Pork Chop is on a distinguished road
I think the liner's cotton - but yeah, it's the same on both gloves. The leather on the Super Bag gloves should stretch a little, but not as much as like Ultimate Classic Superbag gloves (where a medium can become a large). i think it takes a while too - i remember mine being really snug the first few months.

I've gotta be honest, I still have not gone back to my Grant trainers to check them out; sorry just bein lazy I guess.
I've mostly been using the Top Ten Sparring gloves I reviewed on the other thread - still "breaking them in" I guess, with 3 rounds of bag work a session. I put the Top Tens in my gear bag and just kept forgetting to switch them out.

Let me try out the Grant training gloves tonight and give them a more up-to-date review; I'll do my best to remember.
One of the things I'm a little concerned about; even if I do review them, is that I think Grant padding may re-harden when not being used. I think the padding softens up with use, actually becoming thicker & more protective, and that can really change my opinion on them.

If you can shop in Mexico, aside from Reyes, you may want to check out Paolo Males (sp?) gloves- my buddy's got a pair and they're sweet.
