I watched your other video on the best under $100 boxing gloves, and I liked what you said about the Revgear S3 sparring glove. I was on their website and I saw those Original Leather Boxing Gloves of Revgear and I loved them. The reason why I didn't get the S3 is that it said sparring and as a beginner, I want to start with bag work. Watching this video, it seems they are good for Muay Thai too which is something that I'm also contemplating getting into, so I'm glad I made the right decision. It also helps that I am not too big (5'8 at 140 lbs of lean muscle) and these gloves don't seem too big like Juan said. When I have the money for some sparring gloves, I'll probably go with the S3, although it seems they're good for sparring based on this video anyway.
can you do a review on venum oh and btw i normally weigh around 74 kg but i usually fight in the 70 kg weight class do you think i should buy the fairtex gloves
Great video, thanks
Which is the model of the Twins in the review?
Hey,
why didn't you review Boon? I see that you have them.
Fairtex BGV1s are more of an all purpose training glove, better suited for hitting the mitts, heavy bag, and light sparring/between those of smaller stature and weight. The Fairtex BGV5s and BGV6s are more of a dedicated sparring glove that offers much better protection for both the wearer and their sparring partner.
Hi, I’m shopping on your site right now. I’m confused as to what to get because you talk about the fairtex being a “small guys glove” and the last three being “larger guy glove.”
What about for a 5 5” 110 lb woman, would you still favor rev gear/danger or go for fair tex? Thanks!!!
Is there a difference between 12 and 16oz BGV1 in terms of hand compartment? What about using 12oz on a heavy bag, do they have enough padding and support to hit it hard? Any advice? I wanted to use a 14oz BGV1 for the heavy bag. But at the same time I want to work on speed and so I prefer the lightest glove that still gives enough support and padding so that I can still use it for power work.
Took a chance and ordered those Revgear Original gloves from you guys since nobody sells them here in Finland. Hopefully they'll fit my clumsy paws. Can't wait to try 'em out.
:-) they're a really nice glove. Specially designed for clumsy paws :-)
Can you review the new Revgear Original Thai Gloves? Are they made in the same factory as Danger Equipment (just like their shinguards)?
Thanks for explaining it so well.
I totally agree about the Sander review I have used them for 18 months and the leather is still great. However the thumb is very uncomfortable and I have had hand problems using them. Also the velcro is terrible and looses grip quickly, also the interior lining breaks and tears after little use.
Its something we have seen over many years, certainly not just one or two instances
What weight were the Fairtex gloves you had on?
What is your opinion on booster and yokkao gloves?
Do you have reviews for any Hayabusa, Yokkao, Venum or Rival gloves, mate?
The thing that slightly confused me is the impression I got was that the only glove that actually allowed for a normal fist position was the Rev gear and the danger was close. But surely if you can’t make a fist all those gloves are useless and the Rev gear ones are the only real option and if you don’t like the longer wrist then there’s nothing? What brand would you recommend that allows a proper fist and is slim like the Rev gear but has a proper Muay Thai length wrist
What you prefer : twins bgvl3 16 oz or fairtex bgv19 16oz for sparring and bag work?
Very informative. Thanks
Do fairtex bgl6 10 oz have roomy compartment for regular adult hand size?
Great vid! I just got my first heavy bag and am looking for gloves, what concerns me is the gloves leave your thumb on the side of the fist and don’t appear to let you curl your thumb under your fist like is proper in a self defense situation. Are there gloves that let you curl your thumb under your fist? I’m worried in a real life situation these gloves could create a bad habit in self defense. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
you wont do that in real life as long as you make a proper fist whenever you are shadowboxing
That's a great way to break your thumb. Even in real life situations you don't want your thumb inside your fist
@@tomrush95 yea proper way to make a fist is with thumb outside look it up
Why didn't you have those Boon gloves on peg board behind you in this video?
A friend gave me a pair of those dangers problem its a 10pz i normally use 14oz i dont have massive hands but my thumb on the heavy bag with the danger hurts just a little bit maybe because its 10oz never happened with over gloves
do they come with a bag to carry them?
how do you find RDX gloves? I have big hands, will they fit? looking for gel ones for bag work
Their new pro range is really good quality kit - much, much improved on their base range: www.fightstorepro.com/brands/rdx.html
I've got two pair of RDX, Hayabusa and Twins. The RDX are probably my favorite, followed closely by Twins. Build quality is fantastic, and great hand fit. I use them for heavybag, but they're not gel. I'm 200lbs and hit a 200lb sand heavybag.
