(Part 3) Best boxing gloves according to redditors

Before we get started, get some good handwraps!! Any of the Mexican Style 180 inch wraps.

Handwraps are a must. They do not absorb shock (that's the gloves' job), but they are the first line defense in keeping those little bones stabilized. Search youtube for handwrapping methods; there are many types and it's up to you on which you want to stick with.

As for gloves in general; I wouldn't recommend any mexican style gloves (Cleto Reyes, Casanova, or just the label "Mexican-style" for generics) for beginners [unless they have padded versions, like Cleto Reyes Safetec (Pro fight/Training), Cleto Reyes Extra Padding (Sparring/Bag/Trainers)].

Basically, mexican-style gloves have their padding distributed differently (less on knuckle area), resulting in less overall hand protection, but allowing you to "feel your punch" more, which is definitely more fun and satisfying for some people.

This may not be optimal for beginners until punching technique is improved considerably.



1) Ring To Cage C17 2.0.

These gloves are actually inspired by Winning gloves (the long-time king of boxing gloves in fit/comfort/protection/durability). If you dig deep into the history on the Sherdog forums; it started in early 2013 by a user sending his pair of Winning 16oz gloves to RingToCage to have cloned/copied. After multiple revisions, the end result was great. It even went into mass production.

While not an exact clone; it's damn near close in terms of comfort and shock absorption. I have multiple pairs of C17s and Winning, and I must say; for a glove that's about 80% similar to Winning for less than half the price; it's a must have.

2a) If you want 10oz Reyes pro fight gloves, go for the Cleto Reyes Safetec version. They are meant for training as well, and will last much longer.

I use them myself, to alternate with my Winning 10oz pro fight gloves (my favorite gloves of all time)

Just note that professional fight gloves are not made to last long. Bag/training gloves would be your best bet.


2b) Rival RB1 Ultra bag gloves. (The RB20/Elite are good too, but only available in 12oz/14oz)

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=rival+bag+gloves+ultra&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Arival+bag+gloves+ultra


2c) Ring To Cage C17 2.0 is also available in 12oz.

2d) Top Contender Amateur Competition gloves (10oz/12oz)

These are only $27 right now (the red 10oz), and they're pretty good for what you pay (I used to main them until I got my hands on Reyes-Safetc/Winning fight gloves). I am not sure if they will last as long as (or longer) than professional fight gloves, though. If I had to guess, due to the extra padding which is required by Amateur boxing standards; they probably last longer.

3) lol sorry, I don't have notable experience in this department.

4) Outslayer heavybags

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=outslayer+bag

These things are great. They are only stuffed with fabric, NO sandbags at all, so there will be little to no chance of the bottom getting rockhard like my Ringside Leather bag.

I used Fighting for a long time. The 16oz Fightings I had were of very good quality and held up great, but eventually I decided they were just too wide and it was hard to split peoples' guards with them. There are some MMA companies making good gloves these days. I bought these about a month ago and they're awesome. Great padding for sparring, decent craftsmanship, great wrist support, and (my favorite part) they're nice and narrow.

Anybody have experience with the ringside apex gloves?? These

16 oz are mainly for sparring, so you'll need 14-16oz gloves either way. But honestly, at your size, especially with the intention to get into MMA, you could probably get by with bag gloves for general training.

Edit: Something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Fairtex-Muay-Glove-White-Black/dp/B075T264JT

I just bought a heavybag for my garage. I was thinking of buying another pair of gloves, either the everlast powerlock or the ring gloves. Here they are: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MX2BNS6/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1474366877&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=ring%2Bboxing%2Bgloves&dpPl=1&dpID=51AlL06L2kL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1 or

Anybody mind telling me which one to go for in terms of quality and protection of the hands?

Looking for new 14 oz heavy bag gloves with strong WRIST support under $100.

Looking at Venum Elites , the Fairtex BGV1 , Hyabusa Ikusas


Any advice?

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. i think this is awesome. the endorphins rush from completely annihilating yourself with conditioning feels great and while i'm completely inexperienced with depression, it can't hurt!
   
   
2. don't worry about being out of shape. i wish i had a video of my first class to level set and be like "see? at least you won't be THIS bad".
   
   
3. i really like these gloves for beginners. not too expensive but they're outside of "cheapo" territory. seem to hold up well and i've been punched with them a bunch so can attest that they're adequate for sparring :)
   
   good luck with everything man

If she's doing it for the self defense, tactical pen or Kubotan. If she's doing it for fitness and flexibility, foam roller or foam peanut. Some of the girls at my dojo use punching gloves so as not to bust their knuckles when we practice hard punching against medicine balls. If she wants to increase her power, wrist/ ankle weights (no more than 1 kilo per weight though). Hope this helps!

What do you guys think of these gloves? I just bought a pair of title heavy bag gloves but having a second pair for sparring or whatever wouldn't be bad, and these are pretty cheap right now

Late on this but to be honest I wouldn't go with the sports direct ones. Hopefully your budget stretches to these which I like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01AUEADVG/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?psc=1 also I am sure some will disagree but for cheap shins I think as a beginner cotton work well and I used these for my first year and still do now at times https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008TM6LQ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522705419&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=venum+shin+guard&dpPl=1&dpID=41guny8tuIL&ref=plSrch

How are those gloves? https://www.amazon.it/Leone-1947-Black-White-Guantoni/dp/B01CYTHZNY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1518203911&sr=8-3&keywords=guantoni+leone&dpID=41%252BLR2BFxvL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
I need to get a new pair (16oz) since the one im using is 14oz and its a bit too light/small for me would you guys recommend them or there is another pair that's better for the same price?

Has anyone ever used the RDX Ego boxing gloves?
Or any of the RDX series of gloves?

https://www.amazon.com/RDX-Leather-Sparring-Punching-Training/dp/B01KHUJCLU

Looking for new gloves, my current ones are getting warn out. The new ones will be used as a everyday glove (bagwork and sparring).

Price range $50-$75 USD

Thanks for any help or advice!

First pair of gloves for bag training, 16 oz, would you guys recomend Venum Elite or Fairtex Microfibre for the same 80$ pricepoint?


Venum

https://www.amazon.com/Venum-Elite-Boxing-Gloves-Black/dp/B01M4RISLR/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=venom%2Belite&qid=1574366579&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1

Fairtex

14oz is fine for bags, mitts and light sparring.

I personally purchased Hayabusa boxing gloves which are lighter in weight and works well for me. If you want to know its pros and cons, you can read here.

im also a beginner, but i got venum gloves and wraps off amazon, they arent very expensive and i love them so far.

Gloves (16oz is the best way to go)

Wraps (4 meter is what you want)

I am new to boxing and want to get my own gloves. I am unsure what to get. They will be used for heavy bag and pad work. I am considering Title Gel World Bag Gloves and Ring to Cage C17. Which should I get? (Other suggestions welcome)
