Best boxing fight gloves according to redditors

The real key to finding good gloves for cheap is that boxing gear is randomly marked down, I at least have gotten some ringside equipment on amazon for half price or less these last couple weeks. (imf pro style 8oz for $28 marked down from $67 and ringside headgear marked down to $11 from $67) Maybe you missed some end of the year overstock sales but really year round there are good options if you're on a budget. There is no reason you should have to buy crap equipment. Your only problem will be identifying what is quality or not so its good you're asking.

These are excellent 8oz for bagwork/mittwork. Really good padding, great wrist support but a tight fit. For me these are my favorite gloves I own and are kinda the gold standard to which I shop for other gloves now.

I don't own any RDX gloves but I was looking into getting these, can't beat that price.

Good brand, great reviews.

There are loads of options out there don't think that you have to buy a glove that costs X ammount. There are great quality gloves (and bad gloves) at all price points. General rule of thumb for me is that ringside is a safe bet but like any other major brand you're paying more for the brand. Stay away from Everlast gloves or any other glove company that makes gloves for casual boxers, you increase the chance of getting some toy feeling gloves. Also once you learn what gloves you like/wtb don't be afraid to search ebay for used.

Lastly if you are a first time buyer, don't be afraid of getting lace up gloves, they have better wrist support which both protects your wrist and feels better. You might need to get used to tying the laces or get help to tie them sometimes but its worth it, 9/10 hook and loop/velcrow gloves dont feel very good on the wrist IMO.

EDIT: Saw the gloves you linked. Don't get those, there are far better, those are like some of the worst you can get. In boxing gloves equipment its actually the brands you don't know that have higher quality per dollar generally. Read reviews and look for people that seem to know boxing/boxing gear.

EDIT2: I forgot to mention I own those gloves you linked as well so I know for a fact they don't feel great. (I've got the 12oz versions wrist feels flimsy and padding is stiff... they just feel cheap. not necessarily absolute garbage, I still use them sometimes and they're not the worst for the price but still they feel like half the glove you can get for just a little bit more. I feel like the $30-50 range is the sweet spot if you know what gloves to look for.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ and don't stray away from the light of God?

Get these in 12 oz

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.

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?

I figure someone is going to ask about my experience with the equipment that I started out with. Keep in mind I don't have much frame of reference, so I can't compare my gear with anything from Twins, Top King, Fairtex, etc...

Venum Challenger 2.0 Boxing Gloves ($48) - These have been my only pair of gloves, and I've been running them a about 4 hours a week. I like that they're longer than some of the other gloves I looked at, which seems to keep my wrists aligned with my fists, and keeps everything supported. The only wear that I've noticed is that a few days ago, I found a small tear in the lining of one of my gloves. I think these gloves are great for someone new to MT, and especially for someone that isn't training a lot. I'm happy with these gloves, and I think they'll last me a year (especially if I pick up a pair of bag gloves). I'm religious about spraying disinfectant on my gear and drying it out between uses, so that may be a factor)

Venum "Kontact" Shin and Instep Guards ($29) - The elastic is still tight after 5 months, and the foam is contouring to my shin nicely. These seem to do thejob, although two days ago I took a hit from an elbow or a knee, and the impact seemed to have penetrated through the foam. My shin feels a little brutalized, so my opinions might be changing about these things. At some point I want to upgrade to the Top King shin guards.

Shock Doctor Gel Nano Convertible Mouthguard ($14) - The guard seems a little bulky. It covers the top teeth, but partially forms to portions of your bottom teeth, so it seems to keep the jaw stable. I still have all my teeth, so that's good.

Ringside Mexican-Style Boxing Handwraps , 180-inch ($7) - I initially bought super cheap, shorter, cotton, Everlast handwraps that were garbage. When I started sweating the Everlast wraps loosened up, and didn't seem to do the trick. My Ringside wraps are awesome. I now have two pairs, and I think I'll sneak a few more into my Amazon basket, the next time my wife wants me to order _____ for the home (certain colors of wraps are an Amazon add-on item, where you need to spend $25 to get free shipping)

(I also recently bought some MT shorts from amazon. I like them well enough, and they're a huge improvement over working out in standard workout shorts. My only problem is that these shorts don't exhibit a competitive level of flair and are completely deficient in dragons and tassels.)

Check out /r/amateur_boxing for lots of helpful tips. Not many of us trolls there, but I like to think I represent well.

Handwraps, specifically mexican style handwraps and gloves. I love Venum gear, but for a beginner, really anything will do. I used the $20 Everlast gloves from Dicks for the first two years. I'd recommend 14 oz or heavier.

Out of curiosity, are you a member at a boxing gym? Thinking of joining? I ask because seriously, good form above all else. I've been boxing on and off for 6 years and the only reason I've stuck with it so long (and gotten pretty good at it) is because of my coaches. I won't get way into it, since this isn't a boxing subreddit, but there is so much more to boxing than just punching things and it is a WHOLE NEW WORLD that awaits you out there.

I wouldn't use lightweight MMA gloves for training on a heavy bag, not even the UFC pros would do that that I've seen. Think more along these lines, at least 12oz

Hmm, not to keen on possibly waiting for over a month, would something like this be decent?

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

Been adding Heavy Bag into HIIT workouts and after a couple weeks decided I'd like to break the bank for some proper wraps and bag gloves. Haven't been able to find a good store nearby, but online selection is pretty good: they have about 3-4 different sets each from TITLE, Ringside, Hayabusa, Venum and Cleto Reyes. Was wondering if I could get some recommendations for those brands.

-8.7'' wrist, looking for 16oz gloves

-Flexible for price, $150/1100rmb max

-6in1ft, weigh about 210 pounds (hence the workout!)

