- An unbiased review of two pairs of gloves from Sabas fight gear in California. Review talks about performance, quality and styling. I'm not a fantastic boxer or an expert, but I have boxed before and have bought a ridiculous number of pairs of gloves ;) Please like if it helps you buy or answers some of your questions.
Great review. Very detailed with all the right info to help viewers make an informed decision. I ordered a pair of Hayabusa T3 sparring gloves before watching this. I'm tempted now to get another pair of the Sabas Pro, thanks to your review. My bank manager will not be happy! Thank you buddy.
Thanks. They are awesome gloves. So well made and sleek
Nice review, we appreciate the good words. Thank you
Thank you 4 years ahead
Great review, very explicit and practical. I do own a pair of pro series 16 oz (black/teal) and those are way more compact and feel lighter than other gloves (my old Reyes). Easy to open your hand and easy to make a solid fist, nice feedback sound and the minimalist design allows me do improve my defensive moves plus practice more accurate punches. Even the shipping was fast considering the shitty post office in Chile. 10 years in boxing and I totally recomend Sabas.
Really good value for money too! and if you have problem you can speak to the owner directly. I'm a convert for sure! They are breaking in nicely now too and are more flexible.
Great review. It answered many of the comparison questions that I had. Regards.
I didn't want to buy 2 pairs either , but I ended up with the maroon and black 16 oz supersofts and a 16 oz pair of teal and black pro series. I agree about the quality of the brand.They are amazing gloves. Even across the same weight, the hand compartment of the supersofts are much tighter. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing( I can still get them on with wraps), but I find myself favoring the pro series.The padding has more feedback on the bag, but is still really protective. I wanted one more pair and ended up getting another 16 oz pro glove since I have a couple of bags at the office.
For the price these gloves are fantastic! Real leather and amazing comfort. Not sure they're are well known in the UK but I'm determined to spread the word. Looking forward to being able to wear wraps with both the gloves soon so I can do some sparring. I can feel them breaking in so shouldn't be long.

what gloves do you recomend for bag work mitt work and sparring and which feel better velcro or lace?
I haven't tried any of the lace ups .All my gloves are velcro. In fact, I'm probably the least qualified person to give any real advice since I train mostly for fitness. My main concern is protecting my hands on the heavy bag.The pro series have just been perfect for me.The more I use them , the more I like them.
Can you guys tell me the website for the sabas gloves?
Yeah, I only wanted 1 pair but I ended up buying 15 pairs. But that was it, until I bought 7 more. I stopped after that, but I decided to buy 4 more pairs.
Thanks for the review. Plan to buy the Super Soft for bag work.
I just ordered my supersoft hook and loop velcro in 14 oz.
Cant wait 😁😁😁
hey buddy. How were the gloves? I’m looking for a pair of high quality gloves with great wrist and knuckle support. Thank you. 🙏🏻
@@sugarray1345 I'm happy to answer your question. I have had these gloves for about a year now. At first when I tried them on, i was surprised at just how much cushion they have. It didn't take long to break them in. I still use them to this day, and they haven't ripped or anything. They really are great gloves. I have owned numerous gloves in the past. Winning, Cleto Reyes, Ringside, etc. I can honestly say they have more support for you wrist and your knuckles that Ringside and Cleto Reyes by far. I can't compare them entirely to my Winning, since I only use those for sparring. Then again, Winning is on another level. Sabas Super soft come in 2nd for me. Your thumbs won't hurt at the end of your workout, and they will maintain their durability even a year later like mine have. Just take care of them. Air them out after every work out, just don't leave them out in the sun, and they should last you a long time. Hope this helps bro.
@@ludwingadrian Thank you so much my friend. This is super helpful. Keep well. 🙏
I just ordered the super soft lace up 16 ounce can't wait till they come these gloves are awesome
Nice! I do prefer using the super soft at the moment. The thumb needs to break in lots more for it to be just right though.
nice! they arrive quite quickly and they put a big smile on your face. let me know what the lace ups are like please.
So far I've used them once and they are awesome. The padding is on par with winning. I could really let my hands go and felt secure that they were protected. Overall they feel very good and my hands fit very tightly inside the glove without losing control of my ability to make a knuckle. So far I love these gloves for a third of the price as winnings they are damn near as good
I'm surprised to hear you say the Pro Series for sparring and the Supersoft for bag work. I assumed it would be the other way around. Sabas restocked some velcros yesterday. I had a chance to speak with the owner and he explained to me that there was no difference in the knuckle passing between the 14oz Pro Series and the 16oz Pro Series.the extra two ounces is on the wrist. Any feedback on this?
