I bet Everlast makes a Reyes knock off.

Everlast is the biggest and most clumsiest of the brands... it's real old school.

Me, personally, I prefer the Reyes. After that I'd do the TKO's. Can't stand the Everlast or Grant's... too big, too clumsy, and they slide all around your wrist and hand.

I think that's what the problem is here. Not sure why people keep comparing these Everlasts to the Everlasts that are usually worn in fights. They are not the same gloves. If they were we would not be having this problem. And again I cant believe that we are here again after the last circus but I suppose they figured it got under Floyds skin the first time which again begs the question is there are glove contract?

My guess is that there is, otherwise why would Maidana not be wearing Reyes? I believe they are trying to get Reyes gloves in with an Everlast decal on them and wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Everlasts are produced in the Reyes factory in Mexico. This would be in line with the concerns over the padding and direction in the first fight. It was designed to work its way toward the wrists and not stay around the knuckles. To attempt the same thing as last time is weak and its not going to sell more tickets. Its going to turn people off.

Its already compounded by the fact that both titles are on the line. They have not yet announced whether are using 8's or 10's.

Tyson during his peak wanted to wear Everlast because of their history. He helped them design the glove so that they became punchers gloves for him.
