I had a pair of 16 oz Winning gloves a long time ago and I haven’t had a glove fit like that in year. But a close second would be my Hayabusa T3 or most Cleto Reyes gloves
Agreed!
do u think the Hayabusas or cleto reyes r better for bag and pads?
Hayabusa 12oz or wich u use for training and sparring
Hyabusa T3 are fucking amazing I duck at boxing I'm brand new 2 it but I'm LOVING my Outslayer bag . best in the world and these 16 oz gloves make me safe and comfortable and the thumb material I can wipe sweat off my face just the coolest part about the gloves . the knuckles are extremely cushioned and the double strap wrist is great my wrist can't curl. I bought some 30 dollar gloves a month ago and I strained my left wrist punching a freestanding bag so I got better gloves and a wuality heavy bag . no more wrist injuries for me 🙂
I just got into boxing recently and this really helps, thank you man and keep making videos
Thank you for the details. Happy to see you liked the Japanese Winning gloves.
Bro looking at the videos i just assumed this channel had like 100k subs at least, 597!!...this channel’s going places
I just love the look of those Hayabusa T3 Punisher gloves😍
Hey Man your Review was so Simple and To the point and i loved it , btw can you also make a video on breaking in new gloves , because my new pair of gloves needs some break in . It would be really helpful.
Thanks for the info, I subscribed
really great vid keep it up!
Good video and break down of the difference brands. 🥊🥊
Glad you enjoyed the video, we'll have more reviews up soon!
Thank you so much for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the various glove overview. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! We're working on a follow up video with a new set of gloves, hope to have it out soon.
@@CombatCultureUSA can't wait! Right now I bought the Super rare One Gel series. I tried them out today. Not sure if you are reviewing those in your next video
Great review
Great video! I'd love to see you review some windy or king gloves
Thanks for the feedback! Putting together a list of gloves for our next video, will definitely add Windy and Kings on there.
Great vid bro very helpful keep
I'm actually loving my Champion (?) Red White and Blue Heavy Hitters 14 Oz in velcro. They're a pretty fantastic Winning clone that's only $130. I just looked at their website and couldn't find my glove available on their website. They're really well balanced and padding is great. My knuckles are never sore. I use the 14 Oz for mitt and bag work. The 16 Oz would probably be perfect for sparring.
Great quality videos! You’ll surely be something big!
Thanks for the support!
@@CombatCultureUSA how good of wrist support is the yokkao gloves?
Thx for this video, you have a new subscriber :) I'm just getting started. I think I'll try the Title classic pro gloves. Would you recommend the version 2.0 gloves which are made of real leather over the synthetic leather gloves you have shown in the video?
Thanks for subscribing. I'm a fan of genuine leather, as they typically last longer and offer better odor control, but if you're just getting started, either one will do just fine!
I'm punching the heavy bag with bag mitts. That and fist pushups have made my hands pretty hard and resilient now I can punch full power in almost anything and not feel pain and discomfort. The old boxers use to punch bags with mitts only so the hands would become hard as stone. For training mitts and sparring i use Fairtex BGV6 and they suit me well.
The ones in the thumbnail are sick!!
Hayabusa T3 were the first gloves I purchased and IMO the best beginners glove. Fantastic wrist support, super snug, and great knuckle protection. Two years later and they are still in great condition. Only problem I have with them is that they don't offer very good feedback. I now use Cleto Reyes gloves just because I like the sound of "pop" when i'm doing bag work haha
I was thinking about getting Grant Professional Boxing Gloves for Competition Fights or cleto Reyes or some rivals gloves but I’m not really sure what’s best for hat work or actually getting in the ring and I’m 15 I don’t gotta lot of money so I wanna make sure I make the right descion.
Similar to most hobbies beginners dont know if they if still do it a year later, so spending 170 bucks is kinda risky. So I would consider cheaper ones for the first 6 months and during that time you can also try out different gloves and finding out what you prefer (oz, wrist protection etc.).
I’m gonna buy the T3 leather, any things I should know before hand?
Nice pair of winnings. One brand that reminded me of the fit, finish and quality of winnings, is a glove from SABAS, but for the fraction of what you’d pay for winnings. My favorite glove for feel and feedback is the Rival RS100 and the venum hammer (signature glove for Lomachenko). Both happen to be very good looking gloves too, if that matters.
I just got a pair of fairtex bgv ones after having some cheap pakistani gloves.. im so stoked to try them next time i go to muay thai class. They fit so good it kinda feels like they been molded on my hands . Also they are maroons such a cool colour!