I've not used the 14oz pro series so I can't comment on the difference between this and 16oz. The cuff on the 16oz certainly has a little bulk to it on the wrist area so that's probably where they put the extra padding. Re sparring gloves: I always use a 16oz glove for sparring so I use the proseries 16oz that I have, not to say that I wouldn't use the supersofts for sparring if they were 16oz too. I use the supersofts on the bag more as they're a little bit lighter (14oz) and I don't feel like I have to wear wraps due to the great hand protection. I tend to hit the bag a lot harder than when sparring. I also have started using the proseries on the bag more as the ss are taking way long to break in.
If you have longer fingers and thumbs I’d recommend the Pro Series. Really about the most comfortable glove I’ve ever worn. They are a perfect fit for me: slightly larger than average hands with longer than average fingers and thumb. My supersofts are just finally about broken in after six months. I have not used them religiously, maybe once a week on average. The hand compartment has never really stretched out. I can wear these with wraps, although they are a little tight.
TxLandman i like to Buy them as a gift for my Boyfriend and i dont know if they would fit on his Hand his Hand + Finger length is 19.8 cm ... could you tell me if they're longer than your hand or not cuz he had problems with the finger length in others gloves .. id like to buy them in 14oz .... would be great if you could help me with this 😊
Perhaps you could help me, with my decision if you don't mind. I'm a barber so the longevity of my hands is very important to me and work. I'd say I hit the heavy bag and aqua bag 85% about of the time, and the other 15% I spend sparring. I appreciate it and great video, you should keep doing reviews!
After much use, I would go for the pro series 16oz as a kind of all purpose glove. I'm still waiting for the supersofts to break in and amazed at how long it takes. I keep going back to the pro series.
RichieRich1402 Thank you, I appreciate your help! I was kind of leaning towards the pro just off the slightly more sleek design. Now excuse me while I go and order some! 😂
NP. you won't regret it! They are a great glove.
How’s people experience on the durability ?
Which gloves have better knuckle protection? Should I go 16 or 14 oz? I'm 5'6 160. Thanks great review!
For more hand protection I would go with the Supersoft as they feel more like a winning glove (soft and protective without being too bulky). Size depends on what you’re using them for. If you want to do some sparring, then I’d go for 16oz as it’s easier on your sparring partners. If just bag work/ mitt work then I would go for 12oz or 14oz Supersoft for your weight. I use the 14oz Supersoft for the bag and they put a smile on my face every time I use them. I’m 6ft and 14.5 stone and wouldn’t go lower than 14oz as when you switch to sparring and put 16oz gloves on you suddenly go up to bigger gloves and your arms will tire out quickly. Good luck - they are awesome gloves!
Great review. Do you have a pair of Grants to compare the Pro Series with or were you just referring to the look? I'm just curious because I've wanted to try Grants just don't want to spend that much before trying them out. Thanks. 👍
Thanks. I've not tried Grants in sparring but I have seen them in the gym and the styling/ padding is very similar, the long cuff etc. I personally am really getting into the pro series. I think they're are slowly breaking in and becoming a very nice glove. I think Sabas have tried to emulate two very good brands, winning and grant and have done a good job, perhaps exceeding in some areas.
RichieRich1402 Wow! I'm super curious about the SS and the PS Sabas gloves now! I did just get a pair of Primes in the mail which I'm not all that impressed with so far. Lucky I got them nearly half off. Lol! But maybe it's because I've used Reyes for years now? I think I'll give the PS a try. Thanks bro! 👍
Good review brotha. Question, which style do u prefer for mitt work? I was looking to get a pair for mitt work and cant decide between the 12oz pro series or super softs, what do u think?
Thanks! I think for feedback I would go with the pro series on pads. There's a lot more give on mits than a heavy bag and its nice to be able to really feel your shots. It also depends on the size of your hands. supersofts are a bit smaller in the hand compartment. If you've got long fingers then pro series better. tbh - I alternate between the pro and supers everyday and I am finding it more and more difficult to chose. They are both great gloves.
Really thats wierd cuz i called this morning and they told me the opposite that in the 12oz at least there is a larger hand compartment in the supersofts.
The proseries is definitely longer. supersofts are tighter, unless they've changed their design, but I doubt it. Even on their website it says this under the glove descriptions. pro series 'accommodates those with long fingers', super soft ' snug fit has your hands feeling right at home'. did you speak to Pedro?
