Damn! Now I get why these have the reputation they do. Obviously totally different gloves but these are next galaxy compared to my HGPs. These feel so dang nice and are a much more accommodating fit compared to the HGP. Who would’ve thought you should buy a Mexican style glove, not a knock off of a Japanese one, from a Mexican manufacturer? Lol.

Better get better at boxing so I don’t become the dude with all the gear who sucks bc these things may have really set the boxing glove rabbit hole off lol. These things just feel great.

Hey guys, looking for some advice on glove size for all levels boxing classes.
I’m 181cm and 80kg. I started out doing Muay Thai for about 2-3 months about a year ago and have started boxing recently, so I’ve been using my 12oz Twins Special gloves in class. I’ve done boxing on and off over the years, but I’ve been going a lot lately and really enjoying it.
I’m currently dealing a little bit of a wrist and finger strain after a heavy bag session soo I’ve been having a few days off the gym until that’s fully healed. I know fixing my technique on the bag is the main thing, but I don't think the short Thai cuff and flexible wrist support are helping when hitting heavy bags. I am a beginner soo I know my technique may not be the best but I do always try to focus on technique over power. These gloves are great quality and were awesome when I was doing Muay Thai but ofc with boxing I’ve been throwing a lot more punches and feel like I could really benefit from an actual boxing style glove.

We don’t always do bag work in a session sometimes we’ll do live partner drills or something else. But I’d like to only have two pairs of gloves in my bag to be honest, one that can do everything in a class and then my sparring/ contact drill gloves. I already bought a separate pair of 16oz sparring gloves strictly for live partner drills and sparring if I ever choose to do so, so I don't need these new gloves for sparring.

I'm trying to decide what size to get for a dedicated class glove:

Should I just look for another 12oz boxing style glove with a stiffer boxing cuff?

Or move up to a 14oz for more knuckle foam and wrist support on the bag?

Or just run a 16oz like a lot of other people in class seem to do?

My 12oz Twins are fine for pure pad sessions, but I’d love recommendations on glove sizes—and any specific brands or models with solid wrist and knuckle support—that work well as an all-rounder for classes with bag work.
Thanks!

Thanks Boys!

What are the similarities and differences in terms of hitting pads, heavy bag, fit, feel, padding and comfort? I have never owned Winning boxing gloves before. Thank you.

I reported a leather cracking issue with my first pair after 1 boxing session.

Reported it to Tigrao immediately and promised me a new pair for free.

Waited for months and my 2nd pair came in. Immediately i used it and after 5 rounds of mitts and 5rounds bag the leather held up. No cracking

Just sharing my experience with Tigrao.
Thank you!

So just got a new pair of 16oz bayonettas and looking for. Some tips to clean the inside, I did research and most people use disinfecting spray/wipes but I feel like the gloves need something more high quality due to the price anyways thanks

14 oz - I won’t spar I guess for a while so unsure if to get 16oz or maybe lighter gloves for pads and bags. I’m 6ft and 89KG but loosing weight is the aim to sit around 70 if not I’ll get some boots

I'm looking for input on quality gloves and shin guards for an up and coming pre-teen who's gravitated quite nicely to muay thai kickboxing. I don't want to get bottom of the barrel budget garbage that might last him a couple weeks and need replaced, but I also don't want pro/competition level gear either(because let's face it, kids change their mind. and that's fine). Looking for that sweet spot of good quality at a reasonable price. I've tried looking on my own and there's just so much available that I'm completely lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

About him:
12 yr old
5'5"
140lb

Has been using house equipment at the school/gym for several weeks. Seems medium adult is good for him on shin guards and he's quite comfortable with the 16oz gloves they have for loaners.

$320 Shipped. PayPal only please.

I initially put it for $360, I was able to get a white headgear for around $320. So I was just trying to get that money back. Shipping in 1-2 days.

Just curious to see what your favorite boxing shoes are. Drop it in the comments and tell me why.

I’ve been boxing for a handful of years but have never done any actual sparring. I’m looking to step up into it now and want to get a pair of gloves specifically for sparring, rather than using my current gloves.

I currently have Fairtex BGV1 14 oz and Cleto Reyes 12 oz gloves, which I use for bag work, pad work, and some light technical partner work.

I like the fit of the BGV1, but I find they lack wrist support. I love the Cleto Reyes, but they can feel a bit tight around the thumb and hand, even after breaking them in.

I’m looking for 16 oz, leather boxing glove with an attached thumb, good wrist support, and soft padding that isn’t too hard or dense. I want something designed specifically for boxing sparring, not Muay Thai gloves.

A few options I’ve been considering:

• Fairtex BGV5: Seems like a good option, but I’ve come across reports of the wrist area splitting. Has anyone experienced this, particularly with regular use? They also are Muay Thai gloves though.

• Punch Mexican Elite One: Interested in these, but would like to hear how they hold up and how the padding feels for sparring.

• Leone 1947 GOAT (GN103): Curious about the fit, padding, and overall quality.

• Leone 1947 The Greatest (GN111): Another option I’m considering, but I haven’t found much feedback comparing them with the GOAT.

Has anyone used these gloves for regular sparring? How do they compare in terms of padding, wrist support, durability, and hand compartment space?

I’m also open to other recommendations. Ideally, I’m looking for a well-made glove that will last, with good protection for both me and my sparring partners. Thanks!

I've been using the HyperKO 3s for a while now, the soles are very springy which is critical as I weigh over 90 kg, however the shoe's construction is flimsy and the front is too wide so my rear foot shifts to the side of the shoe with repeated bounces which becomes very unstable.

Can any of you compare the HyperKO 3 with 2 or 1? Are the soles as springy? Do they feel more secure around the foot? Is the construction more solid?

Maybe you can vouch for other shoes which are good for this style?

Henderson Old School Bag Mitts - great feedback

New Sporting 2/B 12oz - excellent all-around glove with nice Mexican leather

Mastermind Boxing 16oz (no longer made?) - got these more than a year ago, they were developed by members of this sub and are extremely soft with a Winning-like thumb. Not great feedback on the bags but really good for drills and sparring and very small for a 16oz

Wanted to get a premium set of gloves for kickboxing/muay thai. Heard good things about this brand but mostly just from a boxing standpoint.

Anyone have experience with these or could give some insight on how they’ll do / how well they’ll hold up?

Thanks!

Money’s a bit tight right now, so I am trying to figure out if I really need two pairs of gloves like most people at my gym seem to have. I do bag work most days and spar about once a week. My gloves came with a starter kit, and they seem fine for both, but people give me looks when I show up to spar wearing what they call bag gloves. Is there an actual safety reason to use separate pairs, or is it mostly a gym etiquette thing?

Hello everyone, I currently have been training boxing/MMA/bjj for around 11 months. I train numerous times per week and would like to upgrade my current gear to better quality as it is falling apart. For boxing gear, I have the RDX 16oz gloves as well as headgear and a groin guard. I use the groin guard for MMA too as it is small and doesn't get in the way.

I have been looking at upgrading to Rival gear for gloves and headgear. Not sure about getting the groin guard. I spar boxing usually twice per week usually 20-25 rounds per week. I would want the face saver headgear, or is it better to get just the cheek protector?

I have also seen "PSS Customs" on Instagram but am unsure if the quality is good. I see people raving about it but they could be paid actors.

Is Rival a good upgrade recommendation? Or should I go with something else bang for buck?

Thanks in advance.