Subbed!
My venum challenger 2.0's lasted me a good 2 years (training 1-2 times a week), they're definitely great, I have to get new ones though because the velcro isn't keeping up. Other than that, they're fantastic.
have you tried challenger 3.0?
Hey just started getting into boxing/mma and I’m like obsessed. I went from weight training everyday to this everyday and holy crap I literally cannot stop fighting. So onto my question, that is a sick shirt. Can I purchase anywhere?
Hey man! Just ordered the #2 gloves you showed here (Everlast Powerlock). Which one is the one shown in this video? (there's two different kinds, a synthetic leather version and a premium leather version) Also do you recommened using 16 oz while hitting the heavy bag? I weigh 188lbs and my height is 6'0. Thanks!
The one's in the video were the synthetic leather version! I'd recommend 16 oz for bag work / sparring, 12 oz or 14 oz for pad work.
@@CombatCultureUSA do you use the same pair for sparring as you do for bag work? If so that’s a little odd in my opinion.
The power locks were the first gloves I used, and they started to break down pretty fast but I still love the feel of them despite not the best protection
Same! I have been using the Power Locks for the past year and I just upgraded to the Hayabusa Captain America T3 gloves
@@Ratigast99 Are the hayabusas significantly better?
@@bjjchannel Yeah it really is a different world. I ended up buying Cleto Reyes in 14oz also and WOW what a difference gloves make! I would get either the cletos or the hayabusa!
Thoughts on hayabusa s4? Not looking to spend on pricier side but seems like that brand can have longevity, especially if I’m only just starting out and using for training twice a week. Just want to hear your thoughts. This gives me something to think about 😀
Hayabusa S4 is crazy good for the price. The wrist support cannot be beat for the price
Hi, thank's so much for the review! I'm currently looking for a new pair of boxing gloves for kickboxing and I'm still not sure which to buy :/ Do you maybe have some recomendations what I should look out for at around 100$? (Or a bit higher if you estimate it's better to invest some money) Because I'm not sure if I should rather chose Thai or boxing gloves.. Thank's in advance👍🏼
Ring to cage c17 or fighting gloves
At $100 you have quiet a few choices to choose from. Fairtex, Boon, Twins, Yokkoa's are all around that price point on the Muay Thai side, Venum's are more of a hybrid between the two but were my main go to's for a few months.
I'd suggest asking some of your gym mates if you could try their gloves on and see which ones fit your hands the best, and then decide from there.
Let us know what you end up getting!
@@CombatCultureUSA Hey, thank's a lot for your answer! I ended up going with Hayabusa S4's and at the moment they are great👍🏼
I had a pair of those Title gloves, bought them in store before a training session. They were torn at the cuffs within 3 weeks. My hands always hurt even with wraps. And my wrist was consistently under-supported. I do not recommend spending that little money on gloves if you plan to hit the heavy bag hard!
Fairtex and Reyes are close for me. They hurt when you train for a long period haha. You need to get used to the thin knuckle padding. Fairtex got the better wrist support in my oppinion.
My favorite gloves at the moment Fly and Topboxer old school gloves.
What size would you recommend for the hayabusa gloves since they inky come in 12oz and 16oz. Im 200 pounds. And what size were the ones in the video. Thanks!! Subbed!!
We appreciate the sub 🙏🏼. The Hayabusas in the video were 16oz, I’d recommend the same for you as well. Not only will it be better conditioning for you but it’ll last you longer as well. Happy training 👊🏼
I love my Fairtex, Twins, Winning gloves
Hey I just started Boxing around a month ago and I'm thinking of getting Venum Ringhorns, I'm not sure if they are good though what do you guys think?
I'm starting out, wish me luck. Let's gooo
Hey great video, can I ask what weight and brand gloves you use for normal pad and bag work? Boon seems to be a good choice from reviews, would they be a good choice for pad and bag? Yokkao is another brand I am looking at due to my smaller hands, what do you think about them?
12 oz winnings are my go to's. I use my Boon's mostly for sparring, but have done pad work with them on before and they felt great. I spent a few months using Yokkao's and I thought they great. They're smaller than the Boons so they're easier to carry around and will probably fit your hands better.
@@CombatCultureUSA thank you for the reply! The winnings are so nice, especially in the clean white color. How are boxing gloves for pad and bag work? Are they better than traditional muay thai gloves? I purchased the 12oz boon compact due to the positive reviews, as I heard those are good if you want a snug fit. But for my next pair, I might consider a boxers glove in 12oz. I dont plan to compete so I dont necessarily need to train in 12oz muay thai gloves. By the way, do you have any recommendations for shin guard?
