There is a real nice article on gloves in the new Ring. As a fan, which glove do you like fighters to wear?glove color too ???
I like watching fights with Reyes black or red or any color really other than white. I think white gloves hurt the tv viewer. Seems to make punches move slower. Maybe that's just the alcohol usually consumed while watchin though as well. I do not like white gloves though.
lolol.... everyone likes the Reyes Red. They scream of bloody fight!
I never really liked people wearing everlast because they looked clumsy but i got some for my birthday from my ex after trying them on a few times i really liked them and now i don't really care what gloves people wearing because they might be ugly ass but as long as the fighter likes them and everything is okay by the book i don't care.
I like the old school look, winning gloves for example, those new flashy things aint for me!

The Stinger.... they don't let you use that no more though
Any glove in any color, except pink, green, or yellow!
The ones thrown with purpose..
Or checkerboard...some checkered black & white gloves would be cool :-X
I like union jack gloves
Red gloves, I am a traditionalist so Everlast but Reyes are suppose to be for punchers.

Black is pretty much the color I wear the most and I just like the shape of the Grant; punches pretty heave and offers a good defensive basis. Pretty balanced everywhere. I don't like the Everlast though (even though if once again it doesn't make the fights less enjoyables), they are kind of long and they look soft, wouldn't wear that anytime it's possible.
I am also growing fond of the Rival gloves which seem to be pretty good overall and to offer a very tight grip around the wrist.
Owned a shirt like that once, an expensive one, everybody hated it. I wound up using it as a clean up rag.Quote:

The Germans wear the black addidas ones which look OK.
I remember a fight in which Amir Kahn had on Reebok gloves and I think it was manny steward called him out on it that they don't even manufacture gloves.
