Guantes

Guantes was a Spanish-language boxing magazine that was produced from Panama and later from New York City. The magazine's name means gloves in Spanish.[1]

Profile

The publisher of Guentes was Hispano American Publications.[2] Chon Romero served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine for a long time.[1] Guantes covered news from the boxing world with a special reference to hispanic boxing news.[2] Each issue of the magazine featured the top ten boxers worldwide.[2] Ring En Español, which stopped production in 1985, was the main competitor of the magazine.[1]

Guantes held yearly award ceremonies to reward reigning world boxing champions.[1] These ceremonies were usually been celebrated at New York's restaurant, Victor's Cafe. Many corporate giants have sponsored the event: for many years, the event was called the Timex| Guantes awards, other times, the Roblex|Guantes award and so on.[1]
