The brand of glove is predetermined and then they pick. Some fighters feel that each individual set feels different than others even if they are the same brand
I am sure that some Grant gloves feel more like Reyes gloves and vice versa.I just dont believe in the heavyweight division that tiny bit of difference makes a big difference.If this was a lower weight class it would make much more of a difference, but not when both guys are over 240lbs.I just don't buy it, never have.
I understand that point. Once the big boys start throwing, you wouldnt think that what was on their hands would make that much difference. But some people think it really makes a difference.

Here is an article that was posted awhile back about gloves:
