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]
The publisher of Guantes was Hispano American Publications. 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 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, at other times, the Roblex | Guantes award.[1]
