New Bags

Anybody know anything about these bags? The look like they will hit great.

No, I don't know anything about them, but I can speculate.

First off, the line is clearly a knock-off of the outrageously-priced Winning equipment (http://www.winning-usa.com) My guess is that this is TITLE's own brand just as Pro Mex is. While Pro Mex is not made in Mexico, I doubt Fighting is made in Japan (as Winning is)

The description of the Fighting fight gloves includes the following line, "The pride and joy of Japan for decades is now available to you in Fighting" I'm not sure what they are saying is the pride and joy of Japan, but I don't think it's the gloves themselves. Especially, if you consider that the brand's web site is registered by TITLE and wasn't created until 2002.

Domain name: FIGHTINGSPORTS.COM

Registrant Contact:
LLC Title Boxing
14711 W 112th Street
Lenexa, KS 66215
Creation date: 23 May 2002 03:35:47

Furthermore, a quick internet search didn't turn up anything on the brand, also suggesting that it is not well-known or has not been around for decades.

Of course, none of this says anything about the brand's quality. Also, it's speculation on my part and may not even be correct. Perhaps, as others weigh in on the subject, we'll have a better idea about its quality and heritage.

I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THESE NEW BAGS ARE TITLE'S BRAND - PROBABLY THEIR STANDARD BAGS WITH NEW COLORS AND A SHORTER LOOP IS ABOUT ALL THEY ARE. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE BAGS ARE NOT ANY GOOD - I AM SURE THEY ARE FINE BAGS. HOWEVER, I DON'T PLAN ON BUYING THEM OR ANY OTHER BAGS - I HAVE 4 EVERLAST PRO BAGS AND THE EVERLAST 4200. i HAVE ALSO OWNED BAGS BY TUF-WEAR, TOP CONTENDER, AND TITLE STANDARD. EVERLAST WHOOPS THEM ALL, IMO!

Yeah, my first thought is they look like Title bags. That could be a good thing. The Title Classic 5x8 is still my favorite bag. I could definitely rock that white bag. It looks sharp.

my thoughts exactly. I bought two, so I'll punch 'em up when they arrive and see how they behave.

No offense Speedbag, but I would prefer to get a review from someone with a little more speed bag experience. Just kidding. Please post a video as soon as you get the bags.
