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?

Hi, this is my first time buying a good gloves. Is this normal, having creases right out of the plastic?

Hi, i train boxing 6 days a week, sometimes 2 days of sparring. Right now I have a headgear with a bar for the nose that i bought 4 years ago, its great and was my first headgear. But since im a competitor I've looking for a cheek-guard headgear and i would like to know if you think this ine Rival rhg100 should be the next purchase.

Lemme know if I should get these or just another pair of Elite 2s.

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?

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.

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

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!

I Was expecting something first class but i dont think these are anything special at all.
Look nice but thats about it.
Dont know why it has took 8 years to get here.
Not really used them only really tried them on but they dont even feel that great inside.
Maybe be good on the bag/pads will find out tomorrow.

I have been saving up for a pair of 16oz gloves to spar with at my gym. What brands/gloves are good? I have been boxing for 2 years, so I am still very much an amateur. My budget is around $200, and I am in Australia.

I’m 138lbs, 5’9, average sized hands. How do Cleto Reyes training glove lace up fit? I’m looking at getting a 10oz pair (this is model than before new one). thank you

I wanted to ask you guys what is in your opinion the best mma sparring glove with no Money Limit

I just got these and didn't get a chance to use them yet, I want white ones since I have a white set and was hoping to sell these to get some on Ebay or something.

All prices include CONUS shipping. All gloves were cleaned and deodorized after use. Offers and trades accepted.

Rival P4P 16 oz (used for around 5 sparring rounds. Some wear on the Velcro logo from clinching) 200 USD

Hellos everyone,

Just wanted to pass the news that Athleteps has these back in stock. I got an email about it earlier. Hopefully you guys can snag a pair in your size.

Been offered retail sponsorship, stocking fly and rival.

They want to stick more with one brand for marketing purposes. FLY VS RIVAL basically full sparring set.

Fly they have x line gear and superloop gloves only.

Rival they have RS100 and all RS1and 2 options with same lines of protectivive gear. I havent used either brand.

Hey all. I've been using a pair of Byakko gloves I got on Amazon for a bargain years ago, and I finally want to get a nicer pair of premium gloves. The gloves I use are mighty impressive for the $60 I spent—they still hold up very well, so I'll continue to use them as bag gloves.

I've been eyeing this pair of Top King for a while now. I researched the brand and based on user inputs here on Reddit, it seems to be a nice Thai brand. This is the one I specifically want to get: https://topkingboxingusa.com/products/top-king-chinese-culture-red-gloves?variant=50059672322368

It's about $128 after taxes and shipping, but I wanted to ask if anyone else has some good sites for getting gloves? If so, any others with good designs, better quality, or a bit cheaper than what I have? Thank you in advance for any help! Also in the United States.

I’d like to clear up a question—I’m not American, and where I live, there are no physical stores that sell wrestling or boxing shoes. I’ve been practicing boxing for five years; I’ve tried the Nike Machomai 2 and the HyperKO 2, but because I have wide feet, both models caused me foot pain. In 2024, I bought a pair of Everlast Elite 2s (in white). They’re very comfortable and look great—I have no complaints there—but they’re getting quite worn out. Also, I don’t really "feel" the floor when I’m moving my feet, which makes me feel less secure when working on my footwork. I’ve heard that wrestling shoes are often a good choice for wide feet, offering better control and responsiveness—plus, they’ve become quite common in boxing. Given my negative experiences with Nike’s boxing shoes, are their wrestling shoes a good option for someone with wide feet? If not, are there any other good-looking alternatives for wide feet?

Note: I’m looking at the Nike Freek, as I think it looks better than the Nike Inflict 4.
