NOTE: Due to the difficulty in obtaining these gloves from Mexico, I can only accept returns if there is a defect.  I cannot accept refunds for slight weight differences, as this is normal and to be expected from Mexican made equipment.  As the gloves are handmade, small blemishes or inconsistencies in look and weight are to be expected.  

"The Rocky II".  An update on the original heavy duty sleek original with hook and loop closure, and a robust, roomy knuckle area.  This Rocky packs a punch!

Sylvester Stallone chose Casanova in the original Rocky film due to its sleek shape.  Back then, Casanova were only known amongst purist boxers, and were scattered across North America, used in old-school boxing gyms because they were so durable.  "Rocky" catapulted it into the lime-light, and from that point on boxers have desired to own a pair, both for nostalgia and for their amazing construction.

Casanova is one of the original Mexican Boxing Glove makers.  Known for its hardy construction, Casanova Boxing Gloves are made in the true Mexican tradition, tough, rough, and ready to rumble.

Casanova Boxing Gloves use latex foam padding, and full leather construction.  It is made with thick, durable Mexican cowhide leather.  This is a slightly different design than you may have seen or experienced a few years ago.  The hand compartment is smaller, and the glove is slimmer.  It uses double stitching across the entire glove, and the latex padding feels thicker and softer than their previous version.  My last pair of Casanova 16oz hook and loop were lovely.  These are even better!

These are some of the most beautiful Mexican gloves I have seen.  When I was exploring Mexican boxing equipment, I was, of course, drawn to the Casanova brand due to its long history. 

I have these in classic red, and black.

The leather is more of a matte feel and look than, say, Reyes leather.  

I also have 16oz training gloves in beautiful retro-style lace-ups, in red, black, and maroon.

I'm so excited to be able to source Casanova for Aussie boxers!  

Mexican gloves are handmade in little workshops in the heart of Mexico City.  In Mexico, boxers aren't so much concerned with the WEIGHT of the glove, rather the SIZE.  Mexican gloves are very rarely the weight advertised, and almost CERTAINLY heavier.  If you're looking for something that is very accurate in terms of weight and appearance, I suggest looking at Topboxer who make a wonderful glove (very similar to Winnings).  If you're looking for some old-school, rugged Mexican leather gloves that are hardy and go the distance, then hop right on the train and enjoy the ride!
