Wii Boxing Goes Official With Everlast Boxing Gloves

November 20th, 2008 3:55 PM | by Christen da Costa

Perhaps you have a tendency to punch walls and other immovable objects while playing Nintendo Wii Boxing. If so, and thank God Everlast got the message, they’ve produced a pair of boxing gloves complete with pads, finger openings and pockets for your Wiimote and Nunchuck.

At $30 a pop I say break out the old boxing gloves and some duct tape instead.

Counterpunch Boxing Bag Tracks Power & Speed (video)

November 19th, 2008 2:47 PM | by Christen da Costa

Much like the Wii fitness, the Counterpunch makes exercise a game.  It keeps a tally of the number of punches (left and right) as well as magnitude.  Joe Calzaghe, who is now retired uses it and proved its worth by winning his last fight against Roy Jones Jr.  Hit the video and watch Calzaghe knock out 9 punches per second.

The Counterpunch can be yours for $3,750, and that includes an ID swipe card reader to track user scores.
