Is winning worth it?

[Jordee-G]

is it worth me saving up for winning gloves of headgear? will they ship to the UK?

[vercingetorix3]

If you got the money, it's totally worth it.

I do not regret purchasing my 16 oz. Lace-Up Winnings.

[F l i c k e r]

Yes and No.


Yes, if you plan on making a living as a boxer.

No, if you plan to just get a workout with a boxing routine.

what if i can save up and just wana see if boxin is my thing and enjoy doing bagwork?

Don't get me wrong, I swear by Winning gloves. Best gloves in the business in terms of protecting your 21's. lol (your hands)

But 300 bucks is alot if your just gonna workout a couple times then quit. I say go for it if you want to get into boxing the sport. Not just a quick workout.

if i brought them to my gym they would get stolen though :/

Don't bother with them. Especially if you're not even sure if boxing is your thing yet.

Most of the people who have Winning stuff (and I'm not talking pros or serious amateurs) just get it to show off how much money they have and because they hope people will think they are good boxers just because they have the best gear.

I had problems with my hands. Did I pay $300 for a pair of the best gloves available? No I paid $80 for a good pair of gloves and then put a piece of sponge inside my wraps for extra protection. Hand problems solved.

Fair enough, might just get some grant's or something...

I would say just get some IMF techs or some grants for now. Then if you really like boxing 6 months to a year later get some winning gear. I would get the headgear first.