Also is there a reason u went with 14oz supersofts instead of 16oz in those?
That's interesting and worth noting if your anyone else goes for 12oz then. Thanks for letting us know!
Which model would you recommend for someone 190lbs? Mostly bag and mitt work, occasional spars
I love the 14oz super soft for bag work, but if you're sparring I'd go with 16oz. If I could only chose one I'd go for the super soft as it's easier on the hands.
Great advice, thanks!
Which one of the two should i get i am 5'7 112 lb and skinny wrists and forearms and small hands and its for heavy bag lots of rounds
I still really like the pro series. if bag work then 12 to 14 oz. I'd like to try some 12 oz myself.
Hey, how much did you have to pay in customs fees? I'm looking to possibly get some custom primes in the new year ($215), but I'm wary of having to pay through the nose once they get to the UK.
i cant rember the exact amount but it wasnt much. no more than 15 - 20 quid. sometimes you dont have to pay anything if its listed as a guft. luck of the draw i think. i still love these gloves but pro is best for me.
RichieRich1402 Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've been hemming and hawing over which model to go for, and as I'm going to be using them for a combination of padwork, sparring and heavy bag I think the more robust primes are the way to go. Cheers 👍
Are these gloves good squeezy?
What's the quality like? Craftmanship? Could you post a longer review next time?
Veronika Williams I own a pair and these are hands down the best gloves made for the price. These are on the same level as Grant and Winning.
Thanks for the review. How big are you, hands? For bag work which gloves do you prefer if you had to pick 1? Do prefer 14 or the 16 better? Thanks in advance
If I had to pick, it would be the Supersoft 14oz. They feel well protected, light and the profile is good. I don't have huge hands (about 9 inches around the knuckle). They are tight at first but break in. The pro series is better if you have longer fingers. Lots of people rate both gloves. If you have heavy hands and hit hard then the supersoft will protect you. I don't wear wraps with them and my hands are fine.
@richierich1402 which gloves would you recomend for sparing and training
The pro-series is definitely a firmer glove and gives more feedback. It is a little harder on your opponents and hands than the supersoft. If I had to chose one I'd personally go for the supersoft 16oz - they just feel right for me. If you have long fingers I would chose the pro-series. Lots of people seem to like the pro series for a more all round glove. Damn, it's so hard to chose as they are both great gloves. If you want more feedback and space in the compartment then get the proseries. If you want comfort then supersoft.
Thanks i think ill choose supersoft my hands are somewhat not too long
you won't regret it. They are lovely gloves. I mainly use mine for bag work because I can hit hard and not worry about my hands being wrapped.
People say Winning gloves are easier on your sparring partner than something like Cleto Reyes. Would you say the Supersofts are just as easy on your sparring partner as Winning? I spar with my brother a lot, so this aspect of the glove is important to me.
I haven't sparred with my SS as they are only 14oz. They are softer than the pro series so I would say they would be a bit kinder. There is more padding around the knuckle area. Whatever you decide, it's best to get at least 16oz if sparring
What is feedback on gloves im new to boxing?
Feedback on a glove gives you an indication as to how good your punch was. If you have spongey gloves, that have too much squidgy padding on them, then you can hit without really feeling the shot. Gloves with decent padding (not too soft and spongey) protect your hands but also allow you to feel the shot. You can normally feel and hear a pop/ snapping sound when you snap your punches and can tell whether your shot was decent. Also, you can feel which part of the hand you hit with. That's my definition of feedback and what I look for.
Great review. As someone who is prone to a small bit of knuckle and wrist pain which glove would you recommend for the heavy bag. I'm 105kg. Whichever version I go for I will most likely get in 14oz. Thanks
I really like the proseries. They have good wrist support and solid padding. My hands never hurt and I get fantastic feedback. The supersofts are good too, but I find the hand compartment in my 14oz a little small.
RichieRich1402 Thank you for the reply. I might go with the pro series then
How have they been holding up for you?
I really like the pro series! They are my go-to gloves. The supersoft gloves are good too, but I prefer the feedback of the pro series and I'm less worried about hand protection. They've broken in nicely and fit really well.
For the money Sabas are the absolute best and it's not even close.
completely agree. They are awesome.
Im 240 LBS and wanted to know which you recomend for just bag work?
I'd recommend the 16oz pro series. They are my go-to glove now and just feel right for me. 16oz will give you a decent sized hand compartment and protection too. I'm 210 and use 16oz pro most of the time. They will work your shoulders a bit at first, but you'll get used to them.
