That thumb position is how some schools of Okinawan Karate teach bare knuckle punches because it engages the brachealis muscle in the forearm and the interossi muscles of the hands and metacarpals to stabilize the wrist and hand bones like wraps.
Do these hold well with an elastic lace? I noticed yours didnt wrap around the triple cuff, do you think it would hold better if you did do that? Good enough wrist support for the bags?😁🙏🥊
in the video you said, the padding flattens with time using them on the bag. in the comments you say it could be a myth because they haven't flattened. therefore would you say you can use them on both bag and sparring? (I believe they are intended to be used for both and pads no?)
I've heard that these aren't good for heavy bag training as the the latex is very soft and your knuckles go right through, and that the wrist support isn't very good either so it may injure wrists more easily. Is that an issue for you?
Great channel man. I want a pair of Reyes, but worry about the amount of protection they offer since they are more of a punchers gloves to inflict the most damage possible. Would you say their training gloves offer enough protection for your hands and sparring partners?
My 16oz Reyes gloves feel too small for me. The piping on the thumb compartment is too tight. Would you recommend the 18oz? Will they likely solve this problem? I'm 6'2 210lb
My hand circumference is about 22 cm/8 and a half inches, do you think i should go for 16 oz or 18 oz? I used to have a 14 oz but sold em because it was too thight
I heard that they made a new version of the reyes where the padding is more dense somewhere ard 2012-2013 and like the older version is the one where the padding is super soft, kinda like the everlast mx training gloves. I never owned a pair of reyes from before 2014 so i dont know if this is true
Came here after the Reyes dispute that Mayweather had.. during his Maidana Fight.. his gloves looked like they had no padding in them, in the knuckle area,..i only used Everlast 16 oz, so i thought maybe i might be wrong.. But yeah they did look like they were Tainted after seeing this.. i mainly seen pacquiao and mexican fighters use Reyes, they're called Punchers gloves..and supposedly had horse hair in it.. idk..
What's your opinion on Twins special boxing gloves? I have got their 16oz gloves and planning to use it for bagwork...what do you think? I'm just starting to box
@@ThatBoxingGuy I'm only planning to use them for bag work...but I feel my wrists are too thin for the wrist strap.What to do about that? Also are hand wraps necessary when using the gloves?
Looking for a new pair of 12oz gloves for the heavy bag. If price is not an issue, do you see any benefit getting the cleto reyes over winning? I have never tried a cleto reyes glove and my 10oz winnings feel amazing. Thanks for any input!
That Boxing Guy I’m looking for a more protective glove than my 10oz winning while still keeping it light for the heavy bag. Winning is great but being a Pacquiao fan, a pair of classic red Reyes gloves look sweet.
That Boxing Guy Just the response I was looking for! Will go with the winning and keep those hands protected. Hope to see some Winning glove reviews! Keep the videos coming, really enjoy them!
I just ordered some 18oz red boxing gloves from title.com and they arrived today but they are like perfectly the same of 16oz boxing gloves....sigh very bummed out about this...they were supposed to be my very first 18oz gloves but they are the same as 16oz....

@@crisc.1144 cletos are not good for sparring! The padding is too dense and you don't want to be a dick to your partner. Winnings are the perfect sparring glove but very expensive. Top King makes a very pillowy glove. Twins are pretty soft as well.

