Okay, so I’ve been meaning to upgrade my boxing gloves for a while now. I’ve seen Jose Ramirez fight, and the guy is a beast! I figured, “Why not check out what gloves he uses?” So, I started digging.
First, I jumped onto some boxing forums. You know, just to get a general feel for what people were saying. Lots of chatter, but nothing super specific about Ramirez’s exact gloves. It was mostly just fan talk, which, don’t get me wrong, is fun, but not exactly what I needed.
Then I hit up Google. Typed in “jose ramirez boxing gloves” and… well, a bunch of stuff came up. Some articles about his fights, some generic boxing glove reviews, even some ads for gloves that looked similar, but weren’t necessarily the ones.
I spent a good hour just clicking through different websites. I landed on a couple of boxing equipment retailers, but it was all pretty vague. They’d have gloves that were “inspired by” pros, or gloves that were “similar to” what the pros use. Ugh, frustrating!
Deeper Dive
I then decided to get more specific. I tried searching for interviews with Ramirez, hoping he might have mentioned his gear somewhere. No luck. I found some pre-fight hype videos, but they were all focused on the training, not the equipment.
I even scrolled through his social media, thinking maybe he’d posted a picture of his gloves or tagged the brand. Nada. The guy’s clearly focused on his training and fights, not on being an influencer for boxing gear, which I respect.
Honestly, I’m a bit bummed. I was really hoping to track down the exact gloves he uses. I guess it makes sense that it’s not public knowledge – maybe it’s a sponsorship thing, or maybe he just wants to keep some things private.
- Search boxing forums.
- Google search.
- Look the social media.
- Look for interviews
So, for now, the mystery remains. I might have to just go with a good quality glove that fits my style, even if it’s not the exact Jose Ramirez model. But hey, the search was kind of fun, even if it didn’t get me the answer I wanted. It’s all part of the boxing life, right?