Thank you very much im from Puerto Rico and heard about these glove from a friend and been really interested on wich would be the best option
I really like pro series now. They just feel right. I'm sure you'll be very happy. Let me know :)
How has the Super Soft hand compartments progressed since this video? Got mine in the mail yesterday, REALLY tight right now
my supersofts are taking a long time to break in. I'm sure they will but hand compartment is still a little tight. I should imagine that using it everyday would break them in more whereas I alternate. haven't tried with wraps yet.
RichieRich1402 just looking out, should always wear wraps for anytime you put on gloves no matter what it is. It's as big as putting on socks before you put on shoes. Lots of things can happen, none of them good. Doesn't matter how big or cushioning it may be. The wraps are made for a reason.
Hey. Yep I agree with you. Socks and wraps are very important.
What size did u get ?
Damn, I've gotta get a pair!
Which ones are best for sparring
without a doubt, my favourite is the pro series for an all round awesome glove. you won't be disappointed.
hows the thumb length on the pro series, just jammed mines with my 16 cletos reyes
The thumb and hand compartment are longer on the pro series than the supersoft. I don't have huge hands and there is still some room so they are comfortable (it doesn't hurt after a while like some gloves). Just wondering now if that's why my thumb attachment ripped on the Reyes - maybe the thumb was too short? the pro series are more comfortable when you first put them (because there's more room) but the leather is still a little bit stiff and needs breaking in, especially at the back of the hand.
What glove has better feedback?
proseries hands down
roctv100 what is feedback??
It's the feeling of impact when you make contact with the heavybag or your opponent.
Might get me a pair
I'm surprised to hear you say that the Cleto Reyes gloves feel pillowing and cumbersome compared to the Sabas. I own a pair of 16 oz Reyes and they don't feel cumbersome to me, but I'm now looking into Sabas pro series for a pair of 12 oz gloves to use on mitts. How have the Sabas gloves held up so far?
The Pro series are my go-to gloves now. I really like them. I'd check about hand compartment sizes if you go to 12oz. I seem to remember someone commenting that they get quite small. I really didn't like the Reyes 16oz sparring gloves mainly because they were about 18oz when I weighed them, they felt cumbersome and things started to break on them (thumb strap, lining etc). Maybe I got a duff pair, but for that money I expected better.
How big are you ?
6ft 14.5 stone. My hands are medium size.
Passing = protection
uuummmm...WHAT??!!?? I have 14oz Reyes, and 16oz pro series Sabas, and they are NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENT!!! Sabas is WAY cumbersome, too high up the wrist, too much padding all over the gloves limits movement, and you cant feel anything when you hit the bag. What are you going on about m8????
I wish I'd kept my Reyes to do a comparison. The 16oz were massive and weighed about 18oz. I wasn't too keen on them and the quality on my pair wasn't great either so I sold asap. Maybe the 14oz are different and you got a better pair? Based on my experience I wouldn't buy them again.
RichieRich1402 I have size M hybrids. They are great all around. compared to Sabas pro series, as I typed before, they are surpier in every way, unless you like bulky gloves with padding everywhere. I love that Reyes only pads the backside of the glove, and the short cuff is the best thing out there.
I’ve not tried the hybrid gloves so I can’t compare. They are lace and Velcro I think so a slightly different glove to a pure Velcro glove. I had the Reyes 16oz (that were actually a massive 18oz) Velcro only sparring gloves. They were awful (like comedy pillows) and the thumb attachment broke and the lining ripped after a few weeks. When you’re paying £220 for a pair of gloves that’s a kick in the nads. I much prefer the super soft and the pro series as they are well made and have a slimmer profile than the Reyes gloves I had. Buying stuff will always be subjective.
RichieRich1402 I think ya got ripped off m8. My Reyes are over a year old and not even frayed stich yet. Lots of good (and bad) fakes out there. Specially over seas which Im assuming is where you live.
They did have the Reyes serial number on the cuff and came with a receipt from a UK retailer so I'm confident they weren't dodgy, just a shockingly over weight with naff quality control. Maybe I'll try the hybrids out someday (if I can persuade the misses to let me buy yet another pair of gloves ;) Sabas supersoft are still the best pair of gloves I've owned so far! (*my opinion of course).

I have wrist pain and somewhat of knuckle which glove would you recommend?
I really like the pro-series. It offers a great deal of protection and just feels right for me. I get very sore fingers and wrists from jiu-jitsu and these are great for protection when boxing.
RichieRich1402 Thank you for the recommendation I really appreciate it