What thai gloves best for western boxing? I heard fairtex bgv9 and HMIT gloves are good.
Can I use cleto Reyes 16oz for Muay Thai they come up pretty high to my wrist
Which glove would you recommend for a heavy bag only. I am not sold on heavy bag mitts because they look really poorly designed with not much support at all. I am looking for a glove that offers good padding, mainly around the knuckles with good wrist support. Probably a boxing glove but I am not sure. Any advice up to a £100? Maybe your top 3 or 5 for heavy bag only with perhaps adding some information on different weights of the gloves 12,14 oz etc.
Michael Knight I ordered a 12 oz Twins special to hit the bag
Me too, I have had them for about a week now, pretty happy so far. Wrist support could be better but overall they feel good. Do the Twins need break in? What exactly do they mean when they say "break in".
Michael Knight it gets softer. like how you have to break in a baseball glove.
detailed and informative showcase of gloves. few comments i wanted to make..
if you felt you had to show the sandee, why did u not share windy or boon (which can be seen right behind you on the wall) or top king? they're all well known and quality thai boxing gloves from thailand.
and in regards to some comments you made, there were a few things that made no sense; juan even sort of just brushed your comments off like he also thought they were nonsense. it was in regards to one of the gloves which u suggested the padding was more for style (or something of the sort; i forget the exact wording), but the padding isn't even visible (it's stitched inside)..how/why would it be for style? and then, i think, talking about the same glove, you said you had problems/discomfort with your knuckles going thru on punches to the head, but that if you threw punches higher you wouldn't have that problem. ummm....if u threw punches higher (ie. above the head) u wouldn't be hitting anything.
lastly, you included the pricing on one or two of the gloves in the end summary, but it would have been nice if u included this for all of them.
all in all, great video. i just found your channel and videos, and im cruising thru them. video on thai shin guards is next
u suggested that the padding on thai gloves be a stylistic fashion thing, which doesnt make any sense given that the padding is not visible and inside the glove
When will the Revgear original be available?
It is
I order venom boxing gloves can I use in sanda sanshou / kickboxing / muay Thai
Yes, but would be better to have a set of gloves that are designed specifically for your disciplines. Thai gloves and boxing gloves have different attributes.
no reviews ever mentions antimicrobial properties, or basically the glove's ability to resist smelling bad. My fairtex and twins gloves both started to smell bad in the finger compartment well before the glove was worn out. i was pretty good about drying them and wiping them down and stuff, but if you forget and leave them in your gym bag even one time, they will smell forever and that drives me nuts. My cleto reyes gloves are twice as old and still smell brand new. i would love the Twins design made with the quality of cleto reyes and it would be the perfect glove.
That can - and often does - happen after prolonged use, even to gloves with good ventilation. Have you tried these?: www.fightstorepro.com/a1-odoclear-bag.html
They do actually work, and not just a gimmick!
FightstorePro Thanks for the tip, ive seen products similar to those but never tried them. i have an electric boot/glove dryer that i use to dry them but they still smell eventually anyway. But as i mentioned, i feel like a glove should not smell bad if the leather and padding still look brand new. Whatever material Cleto Reyes uses on the inside does not allow bacteria to grow. It's also not even humid where im from, and i always shower before training so i really dont get why my Thai gloves go bad so quickly, just cheaper material im guessing, but Twins gloves are about $90 now, so not such a great deal anymore.
The odo clear - and similar products - are worth a shot. The theory - the bamboo charcol inside drawing out the bad smelling bacteria - does work and has been successfully applied to many 'kill bad odor' products. For me, glove dryers have only served to make the inside of my gloves hot and moist, thereby enhancing bacteria but perhaps i gave up too early on the drying process.
Just ordered some 12oz Fairtex BGV1's for pad and bag work, and gonna' use my current 16oz Sandee Authentics for sparring.
One thing about the Sandee's, they do feel pretty light, not weighed them but they definitely feel like they've come in light.