Also I made the mistake of buying the buakaw gloves from thailand before. My thumbs are swimming in those! They have a great broken in feeling out the box, but leather quality was not as I expected. Smelled like a new football leather for some reason
Just Venum, never disappointed
I purchased a pair of Venum Devil gloves, I like the cushion for sparring, but the velcro gave out after 4 months, which Venum refuses to help with cause it's past their 1 month warranty. Not saying they're not good gloves, but I'd be wary.
Come across your vid still lian zai 😊respect from old friend!!
Important question to ask is what is your style. I’m a heavy hook .. I use my fore arms to block a lot.. I’m a puncher.. the cleto Reyes fit be best.. Not saying other brands aren’t good it’s just what works for me..
I use the cleto for Muay Thai .. as my sparring glove .. my training glove i use an apex title .. been wanting some venum
Just noticed i have the same glove deodorisers as you, i'm thinking of buying the t3's in the far future.
I have a Question please: I just bought Boxing gloves 8 onz, when I wear them I can feel the heart beat in my hands, is that normal or is this a sign that they are too tight? i wear them without a hand warp. They would never fit with warps, even with thin ones.
Many thanks for your videos, they are great.
About to get started in muay thai training.
Do you know which size is best for me? Afraid 16oz might be too big.. but also afraid 14oz will be too tight if i wear handwraps!! (Im 5ft8 and weigh 150lbs & Im considering the Hayabusa s4 if that helps). What do you think?
For training, you usually want to go with a 12 ounce glove.
I was thinking about getting Grant Professional Boxing Gloves for Competition Fights or cleto Reyes or some rivals gloves but I’m not really sure what’s best for hat work or actually getting in the ring and I’m 15 I don’t gotta lot of money so I wanna make sure I make the right descion.
my winning gloves are in the mail. I'm getting older and noticing my wrist can't keep up anymore. At least that's the excuse i told myself to justify ordering them. Super fucking stoked to try them on
How is it going with the gloves ?
I think rival makes the best all around gloves protection for knuckles protection for wrist quality and durability many other gloves offer protection in the knuckles a lot like winning and not really the greatest wrist protection then you have gloves like Reyes that are probably the best quality with the least protection for knuckles. But boxing gloves are a lot like shoes just depends what you like and how they make you feel
Exactly, gloves definitely aren't one size fits all. We'll be reviewing Rivals in our next video!
Hi could you please do a review on 3xsports boxing gloves
You did not cover the Grant boxing gloves, which are expensive, but of great quality.
I've been learning to box since Feb this,year and I swear by rdx gloves
My favorite is Cleto Reyes
Hello, I like your video about gloves. I have a problem. I am 171 cm tall and weigh 76 kg. I don’t know if CLETO REYES’s magic carpet gloves use 12oz or 14oz. Could you please give me some suggestions? thank you
Do you have merch?
Its pretty hard to find in México brands like grant, rival or winning but you Can buy a cleto reyes for 100 usd shippment include or casanova for 70 dóllars
Where from? Do you know a website? Thanks
@@huydo4373 in mexico, you can find cleto reyes in mercado libre around 100 usd with shippment, or casanova on its facebook fanpage 70 plus shipment, also you can try on cleto reyes official page
What boxing gloves would you recommend? Now I have venum, it didn't even last a year, it's falling apart. The stuffing is very soft. I'm thinking 10 OZ. Ben Lee, adidas? Katsudo? Price around 60 euros.. Thank you
So, I know people prefer different weight gloves for different things. I have two pairs of 16's but I've heard people say you should bag work with lighter weight gloves or hand wraps from time to time on the bag to improve form and strengthen your knuckles? what weight should I be looking at? 10 or 12 oz gloves?
12
If you're less than 65kg (140lbs) I will even recommended you to try some 10's
There are otherways to strengthen ur wrists and knuckles. I recommend using the heaviest gloves u can find(16) to Develop power and endurance in those shoulders to begin with, because later when u switch to lighter gloves ur speed and power will be insane.
The punisher gloves look sick
Definitely my favorite design from Haybusa's Marvel line, although the Venom gloves look pretty good too
@@CombatCultureUSA i just ordered the black panther's one. they look really fucking neet imo
I’m 5’9 and 152 with probably a little smaller than average hands, I’m looking at yokkao 14oz, would that be a smaller glove for a good fit? And be allowed in western boxing since it’s a Muay Thai glove?
