PAIR SIGNED AND USED BY MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER BOXING GLOVES 1989 CLETO REYES

Description

THESE ORIGINAL BOXING GLOVES WERE OWNED, USED, AND SIGNED BY MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER IN 1989 WHILE DOING THE EDDIE ANDLEMAN SHOW ON WBZ RADIO IN BOSTON.
EDDIE ANDLEMAN THEN MOVED TO WEEI RADIO WHICH IS WHY THE LEFT GLOVE SAYS GOOD LUCK.
THESE WERE ONE PAIR OF HIS MANY (MAYBE A DOZEN PAIR) TRAINING GLOVES AT GOODY AND PAT PETRONELLI'S GYM IN BROCKTON, MASS. THESE GLOVES ARE ORIGINAL TO THE PERIOD AND SHOW PROPER WEAR OF USE. THE RIGHT HAND GLOVE SHOWS A BLACK AREA IN THE RIGHT WRIST INDICATIVE OF THE GLOVE HITTING HEAD GEAR WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN WORN WHILE SPARRING. THESE ARE 16 OUNCE TRAINING GLOVES WITH THE THUMB LEFT OPEN TO THE GLOVE (NOT SEWN TOGETHER), WHICH IS CORRECT FOR THE TIME PERIOD AS A SEWN GLOVE WOULD HAVE COME LATER WHEN SUGAR RAY LEONARD NEEDED EYE SURGERY FROM AN OPEN THUMB GLOVE. THE EXTRA LONG LACES ARE ORIGINAL AS WELL AND WOULD HAVE BEEN TIED AROUND THE WRIST AREA AND TAPED. THE GLOVES WERE SIGNED WITH A GOLD LEAF MARKER WHICH IN SOME AREAS HAS FADED OVER TIME. BUT THE INSCRIPTIONS AND SIGNATURES ARE UNQUESTIONABLY HIS AND IS COMPLETELY LEGIBLE.
THE LEFT HAND GLOVE IS SIGNED:
MARVELOUS  MARVIN HAGLER CHAMPION AND FRIEND K. O. (KNOCK OUT)
THE RIGHT HAND GLOVE IS SIGNED:
GOOD LUCK PEOPLE CHAMP AND FRIEND MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER (AND DATED) 1989
THESE WERE A GIFT TO ME BY THE PRODUCER OF THE SHOW.
HAVING BOXED FOR SEVERAL YEARS MYSELF, HE FELT I WOULD APPRECIATE THEM MORE THAN HE DID AND THEY WERE
GIFTED TO ME. HE WAS RIGHT.
I'VE OWNED THEM FOR MANY YEARS AND IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY THEM AS I HAVE.
THESE ARE A GREAT PIECE OF BOXING HISTORY FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR THE ONE PIECE NO ONE ELSE HAS.
THERE ARE MANY SIGNED SOUVENIR TYPE PARADE
GLOVES NEVER INTENDED TO BE USED, BUT WERE FOR AUTOGRAPHS ONLY...
BUT THESE WERE HIS AND HE BOXED WITH THEM! THEY ARE SIGNED AND DATED BY HIM AS HE BROUGHT THEM TO THE RADIO
STATION SHOW AND SIGNED THEM
THERE!