Quick question for a friend who wants to get into amateur fights, VENUM HAMMER Pro or this one( both in 16 0z ) for a power puncher(heavy weight guy in HW category , athletic build ) , for heavy bags , mitts and sparring ,both velcro version including thumb support,wrist support, durablity.Which boosts confidence to punch harder you know initially to get that feel for going harder in training as he is trying to climb the ladder in his league. which you recommend overall as you have more experience? For practise sessions obviously as harder the practice easier the fight ! Kindly reply brother!!
i feel like my knuckles on the 16oz are to high on the glove and not quite where they should be ..perhaps the 18 will fit better i dont really have small hands.im 6ft 195lbs ..any suggestions?
Hate to sound like a dick I just want to make sure you know that ounces (oz) is a measurement of weight so 18oz will be heavier than 16oz. Maybe I don’t understand the question or you’re not from the states but just wanted to put it out there.
At the time a used it a lot, bag and sparring. Watching my video now I take back not using the gloves on the bag, they’re actually better because of it
I recently purchased a pair of cletos 16oz, lace up in black and I’m going to work them on the bag so they can break in real good and become soft and I’ll use them for sparring only after that, how long does it usually take to get them soft and broken in enough for sparring? Like a month maybe?
That Boxing Guy yea I want pro gloves that are 12 oz the pro ones but they cost like 170$ currently I have 120$ they’re all horse hair right ? What’s your take on it? Do they land harder ?
That Boxing Guy oh I get it. Doesn’t Manny and Canelo use these gloves ? The ones they use have no padding right ? Just horsehair or am I mistaken I have a fight with someone Dec 25 it’s not official just like a tradition every Christmas. Last year he fought dirty hit me in the face whe we were supposed to touch gloves and he used 10 oz gloves while I used 16 so i want payback. Also I do train so it’s not gonna be just swinging lol. What gives do you recommend ?
That Boxing Guy yea he’s a great coach I’m a very short fighter he said in 3 months I’ll be fight ready I just joined the gym but I’ve been training in different gyms for years now but this is by far the best coach I’ve had I’m learning a lot of new things.
I had these gloves and the stitching gave out around two weeks in. Got in contact with reyes and there're customer services was next to useless not impressed. Everlast mx far more durable and better made.
Reyes are the absolute worst gloves for sparring! Unless your goal is to hurt your sparring partner. And then eventually nobody at your gym will want to spar with you...
It sounds strange but I like the look of used old boxing gloves. Or used heavybags with tape 😂 It has an oldschool feeling to it.
another good review! I've always loved the variety of 18oz gloves....
That thumb position is how some schools of Okinawan Karate teach bare knuckle punches because it engages the brachealis muscle in the forearm and the interossi muscles of the hands and metacarpals to stabilize the wrist and hand bones like wraps.
Interesting, I can actually see that. Thanks for the info👍🏽
Could you maybe do a video where you show us what’s in your bag or what you take to boxing/sparring sessions?
Thanks you for this bro
Great video, bro
I’m 6’3 260. Just ordered some 18oz Cleto’s but I might get the hayabusa’s leather T3 to spar in.
Nice review bro

SO WHICH GOLVES DO YOU RECCOMEND FOR BAG AND MITT TRAINING ?

has cleto reyes fixed the thumb?
when you hit pads with the 18s do they still give a nice hard connection even though you said they are softer?

Do you think 18oz is too big for me? I weight 152 right now but am losing weight

How would you compare these gloves to the Infinitude gloves for bag work/sparring?

For someone who just wants the gloves for training and a bit of sparring would you recommend the “training version” or the “official fight version”?
training cuz the Fight version are only good for abt 30 rounds not meant to last a long time

That Boxing Guy I heard that Cleto Reyes is actually 2 oz heavier than labeled. So the 18 oz is actually 20.
That Boxing Guy I have 20 oz Everlast MX and 16 Oz CR and The CR feels just as heavy so there’s a good chance it’s 3 or 4 oz heavier than labeled.

This dude has some hands.
Lol i used sharpie on mines scraped off the logo more don’t recommend
Do you prefer the Fairtex bgv9 or Cleto Reyes training gloves for bag and mitt work, and which one has better hand protection?
That Boxing Guy Even though the Cleto Reyes are not as good as the Fairtex, do they still have good hand protection?
That Boxing Guy Appreciate the feedback.
Do cleyto Reyes have the same feel to the Everlast Mx
Are you referring to the fight gloves or the training gloves?
@@ThatBoxingGuy training gloves
I haven’t used the new version of the MX, but the old one had a softer foam. Did not feel like Reyes at all.
