i bought my grants boxingdepot like 2 weeks ago and they are the new colors
i called ringside,boxing depot, and grantboxing. they all assured me that there is no difference. these 3 sites have the same parent company, and they all distribute from the address. also, the distribution from the website grant boxing is ringside. if you email a question to grantboxing, you will receive an answer from ringside. so when you call grantboxing or email them, you are talking to someone from ringside. so what made you think grantboxing has higher quality versions than other sites? please let me know as i am about to get some grants myself
Ringside didn't have the pictures up, now they do. Before they had some other Grant gloves on their site, the wrist was totally different. Now it's the same glove you see @ Grantboxing.
And Boxingdepot is still selling the older version of the gloves, they're way different.
Feel free to purchase the Ringside Grants, you can still send them back if they're not the Grants pictured on their site but i'm pretty sure it's the same glove.

Didn't you say you are looking into buying Grant gloves? And now you already bought them 2 weeks ago? :icon_confi bought my grants boxingdepot like 2 weeks ago and they are the new colors
Take it with a grain of salt. Like i said, they still have the old Grants pictured and those Grants back then were 150 bucks on every website, even Grantboxing. The new Grants are more expensive. Not even Ringside lets them go for 150. And at Grantboxing they're 200. If they just "forgot" to update the pictures then i don't know how they didn't "forget" to update their prices.so the grant's from boxing depot for $150 are exactly the same as the $200 grants on ringside?
Thanks for clearing that up, i know some guys were wondering about that including myself. Let's see what happens with the price now but it'll probably go up as well if they haven't updated the site yet. They went up @ Grantboxing and @ Ringside as well. Hopefully not though.
That sucks man. 300 would be too much even for myself. :icon_neut
Winnings are great but personally i'm not a huge fan. To me they are too flat and wide, they are pretty big (but very light). So it's weird. They offer excellent protection however. You can't really feel your first when you punch though. Not sure if you want to spend 300 bucks on them unless you don't really have to worry about money. But if it's a birthday kind of thing where you would spend all your cash on a pair of gloves i'd say go for something else. Reyes maybe? Ringside IMF Tech?
Thanks. :icon_lol:
- I know but really the Winnings aren't worth more than the Grants. The smaller Winnings cost 200 bucks and that's what the Grants cost. That's what all the Winnings should cost. Suddenly you pay 300 for the bigger Winnings, totally overpriced. For no reason. They should just ask for 200 for all their gloves.
- They are sort of like the Reyes but flatter and a little wider. If you don't mind that then i'd say go for it there's nothing wrong with them except for the price and how wide they are but that doesn't make them bad some people prefer wider gloves.
- I don't think you have to worry about the durability of Winning gloves, the quality is excellent. I haven't done any studies of course so i can't tell for sure but i haven't really heard anybody complain about their gloves. Their headgear is made of fake leather i could see how that would not last long if you don't take care of it but the gloves should hold up just like the Reyes and Grant.
Top notch advice again dude, let me clarify a few points
- Money is not an option, it's just that the shipping costs I mentioned before mean even the IMF's would cost $200US. The only reason money became an issue with the Grant's is they are $300US but only $200 of that is glove price. Winnings might also cost me $300, but $280 of that is all glove. Know what I mean?
- In regards to the width factor, that's not a great concern. Many complain Reyes are too wide, but I find them a great fit. I recently gave my old 16's to a friend to use on his newly setup heavy bag. Hence the need for new gloves.
- Lastly, I rate protection pretty highly. I'm an amateur boxer who competes so it's nice to have the padding there for long sessions. My MAIN concern with Winning is durability, I don't want to drop $300 on gloves that won't last. That's fine for pros, but I can't justify it. I've looked around reviews and asked guys like ECS and the guy from ratethisgear, but no one has had them for more than a year so it's hard to judge their durability. Grant has good reviews in this regard, hence my interest.
Sorry for the long winded response, but you've provided some of the best information on gloves I've found on anywhere on the net, so I'm really interested in your opinion. :icon_chee
as far as durability is concerned.... winnings is top notch. that shit last forever. its synthetic leather but that shit got that asian technology!! im dead serious. once the padding breaks in.... these gloves are like pillows. they last for a long time.
