Real or Fake 10oz Grant Boxing Gloves

[machado454]

Hello Bros, I need a little help from you all...I doubted if the gloves on the pictures are real or fake. There is an extra layer of hard padding on the backhand-on the inside of the glove. Such layer is nonexistent on the left... The gloves are from the older batch. Both labels-Hecho en Mexico and Warning-are present. The lining is not canvas, but nylon...

The left/right hand glove difference is weird.

 

[hangulmalmotayo]

Yeah, they kind of look off.

Are they true to weight?

 

[machado454]

Yes, they are both 10 oz exactly

Just be careful. There's a guy on eBay who has some Grant fight gloves and has them 're-padded' and lined to make them look newer.

He usually does state this in his description though.

Edit: Germany based.

I bought them from UK based lady, and at first I wanted to return them, but now I'll give them a try and make a review. The seller told me that they are used only for pads.

 

[Minowafanatic]

Did she say where she got them from?

 

[machado454]

In fact, no...

 

[makedansure]

guaranteed, 100 percent real.

also, the padding thing. I've seen pairs of fight gloves, where the person using is very one hand-heavy - one glove looks and feels completely different. Fight gloves are not meant to last forever, remember. Not sure if these Grants have a "round rating", but these things definitely deteriorate. That extra layer of padding may have just disappeared.

CDBM, what do you mean "re-padded"? That sounds like a really hard thing to do, unless its a complete shit job.

that is very interesting. It says 100% original, but the re-padding bit sort of takes that away.

 

[hangulmalmotayo]

It also says 100% genuine and 100% accurate.

If you added them all together, that would be 300%. That's pretty good.

I asked the German guy who did the job, he answered me that a cobbler did the job. The lady cobbler was Daido Juku fighter and she knew her job well...

Hey Bro,

Just to let you know that here in México I can find a guy who repair Grants

well I feel like a jerk. Cobblers are excellent at repairing boxing gloves, I've heard many stories. but fixing padding is incredible.
