(Part 2) Best boxing gloves according to redditors

This is what popped up for me when I scanned it

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776N6554/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Vto0CbFY3NJE1

In all seriousness, I use the cheap 30$ gloves (Everlast) that you can pick up in your average sporting goods store. It might just have been my luck, but they've lasted me over a year now with no tearing or other problems. I hit the bag upwards of 5 times a week for anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. I use the 16 oz. gloves.

Here are the gloves I mean in case you didn't know: http://www.amazon.com/Everlast-Style-Training-Gloves-Black/dp/B000JF6LUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417380828&sr=8-1&keywords=everlast+gloves

For about 20-30$ more you can get the next "tier" of gloves which include better ventilation and gel inserts. As long as you invest in decent wraps though, the basic gloves should do fine for bag work.

I want these, but I wouldn't ever wear them

These are solid training gloves for a good price.

So first you want to talk to boxers that have tried other gloves. I've tried a lot of different gloves. But then you want to go into like... the nitty gritty of 'what is the glove for?'

The biggest thing is if you are actually training (that means REAL training like... 3 hours a day for 4-6 days a week hardcore) you will need a bag glove, and a sparring glove. Because in a month or two even the nicest 'general purpose glove' will get it's foam compacted from hitting the bag and it will be dangerous for you to hit your sparring partner with.

Everlast gloves are... "ok" for only basic bag work and the BIG qualifier is that... once you start developing more muscle and punching power... those gloves, the ergonomics, the wrist protection etc, can actually cause a lot of hand problems and potential injuries. I have hayabusa tonkushu regenesis 16 oz gloves for bag work and even without hand-wraps I feel like the amount of wrist protection they offer I could never hurt myself throwing with them. With everlast gloves you BETTER wrap your hands if you're throwing hard. Because I can bend their wrist support with my pinky. But hayabusa's are like $130 and basically the best bag glove you can buy so... Assuming you're on a budget...

The things you look for in a bag glove: IMF tech and Gel padding are both great for bag gloves, multi-layer foam isn't bad either but gel is specifically something that is great on bag gloves and awful for sparring gloves because it's only purpose is not to soften the impact to the target but to evenly distribute the force through the glove to your hand.

So like the title gel world bag gloves are a great option, ringside's imf tech bag gloves are also great.

A BIG quality flag is going to be, normally you want to look for 100% cow-hide leather or just 100% leather, there's a few exceptions, Hayabusa's synthetic leather is the ONLY synthetic that's actually good. Don't believe any other marketing, with that they've actually done like tensile strength testing (how much force does it take to tear it) as well as like folding tests, it lasts longer than leather, where as every other companies synthetics are generally garbage unless they opt to tell you the results of the tensile strength tests and durability tests (they won't...) if you wanted to order hayabusa's leather it's probably more expensive per square foot than cow-hide leather anyway. Compared to the synthetic leather that other companies use which is... pennies.

The specific glove for bag gloves would be the Ringside Apex bag glove, it's the cheapest imf bag glove, it is synthetic leather, but assuming you're on a budget you can get them for sub $50 off of amazon. Up from that the title gel world bag gloves or the Triumph United Death star gloves are both ~$80 and they're both all leather I think personally you'll get slightly better padding from the gel bag gloves but better wrist support from the triumph united gloves, comfort is a wash between the two I think.

Sparring gloves: On a budget, like looking for a $50 glove the IMF sparring gloves https://www.amazon.com/Ringside-Sparring-Elastic-Boxing-16-Ounce/dp/B000NZKFL6

Would be your entry level sparring glove, just... very solid, very reliable. And very cheap for an all leather glove. One thing with this is you have to do a bit of bagwork on these, hard bagwork, to break in the IMF stuff. IMF is basically like... they make a space in the glove and inject foam (think of a calking gun sorta) into those spaces where they've designed to be like sealed foam padding areas. But once you break them in they're great.

The ultimate sparring glove would still be a winning 16 oz glove, it's the industry 'dream' glove. But they're like $300 and personally I will say that they charge far more for their brand and you can actually get BETTER (yes better than winning) gloves for cheaper. If you go onto the Sherdog forums there are a couple people doing custom gloves specifically top-boxer, a brilliant single man custom glove-maker that works out of pakistan.

LOTS of pro fighters comission a pair of his custom gloves... Why? Because the guy is a fucking wizard, he doesn't just make them with your designs / color choices... you send a scan of your hand to him measurements of your fingers and everything like that so he can custom design the hand compartment FOR your hands. He's even designed some gloves that fit snug for a veteran who was missing like 2 fingers on one hand and his index finger on his other hand. And by all accounts they worked brilliantly for him.

And it's like $150-160. Also if you've watched the recent embeddeds... maybe you've noticed Jon Jones' Top-Boxer gloves with "Jon Jones" On one glove and "LHW Champion" On the other those are top boxer's.

Cowboy Cerrone also has a pair, as does Conor Mcgregor, as do a lot of UFC athletes. Because they are actually custom TO YOU. They'll tend to actually be better than winning gloves. Which for $160 is a steal. Biggest downside with them would be that you have to wait for him to get to your order. You're ordering from a craftsman not a company. I've heard it's almost always like... 2 weeks to a month for him to finish and ship them then shipping is probably a week or two. But he might arguably be the best fight-gear craftsman in the world.

On the cheaper side but still more expensive than the $50 imf tech sparring gloves, I cannot recommend the triumph united death adder enough. John Wayne Parr uses them Joe Schilling uses them, Mark Hunt uses them.

Yes they are also sponsored by them, they're fucking good gloves. And they're way under-priced for how great they are.

