Yea, thought about that but didn't think they would message me back unless I was ordering from them.

Juan found a similar font called "Brush Script MT" in case anyone's interested :)

Haha! They are beautiful. Just ordered a pair of Zepols like this from Juan only yellow where the grants are blue and black where the grants are white :)

post a review when you get them, I am going to be ordering some Zepols off of Juan at some point too. Not sure of color scheme yet though, Grant posted some sick Blue/Orange gloves a few weeks ago, thinking about doing that (Gator Fan)
 
I ordered a pair of Zepols myself! I'm very eager to get them.

Yessir, will definitely do so once I've given them some use. Do the Zepols in your avatar not belong to you? I saw some purple, black and white ones that were beautiful .

Post some pictures if you can when you get them, would love to see that.

Not sure if someone already posted these but found them on Zepol's facebook page. So sexy!

I'll await both your reviews...very curious here...what sizes were your orders on the gloves? 10, 12, 14, 16oz? And what purpose will you use them for?
 
Does anybody think Zepol is better than Reyes? and how the better glove compares to Bill's gloves?

I just got a pair of 16oz Zepols, and I own Reyes in 12, 14, and 16oz. I can tell you that Reyes gloves are of much higher quality than Zepol gloves without a doubt. I really like my Zepols though, they're sharp looking and comfortable. With that said, if you're comparing the two, Reyes wins every time.

I also want to add that working with Juan was a fantastic experience. I've honestly never had better customer service in my life. He's a great man and an absolute asset to the community. I have zero regrets and I fully expect to do a lot more business with him in the future.

I wish they were mine, thinking of going with a similar combo though. I love them, so I put them for my avatar.

are Reyes really too hard for sparring???? That is my concern, as I need some new sparring gloves and wanted Zepols
 
The way I've been starting to think of it...if Zepol was better...we'd see the pros using zepol in the ring...not cleto reyes..even JMM in all his training vids...he's using cleto reyes...not zepol...granted JMM is sponsored by CR i believe
 
Why do you think Reyes sponsor JMM?

Reyes are going to be better quality but everyone likes different things. There are a lot of relatively cheap gloves that I'd much prefer using over Cletos for a variety of reasons

they're not really too hard, the padding is actually very soft. The problem is your knuckles go through them a little bit, so they're not the nicest option but whatever, they're not all that bad

Well my point was to show hey...Marquez, barrera, morales, these guys are mexican legends and they all seem to pick Reyes...i'm not seeing Zepol for any of these guys..and I'd trust that if they like certain gloves...that there is a reason for it that must be legitimate and intelligent because they are for real fighters...you're not going to get sponsored by a company whose products you don't like (although I'm curious about Andre Ward with everlast :icon_lol:) so for the mexican legends to pick reyes over the other brands...i'm starting to think there may be some advantages to it because I would highly doubt that they never tried the other gloves. Morales is a bit of an anomaly since i do see him train in some other brands...but as far as I know...reyes is his main squeeze also...considering he's in your picture...you'd probably know better than me whether this is a valid claim to make.

Edit* On a side note...I've been reading reyes reviews...and people have been saying if you have small hands...don't get this size...if you have big hands...don't get this size...what are you guys using as the measuring stick for big hands? I've been assuming if I fight into 12oz Rivals that I'll fit 12oz reyes or even 10oz or something...however by short 5'7 people standards...I have big hands...roughly the same size of an average 6'2/6'3 person...but I don't really know how i can measure as "big" hand or not...it seems too vague a description.

Morales trains and fights in Winning mostly. Also seen him use Boxeo in a vid Juan posted. He probably has used Reyes though too

Reyes are great gloves. They have their downsides and aren't for everyone, though. Advantage = best made, great leather, great stitching and comfortable gloves.

On the other hand, some people find the thumb really stiff. More of a puncher's glove, so they've good knuckle placement and you can make a great fist in them, but they're not very protective. For those two reasons Id pick a lot of much more poorly made gloves over them. 16oz's hand compartment is too wide for mine as well, though that's not a problem at smaller weights as there's quite a difference between 14oz and 16oz Reyes.
 
Thanks...there is so much disagreement and issues with the concept of protection in the mexican gloves that I think I may just stay away from these kinds of gloves in the end considering how much they cost and the potential that they will hurt my hands more than basic rivals do in the end. Do you wear knuckleguards like JMM though Minow? I think he tries to make up for the protection with those.
