RIVAL Boxing Gloves - RS100 Professional Sparring Gloves - Choice of Colours

Product Information

In countries outside of the US, local brands are more common…such as Rival in Canada, TOP TEN in UK, Winning in Japan, Twins in Thailand, Mexican gloves in Mexico, etc. And then Winning is worn as the “status brand” to show off regardless of any country. Mexican gloves are also shown off outside of Mexico as “exotic gloves” (like in Europe) and fun to wear since they look different from typical Pakistan gloves and very hard to get or rarely seen.

American boxing companies fell outof favor because all of them eventually prioritized profits over quality. Their glove production wasoutsourced to Pakistan and no longer made byhand craftsmen in-house, but by machine or low-level factory workers. Again, “profit over quality” was the main driving force…and the results reflected that. “Made in America” would never be heard again for boxing gloves, just like 99.99% of productsyou see today. The best American gloves from the old days were made by true craftsman who spent an entire day making one pair, preparing the leather and padding in the most precise ways, and creating each glove with pride. Knowledge of the fight game was their greatest asset. Old-school American gloves were made to last. But to pay a premiumprice today for quality leather and precise handicraft just to give boxing a try? No, the average kidjust wants some cheap gloves with cool graphics to hit the bags with, and that’s exactly who the Americanbrands cater to. Another detail of stitching is how neat it is. Whenever you have double-stitching, you can look closely at the two rows of stitching to see if they maintain the same distance from each other. Usually when it’s done by hand, you will see them not look so even and slightly messy. Whereas a machine obviously will look perfect. You can take machine-stitching as a pro or a con. It can be a pro because it looks good. But can be a con if you wanted something more “hand-made”. There are many arguments among manufacturers that these machines are so expensive and if your gloves are made that way, it’s probably being made by a big factory doing mass production.Necalli (like other Mexican brands) – great leather, padding, wrist support, comfort and craftsmanship. Also fair pricing and old-school styling. Quality glove at a great price. Good quality leather and good cushion for sparring and bagwork. Many women like Twins for their smaller hand fit. If you want a velcro model, get the BGVL3 which is padded better but some complain that it’s more of a traditional Thai glove shape and too bulky. Having several pairs of gloves helps to preserveyour soft sparring gloves, since they don’t last longwhen used on the heavy bag. The dense cushion inbag gloves can last a lot longer; but you can’t shouldn’t use them on sparring partners.

Poor quality – inferior materials, craftsmanship, and function to many similar-pricedboxing gloves. In summary, these Rival RB11 Evolution Bag Gloves are Rival’s best bag glove because they are easy to use, support your wrists excellently, are comfortable, and look fantastic. Once you hurt your hands, they’re prone to getting hurt again. You may feel hand pain or hand weakness in everything else that you do in life.Of all the low-budget gloves, I would personally only use the RingtoCage C17 gloves or TOP TEN Superfight 3000 gloves for serious training. But that’s because I’ve got sensitive hands after boxing for so many years. A beginner or anybody else could probably make do with other gloves. If you feel you may need better protection, GO SAVE UP AND BUY IT. Or do what the pros do—go lighter on the heavy bag! This expensive Adidas model has been made by so many brands. Fairtex are made in Thailand but there are clones out there. You can get a great deal on Thai glovesif you buy them in person in Thailand. The weird thing is that while all the Thai brands are made in Thailand, someof their models are identical to theusual Pakistan glove molds (I call them “Thai clones”). Who’s copying who? I’ve used several over the years but for the rest, I had to ask friends and read online. The #1 “puncher’s glove” in the market. Horsehair model is used in pro fights for maximum power transfer.