They're a small form factor for sparring gloves at 16 oz, they feel like i'm wearing a 12-oz twins thai glove and yet my wrist and hand are super protected, the padding is fantastic. I only have the lace up (which by the way is fucking gorgeous looking) which is now $90, but this last weekend all of their death adders, hook and loop and lace up were $50. Which was a fucking STEAL, I actually bought their hook and loop just to try it out since I already had their lace up version.

I'm not a boxer, but I did end up buying a heavy bag with some gloves and wrist wraps a few months ago, just to get a different form of cardio. It get's the job done really well.

when looking for gloves, I ended up buying these, and they been pretty good so far. Everlast boxing gloves

from my experience, protecting your wrists/knuckles is the most important part, so make sure you get yourself some wraps. I got some pretty small hands, and yet 120" is barely enough to wrap both my wrist and knuckles, so I suggest you get the 180" wraps. wrist wraps

Beginner here. I'm looking into a cheap pair of 16 oz gloves for bag work and some sparring. I've heard great things about TITLE's cheaper gloves but I just wanna run this by the community to make sure I'm spending my money right. How are the Title Classic Pro Style Training Gloves 3.0? Thanks.

Cleto Reyes Extra Padding Leather Training Gloves

Managed to have someone bring me two pairs of these in 16oz in from Mexico at half the price about 3 months ago. If you're familiar with Cleto's you know that they have relatively small hand pockets and a break in period for your thumb to fit comfortably. These are definitely redesigned in that the pocket is bigger and is roomy enough for me to comfortably fit padded hand wraps inside with no discomfort from the get go. The thumb pocket is incredibly comfortable without any tightness around the base of your thumb and angled to form a fist much better reducing the risk of hurting your thumb with glancing strikes. The padding is very thick around the knuckles and slightly less firm than your traditional latex foam Cleto's. On my scale they weigh around 18.5 ounces. The wrist support is far less than the RETG1 as the hook and loop strap is a lot higher on the wrist and the cuff a bit shorter, but as a result has a nicer hand fit when strapped. I was pleased to find out they have the same pop if you buy the red ones, I noticed the black pair did not pop as much and I think it has to do with the acrylic leather paint that the reds have vs blacks being just dyed leather that is very soft.

I don't think anyone would complain about these in sparring as the latex foam is thicker and has nice give when pressed, your knuckles should not be going through it unless you're a super heavy and hard sparring and they're great when giving body hooks to those mean hard settled spots on a heavy bag.

Winning gloves are a huge investment for someone to make without knowing if boxing is truly for them.

I tried a lot of gloves and the two that I felt were the most supportive for padding were Ringside IMF Bag Gloves and Hyabusa Tokushu Regenesis Gloves. I went with the Hyabusa as they felt like they needed less breaking in and had excellent wrist support.

1.) For the most part, as long as you stay away from the cheap varieties from companies such as Everlast/Century, you should be alright. You could very well go with the Cleto Reyes Training Gloves (16oz.) and not regret it. A slightly cheaper recommendation would the Ringside IMF Tech Bag Gloves, although I must warn you that they are quite (notoriously) well-known for being very stiff when used brand new and will need to be broken in with use. A far more primo option that you could take would have to be Winning gloves. Not much else to say here except that most of the links I provided point towards Velcro (Hook and Loop closure) gloves, although if you did want gloves with laces, you could easily find lace variants of the same gloves on Amazon.

2.) Those 10oz. gloves are meant more for competition and actual fights, rather than mitt work; I would definitely recommend that you communicate with whomever you're planning on training with for what they would like for you to get, as they could just as well have you use your 16oz. gloves for mitt work as well.

3.) The Meister Focus Mitts have worked out pretty well for me, seems pretty sturdy and well built and has held up for me. There's a ton of different brands out there, as long as you pick one from a reputable producer, you should be alright.

4.) Ringside has some good heavy bags around; but I would probably be a bit more concerned about where/how you're going to hang it, first.

I'm a total noob and joined a gym last week. I bought wraps from the gym I joined for $10 bucks but didn't also want to buy gloves from them too because I'm already spending too much on an enrollment and monthly fees so I bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JF6LUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got the 16 oz ones, did I fuck up or is this a decent starter pair?

How do you tell the difference between muay thai and boxing gloves? And are these gloves strictly for boxing or muay thai?

I can sincerely attest to the quality and value of these boxing gloves .

I’ve used these shin guards a couple of times and they’re fine.

As for hand wraps, I bought them at my gym, as the ones I’d bought were not long enough (140). Make sure your hand wraps are long enough and you’ll be fine.

Guys looking for a pair of boxing gloves for a mate looking at getting into it. They will be used for technical sparring and mittwork.

​

Unfortunately the glove selection in Australia isn't great. I love rivals but they are pricey and the bag gloves are just way too hard for sparring. I've tried on a pair of cheap RDX ones before and thought they were pretty solid, an excellent beginner glove. I know the RDX T1 has really good reviews online but I'm leaning towards the RDX S4 in terms of looks.

Anyone tried these on before/could provide any feedback on them. Amazon reviews are really favourable.

Looking for longer lasting gloves

I have been boxing for about a couple months, about a month ago I purchased Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves for $40. Not surprisingly they only lasted about a month and now they are starting to get flat spots.

I am now looking at something similar to Fighting Sports S2 Gel Fierce Training Gloves. Does anyone have any recommendations? I go to my gym 3-5 times a week.

also I'd highly advise you to find someone to teach you things at least once per week. There's tons of resources if you want to go out and find them. Usually someone at a local boys & girls club will train you for cheap or free or at least meet with you once a week. if you have any more questions ask away.

Don't be embarrassed that you're out there and trying, only be embarrassed if you've never tried!

I bought the 16oz Everlast gloves from Amazon. They're on sale right now for 35 instead of 50.