The Yokkao's I have are 12oz and they fit pretty snug, and I don't have large hands either. I think with hand wraps on, you should be fine with 14oz Yokkao's. To answer your second question, you should be fine to spar / train western boxing with Yokkao's, competing would be a different story and up to the folks holding the event (and you'll likely need 16oz).
Hope that helps!
What brand of boxing gloves are you currently loving?
Winning
Sabas Supersoft
have had the no boxing no life gloves (16 oz) for about 3 months and they are great one of my favorites pairs next to my cleto reyes
@@trowabarton4840 Haven't tried Sabas myself, but a lot of my training partners have and they love them! Definitely on my shortlist of gloves to get next.
@@diegoortega3584 I've been hearing more and more about the NBNL gloves, gonna have to look into getting a pair
You think a pair of Reyes will work for Muay Thai sparring and training? I saw a good deal for a pair on offer up.
For sure, there's ton of members at my gym who spar / train with Cleto's. Just be aware that there is a break in period, how long, differs from person to person. Great gloves all around!
Does the brand matter a lot? Or should I look for any type of brands?
Question: Shipped to my door the Cleto Reyes Training Gloves is about $70 more than a pair of Hayabusa T3 (regular version). I'll be using them for basic boxing training (no sparring), which would buy? I know it's personal choice just curious what your personal choice would be.
I'm 5'7" 150 lbs if that helps any
I think the T3 are a better value but I’ve never owned a pair. I have 5 year old pair of cletos that feel like they are about done. You almost have to have bring 2 gloves to the gym for awhile to break the cletos in because your hand will start hurt after a couple of rounds. I would estimate the cletos need probably 72 rounds on the bag to break in
What oz was the winnings you showed us in the video?
12 oz
Do you recommend the fighting furys
Haven't had a chance to try Fighting's yet, but they're on my list of gloves to review for the next video!
I'm deciding between Fairtex BGV1 and Cleto Reyers. Can you please tell me which one has a snug fit from inside? Is Fairtex smaller externally but bigger inside?
I'd say the Cletos over Fairtex. My hand tends to float around when using Fairtex gloves.
@@CombatCultureUSA thanks for your reply. I ended up buying both. The Fairtex BGV1 is a little bigger than the Cleto Reyes Precision Gloves. The BGV1 Falcon is softer with thinner leather. The Reyes are real thick but after some Vaseline it's more comfortable. Cleto weight is more accurate than BGV1, which is 2oz overweight. I'm keeping both.
hello i have a question about the hayabusa's gloves, i want to ask that can i use that for doing muay thai clinch or like catching kicks?
Hey! I've used them for sparring and had no trouble with clinching or catching kicks. They are a bit stiff compared to some other gloves I've used (Fairtex, Winnings, Boons), so you can't open your hand as much, but not enough to cause any issues. Wrist support is great, but taking them on and off can be a pain because of the double straps.
@@CombatCultureUSA thank very much
Where can i get the Hyabusa's, Cleto reyes, or winnings for a decent price in the UK?
So Fairtex is the smallest/most compact 16oz gloves?
I can clearly see that the twins are very thickly padded, are they wide? It will be difficult for the stabbing blows to penetrate between the two hands of the one and a half.. Doesn't it bother you that the gloves are so thick?
Im going to get the CLETO
What boxing gloves where you can make a tight fist wearing it?
my favorite sparring gloves are topboxer win1 really soft padding perfect for sparring, good wrist support too. only 110 USD
Underrated gloves, one of the best at that price point for sure.
I like my Fairtex but I might need to upgrade soon. They got smelly bcus in the beginning I didn’t take care of them lol
Let us know if you need help picking a new pair 😎
Hands wraps help with that. They are what sticks are to shoes. You don't want to smell your shoes after wearing them without socks lol
Get glove deodorant
Torres Medina gloves. I love them more than my Winnings.
I've heard nothing but great things about Juan's work, have never seen or tried a pair in person, but it might be time...
I have everything from title to winnings and reyes but I've never had TM. I did see a revue in some custom python leather Torres Medina gloves and they look awesome. I wouldn't buy a pair right now because I'm still waiting for some custom winnings that have been taking forever to be shipped but I would definitely consider TM if I hadn't.
I have Winning as well and can hardly beliefe that I will ever love any glove more than them, but I will order TM Boxeo soon and we will see :) The communication with Juan is great so far! Absolutly perfect service
"It feels like you're punching pillows...and I mean that in a good way."
😄😄😄
Which glove did he say that for?