Hows the fit of the BGV1? Is there a difference in hand size between 12 and 16oz? I am thinking of getting 14 oz, for bag work, as I thought 12 oz does not have enough knuckle support to hit the bag hard. I thought you can only do light and perhaps speed work, how do you use your 12oz?
Michael Knight I use my 12oz for bag work and pad work, they are very very well protected at the knuckles, I thought at first they may be too small for the heavy bag, but they're just very compact. I have quite small hands lol, so if you have big hands the 14oz may be better, but there won't be much of a difference!
Matt Nice 1! I heard the Fairtex gloves are heavier, like they have 2 oz added, have you weighed yours? Are they a 12 oz or heavier?
How are they holding up? How long to break them in? Do they start stinking after a while? Hope you don't mind all the Q's, thx in advance!
Michael Knight It's fine man, I had to ask a lot of questions before pruchasing, since they are pretty expensive! I haven't weighed mine, no. And holding up fine, not even any scuffs yet, solid paint work, I have the whites! Break in period is pretty long, took about 2-3 weeks of training 4-5 times a week. And they actually still have that 'new' smell on the inside. But then again I wash my wraps after every session, so my gloves are always fresh
Matt That's really good news. Glad you are happy with yours. I actually just ordered a pair of Twins Special, they are arriving from Thailand soon.
Had I known what I know now I'd of prob gone for the Fairtex, will see though when the Twins arrive. I hope my Twins are not too big for the heavy bag, for which I specifically bought them. I did buy the 14oz, they should be a little smaller over the 16oz which I heard are pretty big.
Great review!! What model are those Revgear?
brand new. Revgear Original glove. Available in summer
Revgear actually makes an Original Thai glove...this one is more for boxing, hence why you like it better than the others.
what about RDX Cowhide T9? I really enjoy them myself
I ordered Top King I assume they are for Muay Thai am i right?
yes they are
They are indeed and have a different hand compartment to Twins, Sandee and Fairtex
compared the glove width while his hand was still in it lol.
Needs Yokkao added.
Wot, yokkao gear is notoriously bad...
yeah yokkao gear is absolute shit. Needs boon.
How is it bad?
Where do you buy the danger gloves?I live in Germany
Danger are no longer in business for the UK, I think they may still be selling some in Spain but try RAJA or REVGEAR thai gloves on www.fightstorepro.com
@@FSPRO thanks
Amazing
oh..i also wanted to comment on your opinions of hand positioning in the gloves. you and juan have relatively large/long hands and that plays a significant role in this aspect of fitment. it's not accurate for you to state that the first two gloves have "terrible" hand positioning, and that the others are good in this regard. as you state in another video, different make of gloves are designed and constructed differently. some fit tighter and some more loosely. in the same regard, some have a longer hand compartment and some shorter. this is a generalization, but folks in thailand are relatively smaller individuals than those of european descent. yall having bigger and longer hands, did not fit the first two gloves well.
in conclusion, your comments on hand fitment/positioning were inaccurate and no good
i agree. they seem to have little knowledge about the sport they are talking about as well. all i hear is "thai boxing" even though muay thai is technically kickboxing
DHL: The points you are making are fair in one respect and quite often I've said similar myself but we've come across this multiple times. The Twins and Danger are made in Thailand for smaller guys. We tried 16's off camera and simply the first two genuinely do not have a good fist position. We tried this on a few different people of different sizes.
I've trained personally for over 25 years, Juan is ranked #1 at 85 kg in the UK and is now on Enfusion fighting K1. We do have a good perspective but reviews are always opinion to a degree.
The terrible hand compartment comment is how we found it. I don't think I can see a way the thumb and finger position can work for anyone but its always opinion at the end of the day.
I totally agree about the Sandee review I have used them for 18 months and the leather is still great. However the thumb is very uncomfortable and I have had hand problems using them. Also the velcro is terrible and looses grip quickly, also the interior lining breaks and tears after little use.
There's a comment below from a guy who has been using them.
We even said about the potential differences for the weight division on the Sandee and Fairtex.
Interesting idea that you think the UK's #1 ranked Muay Thai fighter would have no idea about the sport he's talking about.
