Hi Guys,

I allways say than all depends on what you prefer, my choice for sparr it is in the next order: Zepol, Campeon, Reyes al in 16 ounces

for heavy bag and mitts: Boxeo, Zepol in 10 ounces.

But that is my taste.

About Mexican pro-boxers are a lot of them that use Zepol and Boxeo (Terrible Morales use Boxeo for sparr), many of that pro-boxers are not recognized outside M
 
No your english is fine...and really your patience is even finer because i've given you hell with all the questions i've been asking you lately and forum comments (probably stupid questions) i've been asking here also haha.

Zepol in 10oz on the bag though? Really you do this with just normal handwraps or do you add like gauze or winning ng-2 knuckle guards also...maybe you're hands are strong and the protection isn't that bad for you? More of your experiences is useful info because you really know these gloves inside and out...I'd love to visit a mexican boxing gym one day too btw...if I ever come down...I'll message!

I prefer Boxeos and Zepol for heavy bag because they allow you to bend the wrist to hit the heavybag using the right technic, in M
 
I bought some ringside knucleguards but mostly use them with my 18oz zepols. the reason is i like trowing realistic punches when sparring. not 100% but hard enogh to make some good contact. for pad work i have 10oz zepol so i can focus on hand speed and technique

And you still find they are not very protective? :eek: dang...

@deathstriker but i think since you wear 16oz from what i recall its not really a big deal whether you have knuckle guards...

@juanfco3 do you train on the bag or just padwork with the 10oz zepol? *just saw your pm's, maybe you answered this there.
 
@Technoir haha that was awesome...el miniatura!

@Minowa that's really interesting stuff...i wish I could try them all on and find out what type of guy i am... I think like someone pm'd me earlier...its a case of I may just have to try and if it doesn't work out...although it is 120 down the drain...i learned something and can look elsewhere...whereas if they work...that's great...my problem still lies in the fact that 120 isn't small for me...maybe i'm picky!
 
not really, you can probobly sell them and recover most of your money. I'm sure that if it didn't have my name on them i could sell my copper zepols and recover most of the money i paid for them
 
Selling online is something I need to get into...theres a lot of stuff (not boxing related) that I need to get rid of that I have never worn...especially when it comes to shoes and hats...one day I'll read up how not to get screwed by a buyer on ebay or accidentally break the law and start an account :D
 
telling you man just give zepols a shot you wont be disapointed. I would go for a 12oz laceups for a good bag and pad glove and get some hook and loop converters.
 
Yeah at the moment i'm leaning towards reyes since its more popular/tested with zepol as a close second over the other brands like ringsides and the "new generation" mainstream stuff right now...I'm waiting for death and usc to do reviews on their zepol gloves though before deciding...just doing my homework and such
 
I always keep an eye out for what good equipment other people are using, that way you can borrow and test! Shouldnt be too hard to find someone with Reyes, or at least if you venture to more than one gym it shouldnt, though I guess if you're unlucky you could be waiting awhile
 
Yeah pretty much at my gym...since the only pro left (who wore only ringside and rival)...I'm kind of the only one who trains seriously whereas most of the guys use it for aerobic workouts or something weird like that. So no...nobody brings their own equipment except for me...they all use old rival gloves the coach brings to the gym...I ended up buying my own rival gloves because the concept of sharing and mixing every session was gross to me...some guys don't even bring wraps or know how to wrap their own hands...our gym is kind of struggling right now for lack of members...which sucks...but its landed me a job after only attending this new gym (old gym shut down since not enough funding) for less than 3 or 4 months as the second head coach behind the owner of the gym :D...I'm in a really small town and really boxing is unknown around these parts...I can confidently say nobody knows what the Winning brand is in this town or gives a crap about what gloves they are wearing, coaches included. Sherdog should come do a hostile takeover of my city...theres definitely enough room for new blood here.

Edit* Actually there is another gym on the other side of town but its way too far away from where I live and if I go there I'll be out of a job...so...yeah...however that other gym I think has more members is pretty much in a basement where the ground they train on is carpet lol...

I sold my gold Zepols and Pacheco headgear for about the same price I purchased them for on ebay. Groin guards are hard to sell, no one wants to shell out the $$$ to project the family jewels.
