That's alright - knowing me I'll end up using both anyway since I'll be ditzy enough to forget my password pretty often! I'm a bit behind on the rep system so I've only just started using it otherwise would have given a few out over the last couple of days for yours and other's helpful comments

Hey don't put it down as ditzy!
(I did the exact same thing LoL!)

I'm behind on this Karma thing myself, but the posters haven't changed so we'll still get the same quality of advice which is the important thing.

I emailed Cleto Reyes to find out about their AIBA approved gloves and THEY DON'T HAVE ANY! So if you see AIBA approved Cleto Reyes THEY'RE FAKE!

I ordered a pair of the real thing though and they should arrive next week. Soooooo excited!

Not sure if I'll use them for sparring because my coach has decided his policy on sparring gloves has changed and he wants us to wear 16 ounce gloves and headgear all the time.

Funny he was the one who originally said 10s were fine for midgets like me! Also I think I'm almost the only one who's been wearing headgear for sparring at all including him!

So I'm waiting to see what he actually sticks to before I buy anything! I swear the old 16 ounce gloves everyone uses are probably so stuffed they're less protective than new, good quality 10s anyway!

I don't mind wearing headgear because i have my own and it's comfortable but need a stable rule for the gloves before I purchase I think! i don't see the point of a bantamweight training in 16s - the size of them is all wrong for good technique and balance since I'm so small I think?

The good thing at the moment is our Dollar is at like 94 US cents so when you order, the gloves will be super cheap!

Yeah, I know that for sure

Yeah kinda glad I took so long working out what I wanted and making sure I could afford it since if I'd bought them a month earlier I'd be paying more but it's pretty cheap right now.

It's tempting to just try to think of anything else I might want from the states to take advantage of it while I can! I know nothing about money but for some random reason I'm guessing the US dollar is only low temporarily?

No the US Dollar may never fully recover, so we'll be pretty minted!