-Training/bag only going 2-3 times a week.


Based on some research/recommendations been looking at this set in particular:

Hayabusa Tokushu

Also choosing between these wraps, not really sure what to look for other than 180 inch.

Fairtex

Ringside

Everlast

Revgear

Thanks in advance!

• Twins Special BGVL-3 - 16oz
  
• Hayabusa Tokushu 16oz
  
• RDX Quad-Kore Leather Training Gloves

sup everybody. I start my first boxing lessons next friday.

So i need advice on two boxing gloves.

First are the Hayabusa Tokushu Regenesis Boxing Gloves: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFIOGHK/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I128KUG5BFJDKV&colid=2GCMKUBNUJTKZ

Second are the TITLE INFUSED FOAM IGNITE CEL-TECH BAG GLOVES: https://www.titleboxing.com/gloves/boxing-bag-gloves/title-infused-foam-ignite-cel-tech-bag-gloves

I save a few bucks on the title gloves. I mainly will need them for mits and the heavy bag. I don't want to buy 2 pair of gloves out the gate, so i was wondering if either of these will give me that 2 for 1. Thanks guys!!

Hey everyone -- I picked up some sweet Hayabusa Tokushu Regeneses off Amazon (on sale from their usual $130) earlier this week. Pretty stoked. I did a lot of research beforehand and read a few reviews that stated cutting the thumb strap was preferable over leaving it in place. Wanted to test the waters and see if anyone else had these, and would recommend one way or the other?

I don't know if they are the same, but I have a pair of these. They are OK starter gloves IMO. Upside: Cheap, and they work for bags and mitts if you are punching properly and not too hard. Downsides: They have little in the form of wrist support and are relatively compressed in the knuckle. I replaced them with these which have a double-wrap around the wrist for extra support.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I have the Regenesis in 14oz.

These Twins BGVL3 or these Venum Elit Boxing Gloves

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

If you really want to train put the injured hand into a glove, something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/RDX-Boxing-Gloves-Grappling-Training/dp/B004WPV4YA/

I've seen a few people train like that. The hand is still pretty much useless but it's protected. No sparring, just drills.

Looking for a pair of boxing gloves for sparring/bag work (16oz). I have a pair of thaismai (from my muay thai days) but I hate the weight distribution. I'm also a broke as student, so I need something cheap. Currently trying to decide between these two:

i) [Venum Challenger 2.0 Boxing Gloves]
(https://www.amazon.ca/Venum-Challenger-2-0-Boxing-Gloves/dp/B00NFE97CK/ref=sr_1_2?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1505052908&sr=1-2&keywords=boxing+gloves)

ii) RDX Ego Boxing Gloves Muay Thai Training Maya Hide Leather Sparring Punching Bag Mitts kickboxing Fighting

I live in Canada and amazon.ca seems like the best option. Do you guys know any other good Canadian distributors for boxing stuff?

Help! Looking to buy a pair of gloves and I can't tell what's best for heavy bag at this price range -

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00D5ZWE1U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EZRUJRI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B006K3ZBCS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

I like having my fingers out, but the pairs without fingers seem a little more professional. What's the consensus for a 60~ dollar pair?

Thanks for the info and in depth response, I appreciate the time. Really helpful!

Here are the gloves I looked at:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00D5ZWD6Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1520372331&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=boxing+gloves&dpPl=1&dpID=51B%2B1oon6yL&ref=plSrch

What size should I be getting? I'm not sure how to determine what I should be wearing size wise

i dont know if the gloves are good or not but i would get 12 or 10 oz
i have these and they are great so far http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5ZWCIU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

While boxing shoes are obviously ideal they wear out pretty fast and are expensive. Converse offer most of the benefits for less money and will last far longer. Just going from Vans to Converse made a big difference for me.

16oz gloves are perfect for bag work, if you're only going to have one pair of gloves get training gloves. Ideally you would have a pair for bag work and a pair for sparring though.

I couldn't find much but Venum gloves are your best bet from what I saw on amazon.com

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Venum-Challenger-2-0-Boxing-Gloves/dp/B0087MLCGY/ref=sr_1_50?ie=UTF8&qid=1416072371&sr=8-50&keywords=boxing+gloves

I don't think the sizing will be that much of an issue, and it also changes based on the size of the gloves.

I highly recommend getting handwraps with some elasticity to them and are 180". I haven't had any hand pain or problems since getting mine.

need new set of gloves for bag/pad work price range 40-100$$

what do you recommend for quality/price over these 3

I've always been happy with Pro Force original leather 16 oz gloves. I'd suggest the 16oz to train in, so that when you wear lighter ones to compete in your fists feel light and fast. Like you said, no gloves last a lifetime but these are great quality and last a good year of training. You don't want to be wearing gloves that you've been sweating for years in anyway. Boxing gloves

Kickboxing is a fantastic workout and classes are usually more fun as there is more variety than, say, a basic strength training or lifting class.

First, in regards to what to expect, I have done a few kickboxing classes - or classes with strong kickboxing elements - and have actually written full reviews of each in case that's useful: Kickboxing CKO, HIIT, Turbo Kick

As far as appropriate dress and gear, the studio will most likely supply any gear you need as a beginner, though you may need additional items down the line. It's possible you will need your own gloves and/or hand wraps, so I would just call to inquire. If you need to purchase your own, I use these which are pretty inexpensive off Amazon and they do the job just great. Clothing wise, I'd advise going with something form fitting. It's likely you'll do some conditioning in your class as well and you'll not want to worry about your shirt riding up and pulling your pants up over and over. But beyond a good fit, you definitely can wear basic items, nothing fancy needed.

Sadly, to your bonus question, I am not gifted in that department so I will leave this to another wonderful lady to provide advice.
