I might be wrong. But didn't Dan Mosby died?

I saw a pair on ebay a few weeks ago. They went for over $200.00.

Flores gloves are like my white whale.
Tried to get them a few times on ebay but never won the auction.
Don't want to pay upwards of 200 for them regardless.

Anybody have any?
Are they old fashioned gloves like Shevlin or do they have more of a modern feel?
From the pictures, they look very much like Shevlins with maybe a more modern inner cuff.
I like my Shevlins but I'm definitely not looking for another old fashioned style glove, especially in a lace up.

Old school like Shevlins - I wouldn't use them, they are more a collectors item.

Flores are actual old school gloves, where Shevlins are new old school gloves.

I just lost a close bidding war in the last 10 seconds on those. I'm partly relieved that I saved myself 300 bucks, but I'm also sad I came so close to owning a pair of Flores.

I could have easily sold a few pieces of my gear to buy them but I told myself I wouldn't get involved. I stuck to my guns.

You, sell gear? I tried to buy your Grants, lol.

Therein lies the problem. I would have told myself I would sell something to buy the Flores gloves, but in reality, I would have just bought the gloves and not sold anything.

You need to open a museum on boxing/fighting gear, or make a coffee table book on gear (or whatever you call those giant books).

What I need is help. After all the smack I was talking, I went ahead and bought a pair.

10oz. fight gloves in grey. For those who don't know, Bill Beaulieu had a good relationship with the Dan Mosby who was the grandson of Ray Flores and was the last person to make Flores brand gloves. I guess Bill commissioned Dan to make gloves for him with his own label.

Those look sweet, my Shevlins are going to be grey as well. Also, is that the same guy as BillBoxing?
