Hello this is my first Review I wish you will find it Satisfying. I got a pair of maroon black 14 oz I was really excited about them they seemed great at first with the unmistakable smell of leather
The look 9/10
the gloves looked really nice the colorway was really good the contrast between black, maroon, and gold gave the glove a really distinct look with the dual colors with golden lining and golden logo. the leather was soft and with some sort of a matte shine. it was a good Grant style glove with the split thumb and the dual color glove face
The Feel 7.5/10
the glove was a bit more snug than what I'm used to, but I think 16 Oz would've been more suitable for me but it wasn't snug in a bad way. as I use 180" hand wraps with knuckle pads and I have a bit bigger hands 11" across the hand
they were moderate gloves not punchers and not soft gloves the padding was in the right spot between soft and hard.
the thumb was comfortable with a good position. and the glove came with a bit of a broken in feel and you can open form an almost perfect fist from the very start.
the valcre was good and there was good padding around the wrist that offered good support
Performance 7/10
these gloves are comfortable and can be used for either sparring or bag work
and here comes the first con the padding on the left glove was different then the right glove and quite deformed which forced my hand to land jabs at an awkward spot (between the glove and the thumb) this was really problematic
I used these gloves for bag work sparring and pad work and it performed moderately well in all of them you can't say they perform really good at either but you can't say they're bad we can say they are a moderate option all round glove
Craftsmanship and durability 4/10
well here comes the main disappointment before choosing these gloves I read many people singing praise of their craftsmanship and had really high expectations about them.
well as I said the gloves looked good in the start but I noticed right away the dissimilarity in the left glove padding which affected the performance greatly
the stitching: I used the gloves for bag work at the begining for less than 10 rounds and right away i noticed loose stitching and fraying around the thumb in the left glove which eventually broke I stopped using the gloves and went back to my old Titles and now shopping for a new glove in less than 3 months and that was really dissapointing