Are all of those gloves yours?? are they all 16oz all??
I use this brand called lionsdale they are 16oz Velcro and everytime I hit the heavy bag my wrist hurt sometimes even my hands
if i’m getting fairtex bgv1 and i’m 5’10 165 should i gets 14s or 16s for a training glove
Yokkao for the win 🙏🏽
I’m definitely on my moving past Everlast phase rn ..I’m undecided between Reyes or Haybosa
Both are good brands, and their price points are pretty similar.
Reyes are great for boxing, but break in period is pretty rough. Not much to choose from in terms of designs, but punches feel amazing with them on.
Hayabusas have little to no break in period, and more designs to choose from. The ones I have are pretty snug but I think the ventilation can be better. They do offer some of the best wrist support available.
Can’t go wrong with either brand, let us know which one you ended up getting!
@@CombatCultureUSA thanks for even more help!!
What hand wraps do you recommend? thanks-
I haven't found the "perfect" pair yet, but I've been using Title and Ringside for a long time.
When I first started I was hitting the heavy bag with 8oz cletos..hand felt like they was on fire afterwards
Cleto reyes, top boxer and fortress are the ones I'm looking at. I need a pair for sparring and a pair for bag work. Which would you recommend?
you need to try "ringside" brand laced gloves for sparring , people be sleeping on these gloves , so comfortable and doesn't have your hand feeling cuffed like cleto reyes , also "winning" brand are good too , they are very safe for your hands
Out of the three, I've only used Cleto's and I break them out on occasion but for whatever reason, they don't fit my hands well. However, I have a lot of training partners who spar / train with Cleto's exclusively, so if I were to recommend, i'd have to say Cleto's.
I’m 6’1 and 120 lbs (so I’m skinny af) and I currently use 14 oz for sparring/ pad work but they feel too heavy. Should I go for 10 oz?
Definitely don’t go down to 10oz. 140oz should be fine. Keep training and you’ll build up some muscle so they wont feel as heavy.
I’m 5,10 and 130lbs and I’ve used the same pair of 16 oz for sparring for ab 2 years and it just takes a bit of getting used to.
I really don't know whether to go for boon or cleto reyes. If they are comparable then I'll go for Boon coz of the price, but if Cleto Reyes are noticably better then I'm willing to pay more for the better quality
Did you purchase the boon gloves? If yes, how is your experience with them :)
@@samuelhoffmann9504 got the cleto's pretty great
@@harryflowerdew5186 Hey bro where did you get your cletos from I know theres a usa site but I live in a different country and the shipping fee is 215 dollars so I’ve been looking for another place that sells authentic and not fake ones but haven’t had any luck do you know any places I could buy them?
Any suggestions for women? I am currently using fairtex 16oz and find my hands get sore after heavy bag work. I was thinking maybe my hand wrapping could be the issue too. Maybe I need to go more snug. Thanks for your videos!
I tried fairtex 12oz and they were so huge on my hand & wrist, can't imagine a 16oz. Hope you found something better now. Some women at my gym have the Cleto Reyes and I switched to Society Nine (women brand but discontinued this year)
Can you tell me what is quality of Leone Boxing gloves leather. Is it ok or not.
Hmm, I've never tried those before, so I can't speak on the quality of the leather.
does anyone actually recommend twins or yokkao for just solet boxing and heavy bag work.
What about Onyx gloves greated by Trevor Wittman?
I bought Venom elite and the thumb padding on my fingernail made it numb
No rivals that’s shocking other than winning they might be my go to
I still use 10 dollar glove, can't afford more 😂 but love watching all gloves video
I have 14 years 77 kg 1.80cm what gloves do you think is good for me?
If im doing heavy bag workouts, sparr, and pad work, can a 10oz work? Or 12
10 / 12 for bag and pad work, I'd recommend 16's for sparring
Are all those gloves 12oz?
so which one you recommend ? i have the Yokkao in 14 and they are really comfy only the velcro is very weak
The Fairtex are pretty similar and hold up well. They recently released some new designs, too. I would check those out if you're looking for something different!
Had the T3 didn’t like em, because of the double strap, have the Rayes 14 oz yeah long break in … have the PRO-MEX love em my go to gloves, but now I want the Winnings gloves white looks hella kooL
We got similar taste bud! The fairtex, yokkao and hayabusa lol
I use Venum Elites as of right now, looking to get a 2nd pair!
What oz you advice to get
@@shaywelch9097 16oz for endurance and cardio, 12 oz for skill practice and speed. 14oz for both.
