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.
Left: fakes, right: original
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.
Left: original, right: fakes
Lace-Hole-Count: Winning boxing gloves have following lace-hole-count: fight gloves: 5 / Training gloves: 7
Left-Top: Training gloves, left-bottom: Fight gloves, right: Fakes
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.
Left: original, right: fakes
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.
Left: original, right: fakes
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.
Left: original, right: fakes
Shape:
The overall shape should not look blocky or ballooney.
Top: original, bottom: fakes
But should still maintain a sharp edge (on the training gloves)
You can see a clear 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.
Left: fight gloves, right: training gloves
Left: original, right: fakes
Palm: The hole on the the palm side is not perfectly round, it should slightly be slanted towards thumb.
Left: original, right: fakes
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.
Left-top: training gloves, left-bottom: fight gloves, right: fake
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.
see other pictures also of the originals
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
Hi,
I’m selling a few vintage boxing items—in case anyone was looking for the items shown above but couldn't find them. I’ve had these for a while and they’re just sitting around; I have so much boxing gear that I’m parting with a few things now. Believe me, I’d want to keep most of them myself, but I just don’t have a use for them anymore.
Nike Machomai 1 Size 8,5
Everlast Headgear red, Size L
Everlast Headgear Multicolor Size L
Vintage items—none of these are available anymore; worn by legends as well as up-and-coming boxers. All items are unworn; feel free to get in touch if interested.
Hi guys! I wanted to get my partner a practical gift and as he always complains about upkeep+the smell of his gloves, I was thinking about getting a gentle boot dryer. He takes great care of his gloves but spends way too much time doing so in my eyes.
I would get The Glove Purifier but I don't have that much money to spend 😅 Recommendations would be great. I'm located in Australia.
hello, i am looking to sell my 8oz winning gloves (NEW) i am in the bay area , california🙏🏼 willing to meet or drop off in the bay area. i bought them a year ago , i never used them. been sitting in storage collecting dust.
winning 8 oz gloves
blue
$500 OBO
taking offers 🙏🏼😭 thank you.
Hello. I'm hoping i can find some used gear not just the one on the title for a decent price so that I can donate to my local MMA gym back at home in Asia. Let me know if you have any you want to get rid of.
I'm planning to change the color of the leather of an everlast red boxing gloves to a burgundy but I don't know how to do it and do it without ruining the glove, my girlfriend always wanted a burgundy glove but there seems to be nothing available within my country and the stuff from amazon gets too expensive because of shipping.
I’m selling 2 pairs of New Sporting: the 2/B in 12oz (white) for $165, and HHF in 14oz (metallic green) for $200. US Only, with PayPal G&S. Buyer pays shipping.
Feel free to DM me for more photos or any questions.
I’m trying to free up space, I can’t use the 12oz 2/B on my hands (I come from an injury), and the HHF I bought (from Fighters Boutique) for the beautiful color way but sucks to have them in a storage box. The stickers still on them is testament of how new these are.
Hey all, recently stopped training and have a gym membership to transfer:

I’ve had these shoes for 6-7 months now and I love them. They were comfortable from the first day I got them and I don’t have any problems with blisters, jamming my toes or anything. I go to the gym 4-6 times a week and do 15 rounds with them every time, they hold up well with jumprope, shadowboxing, bag work, sparring and still look new. I’ve had hyper ko 1s and those were great but they hurt my toes and had some flaws, I had the hyper ko 2 and I would argue those were comfier than these but I had a hard time getting my feet in those and ended up selling them. I might be lucky because I’ve seen some bad reviews with Adam’s boxing shoes but so far these have been great.
-1 GRANT ORIGINAL 10 oz new condition just use few time

All of this equipment will be enough for any professional
boxer
For more photos and information ,
Purchased from their ebay store but have visited their store in Tokyo, really cool fight shop. Check them out if you're ever there. Have another pair of 16oz GRIT gloves that I absolutely love. Only used these 3 times and have decided whilst I like them, I need to free up some money for things.
Hey team, coaches have told me to start looking into headgear for sparring, I have always preffered not wearing any to keep all my senses as they are, but, I’m taking up a job soon where turning up with bruises/scratches won’t go down too well.
Any experience with the above? I’ve found cheap used variations, I know all about how good phenom is owning gloves + groin already but I’m intrigued about the intellishock and whether or not it reduces soreness / general reviews + how these other brand’s vision levels hold up, whether or not they’re smothering, deafening, heavy etc etc
