Same thing

If your looking for punchers gloves and have tough sparring partners go with some grants or cletos if you want to spend that much. Everlast, title, and ringside have good training gloves as well but tend to have more padding if you want softer gloves. I guess it all depends on how much you wanna spend and who your gonna be hittin bud.

i just ordered a pair of 16 oz. from gsboxing.com they have been around forever and have quality stuff real leather also.

Aaaahhh, G&S, nice choice.
They are very popular in upstate New York and on the east coast.
One of my best buds swears by them.
Nice to see that they've upgraded to their shock absorbing foam- your sparring partners will be glad too. hehe
Which pair did you get?

I'm sorry but those gloves don't look like 50 bucks however I'm just going by looks. They look exactly like cheap title knock offs. I would recommend Everlast pro sparring gloves. Feels more like pro gloves.

well I have those gloves in my hands and i can tell you they are no cheap title knockoffs they are a good quality glove and the company has been around forever. But so has everlast so that is a good choice as well.

No, G&S are legit, old-fashioned, hand-stitched gloves with a modern fill.
They were just small enough a company to get ignored by the mass commercialization of boxing, but large enough to survive (mainly by word of mouth) to these days.

My old coach swore by 'em and everyone in his boxing gym in upstate new york had 'em.

LOL at least theres someone else here that knows about G&S thanks for your input Pork Chop

I just checked out both sites and i am going to be using Everlast i think, TJ seems to rate them highly and the stuff that i am thinking of getting (Gloves and Punch Mits) are a little cheaper on there.....
