I'm an addict for sure...

My gym is finally finished so I decided to post pics of the gym and a new family picture. Some stuff is missing, mainly a classics cup, classics hybrids and some Pacheco lace ups. Over all I'm happy
I built the mounts for the mitts and the Reyes headgear.
Awesome collection, few real nice things in there the Reyes focus mitts look great.
New gloves! BGV14 16 oz.
Here are my initial impressions:
Feel very light, weighed in at 14.2oz (R), 14.1 (L); BGV1s weighed in at ~17oz
Curved thumb feels better than BGV1, but could use slight more curve
Syntax leather feels thin at some areas, pad of thumb and lower palm
Wrist closure likes to stay flat, vs rounded and contoured to the wrist
Hand compartment is tighter than BGV1s
Finger length feels similar to BGV1
Wrist and palm padding is soft, almost feels non existent
Despite the long cuff it feels like it won't be a problem clinching
Its nice to have a grip bar again
Craftsmanship is top notch, no loose threading found on initial inspection
Feel more compact than BGV1
Padding feels good, rigid and holds shape, yet not so hard it would hurt when hit.
Thanks. It's been a while since I've taken a picture of my gear so a fair amount of it has changed.

Need to pick myself up some focus mitts, Winning padded ones are nice, however looking for something sleeker.