I want to start using Yakkao gear, but the shipping to U.S. is expensive as all shit!!!
Johnny Lira yokkao gear is great so try look on eBay
I wanted to buy a Yakkao belly pad, it was $100, OK. I can live with that. Shipping was $65 DHL. WTF!!!!!
Just stop being poor
Can i use venum gloves in boxing And muay thaï ?
If you wanna look like a newbie loser
@@lr2119 i dont understand
@@lr2119 dunno what gym you go to but no gym i know would look down on someone for the pads they chose you sound like a real arsehole
you need to get some top king gear, best imo
The best is relative
Hey chaps,
Im from the Northwest UK currently- I got some Yokkao Pheonix's around a year ago, decent enough gloves, however whenever I use them for an extended period of time I get really bad numbness +pins n needles in my fingers-and very bad pain in my knuckels. This is without handwraps and they are medium Size- they fit fine but theres a ridge on the inside which I think is there to form a grip around- just feels very out of place and is digging into my hands making them numb- any ideas on other gloves that would help alleviate this?
Get the BGV1's dude, for 12oz or 14oz, Fairtex BGV1's are the best glove, imo.
can u pelase make a video of fairtex bgv9
Boon ftw.
Can i use The Twins for pure boxing as Well?
Furkan Midik yes you can. Pacquiao used to train in them before using Winning. maybe go with 12oz as the 16oz are quite puffy.
Got 16oz twins and 16oz fairtex. Much prefer the twins and they're yellow😀 I'm 5 11 and weigh 13 stone
Wtf is 13 stone
Are you for real 😳
@@Java148 tea
So basically the twins is the one that makes it look like you been doing mauy thai
Never heard of Yokkao?
Yokkao is plastic, not leather
@@karlievbayram811 That's weird because my gloves say genuine leather on them.
@@DisRuptMedia
For boxing use only boxing brands not gloves built for Muay Thai. Pure boxing gloves are constructed differently, padding and cushioning is different, wrist support much more serious, thumb is attached for safety but not for clinching.
@@karlievbayram811 Whatever you say Teddy Atlas.
Windy should have been mentioned.
Just think the points raised by Juan Cerventes lies in the design and configuration of those Muay Thai Style Velcro Gloves, rather than the matter of any individual brands. They are probably not the best for punching, especially in bagwork.
Personally experienced discomfort with fingers (second knuckles) in punching practice when using Twins and Fairtex 10-oz Velcro Gloves, and Twins 4-oz bag gloves as well. But such a problem has ceased to exist since I shifted to using Top King 8-oz lace up boxing gloves as well as Boon 4-oz thumbless bag gloves. It is probably because the former is more of western boxing configuration whereas the latter has a flat, thick pad.
Hi James; Your comments have a lot of validity but the brands do make a difference as many of them have their own hand mold which is why they can cause discomfort. MTG and Sandee's hand compartment is a particular issue and simply put no one I've found using them can make a good fist in them. Fairtex & Revgear have several designs in their range, Twins have expanded, Danger also have more than one base design but Sandee and MTG really only have one base glove design albeit different colour, graphics etc
@@FSPRO what are your thoughts on windy gloves?
I love Fairtex gloves! Most of my mates don't like Fairtex gloves.
For me the Fairtex protect my hands more than other Thai gloves !! I own the F-Day limited edition green gloves. I have a old hand injury and the F-Day limited edition are perfect for my old hand injury !!
F day is a good glove, in between boxing and muay thai, cuff isn’t too long but isn’t too short, padding isn’t too slim nor too big, a perfect glove if you’re looking for mid ground
danger are not from tailand
BOON

Ppaa
Stay away from yokkao poor quality, the twins seem to last forever
Yokkao blows all of these out of the water 😂
hmm, not totally sure about that :-)
FightstorePro what makes u say that ? I kinda need to know cuz I’m close to buying some and would like to know ur opinion
@@skimaskway6430 to some extent it's personal opinion - what feels good on your hands etc. We're not here to dismiss Yokkao - they do some decent kit with interesting design work, but to say they blow the likes of Twins and Fairtex out the water we do feel is a bit of a stretch.
FightstorePro Yh I’ve got some yokkao now and they r definitely good but a glove is a glove and there’s nothing too special about them
