Looks like it's a requirement to have a nice leather sofa if you want to posts gloves on this forum.
 
I personally am not interested in a pair of gloves unless there's a leather sofa backdrop. I know a lot of people feel the same way

yup,I took advantage of OSSs deal as well......um....is 8 shirts too many you think?:redface:
 
Been after the OSS shirts for ages....too good a deal to turn down!Plus Nick has been fantastic to deal with.
 
Nice Winning headgear. :cool:

Also nice collection @ Mungina. Cool stuff. I had the white Reyes headgear, great quality stuff. Also the red Fairtex velcro gloves look pretty awesome. Never seen those.
 
what are those pride style mma gloves you have in red? i cant make out the brand
 
Hybrid-X

I had a pair of them years ago. Hard as hell. Nowhere near the real PRIDE gloves, although it's pretty much the same design.
 
White fairtex I purchased from Elvisfan. At 18 oz's the padding is thick enough to prevent your knuckles from being felt by your sparring partner when going 100% and really safe at 80% sparring. The wrist support is real snug even without wraps. I hit bags/pads and spar with untied laces - I just keep them just tight enough to barely slip them on and off. So far the best gloves Ive owned p4p.

The red bgv6's 12 oz are my favourite bag gloves. Even though I prefer laces. The seperate flat padding Between the velcro strap and hand/knuckle padding gives some serious wrist support as do most thai style gloves but this particular model has a mexican style punchers glove feel - this combination is rare. Compact IS the keyword. Even having used 16 oz reyes with velcro strap I still find the reyes glove loose fitting in strange areas of the glove - ie around the wrist and top of the hand. The padding isnt as well molded to the leather of the reyes velcro's as compared to the reyes lace ups.

Hybrid x gloves were an ancient purchase. 'hard as hell' is accurate. I used to use them for light mma sparring, but havent been doing much besides kickboxing and boxing the last few years.

Reyes 16 oz gloves originally with the hecho en mexico symbol are easily the most durable gloves Ive ever owned. I limited them to sparring years ago after seeing how they turn out after serious pad/bag abuse, best gloves for sparring and getting in sneaky shots against ppl who cover up well. Oddly i would do more damage with the 16 oz kings than I did with my reyes. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but I think padding that is too soft can be worse on your sparring partner than stiffer molding like the reyes.

My reyes favesaver with nylon bar is awesomely protective. But it moves around alot being one size fits all with how the chin strap doesnt sit right. I think I need fg 2900 or 5000 in white. Drooling like a muhfuckuh...

Thanks for the reply. Very interesting, I always thought the BVG-6s were designed for sparring. Also did the hecho en mexico symbol on the Reyes just come off over time or did you remove them? I think my top kings would look nicer without the logo and I'm trying to figure out the best way to remove them.

The Reyes started to peeled off over time (about a year of having them) and i just peeled them completely off. It came off really easily.

Not sure of how to remove logo's - but your yellow top kings are slick with or wihout the logo.

I've seen the bgv6's in 16 oz and they can definitely be used for sparring. Fairtex market's the product only emphasizing the stylish angular velcro strap. They are definitely a multi purpose glove at 14 oz plus.
