I am disappointed with this place!
Recently, I decided to get back into boxing, bjj, etc.. problem is I had lasik (flap created ) about a year ago and I was told by the doctor be extremely careful with any contact sport. With that in mind, I did some research on headgear that would protect my eyes and came across Pro Boxing Equipment in Pasadena.
I contacted someone at Pro Boxing ( failed to get his name) to see if they would be so kind as to recommend headgear that would offer the protection I need. The gentleman was really kind and sounded like he knew what he was talking about, and went on to recommend, to my surprise, the Cleto Reyes Face Saver over their own brand. I asked if it was in stock and he assured me it was in stock. I said, great! see you in a few days, and left it at that.
So a few days later I go to pick up the headgear. Upon my arrival, the employee, which was not the gentleman I spoke to on the phone, tells me that the headset was not in stock and only available for online orders. I was bummed! I had driven from Fontana to Pasadena for nothing! Drive back east on the 210 on friday night = absolute nightmare!
Dispite this little issue I decided to give them another shot, so I asked if they had anything similar to what I was looking for. The guy there was trying to sell me their version of the headgear, which I was totally fine with, that not only looked really used, but was also like 2 sizes too small . I felt insulted! My kindness was wearing thin.
I started looking for anything that would offer some protection to my eyes and came across the Mexican style Pro Boxing headset, but that one was too small, too. so I asked the guy if they would happen to have that particular one in adult sizes. sarcastically, he tells me that the only color they had in stock was pink and that men could pull that color off no problem.......
Ah, yeah, dude! The employee was clearly in a funky mood, and was obvious that he did not want to be there.
Not only that, the place was an absolute filth! Headgear thrown on the floor with a trash can next to it, clothing also thrown all over the place, open boxes with merchandise all over the place, etc.
The few reviews I have written on yelp, not one is a negative one. This time I felt I needed to speak up. Hopefully this review helps Pro Boxing make a few changes that would allow their business thrive!
I will be generous and give them 2 stars because although I didn't find what I was looking for, they did have a lot of other cool stuff.....all over the floor. read more
