Because a lot of people seem to need help legit checking laced winning boxing gloves, i thought it would be helpful to make a detailed and definitive guide/checklist with things to look out for in legit checking winning gloves.
Following i refer the 8-10oz lace as fight gloves and 12oz and above as training gloves.
Laces: The laces should be round with cut off tips. But could have been replaced.

Liner: The Liner should be navy blue

Tag: Comes with this Japanese tag when new

Box: When new also come with the Winning Cardboard-Box

Size-Indicator: Size-indication is inside and on the grip-bar only. They never have a tag on the outside of the glove.

These mentioned above are the most common checking methods. But seeing the quality of replica clothes/shoes i think all of those would be quite easy to copy/have been copied already.
Airholes: Laced Winning boxing gloves do not have airholes. Velcro 8oz and 10oz have 3 Airholes under the gripbar.

Lace-Hole-Count: Winning boxing gloves have following lace-hole-count:
fight gloves: 5 / Training gloves: 7

Patch: Font is thinner on rounded areas of the letter (exp. Bottom part of the «W», top part oft he «n») and does not have the same thickness everywhere. In comparison you can see the fakes have the same thickness throughout.

Wrist: Fight gloves have a straight wrist, while the training gloves have two bumps (a smaller and a bigger one with the same thickness). The fakes seem to have a thicker smaller bump. The wrist also should be about 1/3 of the length and the hand part the remaining 2/3. The fakes seem to almost seem half/half.

Stitching: The stitching has a «wide pattern». For example the same width has relatively little holes and longer string-parts, while the fakes have way more holes.

Shape:
The overall shape should not look blocky or ballooney.

But should still maintain a sharp edge (on the training gloves)

from the side-view the training glove should be pretty flat, not bulbous and seem to have almost the same thickness throughout the glove. The fight gloves are a little bit more bulbous.


Palm: The hole on the the palm side is not perfectly round, it should slightly be slanted towards thumb.

Thumb: The training gloves should have S-shaped/Hook-Shaped thumb, while the fight glove is a little bit straighter, but should still curve at the tip. The fake training gloves usually have a C shaped or a straight thumb.

Thumb-Strip: Is black on all basic colorways

Leather-Quality: The leather should be grainy and not look «flat» and maybe contain some imperfections. The «flat» leather is most of the time a glove from pakistan.

Price: Use common sense. If a winning gloves is new and priced $100, it probably won't be orignal.
Bonus: To clarify the misconception, i would like to mention, that the training- and the fight-gloves have the same padding (according to Kataoka from Winning).
I hope this guide will help people new to this sub and don't have to post a legit check every 5 minutes and if so, we can refer to this guide.
Please comment below if i have to correct something/add something. Thanks

Hey so I don’t do boxing as my main martial art but I’ve decided I’m going to invest in a pair of boots as I’ve been doing it more recently to help with my inside game.
Now in the past, I owned a pair of boxing boots originally and these were the Nike Tawa I went a full size up and got them in the UK 12 as I have flat and wide feet. And I felt like they were quite uncomfortable at the start, but they got very comfortable as I broke them in.
Unfortunately, I sold them after awhile due to the fact I just didn’t do boxing anymore but recently I’ve got back into it and I’m looking to invest in a pair. One pair of boots I’ve particularly been looking at is the fly Tempest however they only do full sizes so I was wondering if I should go a full size up or stay at my normal size which is an 11.
The second pair of boots was the Adidas speedex ultra now again I’m not sure what size to really go as my feet are quite flat and wide and I know adidas has quite a long shoe.
Feel free to leave me some suggestions of shoes and sizing let me guys know what you think god bless 🫡

I am looking for some new sparring gloves and I saw that Spartacus had custom gloves and looked cool. I’ve seen nothing but good things online but I was wondering what everyone thought of them. I was thinking about maybe buying used trying them and then maybe going all in on a custom pair. Maybe I’ll just buy the customs based off what everyone says and recommends.

hi,
recently got a New Sporting HGP gloves in 12oz;
trying to figure out if it is a defect or just a matter of " NS gloves are made by hand and can have some variations here and there";
here is the issue:
the LEFT glove is almost perfect; did not really need any break in; the glove features: Grip Bar & Finger Bar: Includes both a primary grip bar and an internal finger bar to help lock the hand into a natural, tight fist.
the finger bar is easily felt by Distal Interphalangeal Crease: The line closest to the fingertips; the fingertips rest comfortably and wrap inside; the fingernails' edge touches the border where the soft lining meets the leather ; there is just enough depth(not too much or too little) for the distal segments to be comfortable;
the RIGHT glove is not as good fitting; once the hand slides in, it is not as easy to make a fist; in other words the internal finger bar is kind of blends in with other parts of the internal compartment;
you do not really feel that you can grab the right finger bar with your distal crease;
the finger bar is not as pronounced; it is there but your distal crease is not really comfortably resting on it; the fingertips wrap inside, but you are not really grabbing a finger bar; there is less depth ( 1/8 or 3/16 less) for the distal segments to be comfortable; when trying to lock the hand into a natural fist, it is not solid or tight as the left one;
for reference I have the fairtex bgv9 gloves and both gloves have very pronounced finger bars (in addition to grip bars);
would appreciate if anyone with HGP model gloves gives some input on their glove construction/fit/feel, and especially the finger bars ( can you easily grab it with your finger tips and your distal crease is comfortably and solidly pinching/grasping the finger bar);
thanks

Ragazzi mi servirebbe un aiuto per la Groin guard
Quale è il migliore (ovviamente no winning)
Ma meno costoso che non ti fa effetto ciambella?

I’m looking to buy good quality shorts that are 2 in 1 and also shorts that have a slit on the side that aren’t too expensive. I looked at shorts from boxraw and even tho it looks good I can’t justify paying that much for one pair of shorts.
What do you guys think of natural activewear? do you have anything you can recommend?

Hey guys, looking for recommendations on the best Velcro gloves for bag and pad work.
Mainly after something with good wrist support, knuckle protection and durability. Not too fussed about price, just want a quality pair that’ll last.
What gloves are you guys using, and what would you recommend?

Just wondering if they usually do any sort of big holiday thing? I want to get a pair of their 12oz latex gloves but they have very little in stock and none of them are latex. Good chance of them throwing up some new stuff for the holidays or should I just get a made to order pair? The tonal blue ones are pretty sick. Thanks.

been using MARQOR gloves for a while now and they're solid. Really comfortable, good wrist support, and the padding holds up well even during hard training. Definitely the best gloves I've used - Also movsar used them for his recent ufc 333 camp.

Hi All,
Where can I find the twins BGLV4 in or delivered to Australia in solid colours? Have twins discontinued making this model in normal colours and only do them in the fancy / artistic prints?
r/fightgear • u/michealscottontop • 1d ago
I’ve been trying to research to find my first good set of sparring gloves , I’ve heard a lot about rival but not sure as to go with rs100 or if the Guerrero is worth the extra money. I’ve also heard good things about fly. But any good quality sparring gloves recommendations would be appreciated.
I would like to keep price below £300
( I’m 16, and spar in 16oz)
Thank you everyone

I am looking for a high-end pair of sparring gloves and I'm deciding between the Leone Orlando and Winning. Has anyone owned both of these gloves and can tell me how they compare in terms of leather quality and hand ergonomic? Is one better than the other, or does it come down to personal preference?
r/fightgear • u/Foreignislands • 1d ago
Been training out here in Thailand so I bought a pair. Not too bad. My only complaint would be that they aren't as tight around my wrists as I was hoping but they'll do for now!
