Now that is a really nice looking bag! As close to perfect-looking as a bag can be. Glad you like it. Who knows - maybe Santa will bring me one for christmas.

That looks like a 6x9 bag. The 5x8 is all white (no black) and the 7x10 is all black...hopefully the 6x9 is what you were shooting for?

Fingers, thanks for the review. I just had Santa (Mrs. Biff) order me an all-white 5x8. Looking forward to trying it out.

I found the same thing when ordering from Title USA, the all white is 5x8.

Or double up...Keep the Fighting 6x9 and maybe try the Title Gyro 5x8. I have the Gyro 7x10 and love it...I would have gotten the 5x8 too but I have had my eye on those Rival bags and wanted some variety.

The figthing sports black & white is definitely 6x9 size, I have one. Good bag - hits well and stylish.

COOL! I didn't realize they made those in different sizes! I may get one of those 5x8 (My favorite bag size)

After your great recommendation, as "soon" as my Title 5 x 8 wears out, Fighting Sports, here I come.

Just got my bags today. Pumped them up, hung them and punched a few minutes with both. The Fighting 5x8 has soft leather, even seams, and rebounds well. So far, I like it very much. The ProMex 8x5 is a bit smaller, has a longer loop, but does hit well.

Here are a couple of pics of my 5x8 bags.
Pic 1: Title Classic, Title, Fighting Sport, and ProMex (and Kasey, our cat)

Pic 2: The same bags, but shows how much longer the ProMex loop is.

That's because it hasn't peed on it yet!:D:D Excellent capture by the way Biff, you couldn't have planned that shot if you tried.

It looks smaller than the Title classic. A nice looking bag Biff. I'm going to order one next week. But I'll be giving Sugar Rays a call to make sure they have them in stock and that they don't send me the 6x9.

Tim should get some discount from from the manufactures as through the forums their sales must have taken a big leap.:D

It is just a little smaller than the Title Classic, Vini, you're right. It's been on the hook for a day now and I really do like it. Good luck with your purchase.

Yes I'm going to look into that in the new year, maybe sooner. This site is on the first page of hits on google.com when searching for "speed bag". I think we've got enough clout here to get some discounts :)

Interesting, the Pro Mex is clearly the smallest bag, yet that mile long loop makes it almost as long a rebound arc as the bag next to it.

Well done Tim, Good luck with it, I really do think you can pull that off.

Any chance of speaking with Sugar Rays for the UK baggers?:eek:
