Pro Shoes

[LOLORSKATES]

I'm not really sure if this belongs here or where it belongs, but it anyway..what shoes do most of the pros wear? I mean i've seen so many different pairs of boxing shoes Roy Jones would wear, but I don't see any of them in Titleboxing or anywhere!

Its not so much the shoe as it is what you do once your in the shoe.

The shoes you see on the stars are probably custom made. I've only used Asics and Addidas, the higher end ones for the two brands are definitely better.

When it comes to equipment, don't self yourself short. Buy high quality. Looks better, fits better, and lasts alot longer.

Umm, I don't think he is trying to correlate better performance w/ better shoes.

Well since we're on the subject about ring apparel how good is grant boxing trunks? They cost a bunch of money, but i'm interested in them.

I have solid perfomance anyway. My movement is excellent and about everything else is great.

I've never owned any Grant equipment or apparel. For boxing shorts, I ordered mine through Ringside or Everlast.

As far as Muay thai shorts, I had it custom made, this Thai lady who my coached knew hooked it up for all the fighters that were competing in my gym, I had my monicker across my shorts in Thai writing. For one of my fights, my former girlfriend's dad gave me his muay thai shorts to wear for my other fight as well. It was a really nice gesture of his, I ended up winning the fight by way of forfeit. It was funny 'cause the guy I was suppose to fight was a Kung Fu stylist and his camp found out I was a Thai boxer(they didn't wanna mess w/ a leg kicker) and decided to drop out. The funny thing w/ all this is that both parties swapped videotapes of each fighter. So I don't have a clue as to why they didn't postpone it during training. The one thing that I still get ticked off about when I reminisce about the good ole days, is that on that night they backed out of the fight. The people that organized the whole event got my opponent another fight( I was left out in the cold). I was also p*ssed off at my coaches for not pushing hard enough to get me a substitute for that night.

This f**ked w/ my psyche, I can totally relate w/ Corrales when his trilogy w/ JLC got cancelled. I mean on average fighters train for fights 3 months out. All that sweat, blood, and tears.... Down the drain! Obviously w/ Corrales not only was it time wasted, but even worse he lost money!
