gnasher16 30,217 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Bird you are in the Midlands right ?.....dont go buying gloves off the internet mate they are important tools you wouldnt buy a pair of football boots without trying them on first would you.......go and see a chap called Vince at The Glove shop just outside the Bullring he,s been there donkeys years and is a nice and helpful old boy he,ll sort you out.....i can probably dig a number out if you need it but its a well known shop you shouldnt have too much trouble 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Buy him a dressing gown with his name and a nickname like 'the killer' or 'bone crusher' sewn onto the back. Only joking mate,you could get him a good gym bag,some elasticated wraps,maybe a couple of jumpers and some decent shorts. Gloves and boots he'll want to choose himself.

Seen the personalised gear on suzi wong website? Some of is mental lol Tbh i think the world missed out more by not seeing Tyson Furys 'free palestine' boxing skirt than the second Chisora fight. http://suziwong.co.uk/tyson-fury-skirt-boxing-shorts/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,217 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Never mind about Suzi Wong it would be better supporting some of our old heroes who paved the way for young fighters.....my little ol mucker Charlie Magri is up and trading again he had a cracking sports shop back years ago....ok he,s not quite back to that level but he,ll get there.....and it beats working for the council thats for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,217 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 He,s doing shorts for some of the local lads Kevin Mitchell,Tom Baker,Sam Mcness etc ......only small stuff to start off with but the shop he had back years ago was superb.....no i dont think he has a website yet he,s only been up and running a few months.......i just think its nice to keep things in - house so to speak.

rob284 1,682 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Suzi wong is in house. Believe it or not she has no asian relations at all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,217 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I wouldnt quite put a family run sportswear company in the same " in - house " league as a world champion fighter would you.... even if they are out of some poncey London fashion college Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,217 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 No their gear is top notch mate that cant be denied..........that said....if some of these young fighters were to put as much thought into their fight as they put into their shorts design and ring entrances we might not be having this conversation.....and they are the pros !! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
