    Reyes gloves not good for muay thai

    I recently bought a pair of Reyes but quickly sold them. One of the things I didn't like was the lining. It looked very light and I didn't think it would last. Also, there is a weird step on the inside where the wrist padding meets the backhand padding. My fingers caught in it a few times. The...

    Review of 14oz Winning Gloves: The Velcro paradox

    Got my 16oz velcros this week. Surprise, suprise - Winning gloves are wonderful! Strap looks pretty flimsy and no padding on inside, but wasn't an issue in the few spars I've had. Can't wait to put them through their paces...

    Fake Cleto Reyes

    Sorry, you're not right. These are fake.

    Battle of the best boxing gloves: Cleto Reyes vs Winning

    Nice comparison. I've been harbouring thoughts for a while now to go either Cleto or Winning, and so, two weeks, I went for 16oz Reyes Velcro. But when I got them, I just didn't love them. And for the money, I want to love them! But for me, I thought the wrist was too large & padded, and...

    Winning Boxing Equipment from America Ya in Japan 2.0

    I'm not sure if these are different or the same, but neither of them are the 'regular' MS-600B. These soft type are in stock. It's the MS-600B that are sold out.

    On May 2, I'm not saying who'll win...

    Agree with Strats view. Watching first few rounds of Mayweather v Cotto shows that Floyd can nullify any attack - if he chooses. I think the Maidana fight was misleading. I think Floyd actually decided to exchange with him for the public. Had he decided to outbox Maidana, he could have. And I...

    Winning Boxing Equipment from America Ya in Japan 2.0

    These are the extra soft type sparring glove PS-16B. I was looking this week to buy Winnings and had to get this clarified. Unfortunately, the regular Velcro glove MS-600B is out is stock in both Koubudo & America Ya, with a 4 week wait. So I paid $325 on ebay to get a pair sent out right...

    Post Your Gloves/Gear

    Been a while since I posted on here. Was organising my stuff, so decided to take a picture! This is the gear I use all the time. All the rest is in a bag in the attic - Forgotten about! I'm happy with this lot and it's all holding up really well. No plans to add to it any time soon......

    FG-2900 Review

    I'd get the leather! I've been using mine for a few weeks now. Great padding and really light, and I love the clip. But the synthetic leather gets really hot. The sweat runs in my eyes. It can be distracting. The other thing I'm not won on is the large cheeck protectors. Great nose...

    FG-2900 Review

    I got an exchange - it arrived earlier this week. Email response was a bit slow, but once I had provided a few more pictures, Steve Mitani sent out a replacement with no problems. It didn't affect use while I had it, but when you spend that kind of money on the premium brand, you expect...

    Sting Aiba

    Oh God. Those look worse than I thought! I've been saying for ages, AIBA seem only to consider knuckle padding when it comes to gloves and nothing else. Thumbs are always terrible, but these seem to take it to a new level.... I've got the Ulsters coming up. Never thought I would be hoping to see...

    TOP BOXER Custom Winning Clones with Triple Cuff (10/10)

    Nice review - thorough! They are lovely gloves. I have to say, I'm a big fan of the classic styles and colours. From the description, and even by looking at the pictures, I'd say it's the same padding as my pair. And you'll not be disappointed. Padding is as good as Day 1, and the EVO on...

    FG-2900 Review

    Ok - the first picture wasn't very clear! If I gently squeeze the cheek, you'll see that the material is coming away from the padding. It must be the adhesive that is failing. I'm suprised & disappointed, considering the price and reputation....

    FG-2900 Review

    I got one of these a few days ago, and it is fantastic in many ways. I love the weight, the padding, the fit, the clip

    ** TOPBOXER Custom Boxing & MMA Equipment v2 **

    Right, right & right! I think it was a new combination he tried, so not sure of the actual composition.

    Anyone have any experience with Farabi boxing gloves?

    Never seen them before. And now that I have, I feel like I've been punched in the head!

    Sting Amateur Gloves

    I know. It's crazy. The strange thing is that these AIBA brands - inlc. VELO, Adidas etc all offer 'Pro-style' gloves on their websites, for which the thumbs look decent. So if thumb position is a factor in pro-style gloves, why not in amateur gloves?

    Everlast MX 16 oz Training Gloves Review

    Thanks for clarifying! Those Pro Fight MX look mean! I recall Maidana griping afterwards saying they felt like pillows!
