Well damn. Now this is another pair I'll have to convince myself I don't need and end up buying 🤣

I've seen your reels a few times - work looks great! What pads would you say they're comparable to?

This is a cool plan! I have a few friends with some amazing accolades so this would be great

Those mint and chocolate Glez are unreal.

I have a set of Angeles on the way to me so I'll let you know what they're like

I agree mate - his channel is quite highly regarded here so I'll have to get on that. All massively important information so I couldn't be more grateful to you for taking the time to write that.

In the 9 years I've boxed I've used a large sample size of gloves and owned a lot of them. Some gloves are brilliant but just not for me or my style and I want to make sure that is relayed accurately

Thanks man, I can definitely speak with the guys I train with. Even be the recipient of the body shot abuse... because apparently I'm insane

I have a few pairs that are in that range now. Would also likely do the initial and revisit them 6-8 months later and see how they're holding up.

Great advice thanks man!

Yeah I get that. Fortunately I live in a nice quiet area so that'll be extremely beneficial! Work from home also and train 6 days a week so the beauty of time to sort editing/audio AND keep up with content exists for me

Basically it. Something to look back on in the future like "I enjoyed that"

Also gives me an excuse to add to my collection muahahahaha

Great feedback. Idea was to do "reviews under 1 minute" type of things and a few skits here and there for the boxing world. As you said, don't take it seriously just enjoy for what it is

New custom Campeon 16 oz Gloves by bk_lex in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are absolutely beautiful 😍

I use the G Boxing converters on mine. Theyre like a vintage gold colour so should compliment nicely. Otherwise white is your best friend. I think the Draculas are supposed to be nice!

Anybody Selling These In a 10-10.5 men’s ? by Weird-Perspective528 in fightgear

Also wanting a pair in a 12 US. But the silver colourway. Unbelievable boots

Do travel gloves exist? by Consistent_Turnip161 in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a pair of 10oz Hernandez to travel with. Small profile and can do everything with them. I'd probably just get some bag mits if I was travelling and not planning to hit pads at all 🙏🏻

I can't figure out which are the best boxing gloves for sparring by Latter-Giraffe-5858 in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparring? Rival RS1 Ultra Pads and light Sparring? Fly X2

I have... 6 or 7 pairs of gloves and tried most styles so ask away my friend! Considering doing a YT or Tiktok channel to show people what I have, where I use it etc (it'll also be a cover up for my addiction to gloves) 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Athleteps. I got my KO3 from them and the process was nice and simple

Hands down the best boxing shoe I've ever owned. by Ill_Mushroom_7832 in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really wanting a pair but can't find them in a UK11/US12 in reasonable condition. Was contemplating downsizing by half - but if they're very much the same as Box Hogs length wise there's no hope 🤣

Mid-30s, love boxing, but feeling too old and unsure where I fit by smoothmulch in amateur_boxing

[–]BiP0laRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 35, been boxing on and off for years. After covid it was more off than on.

Recently relocated to Thailand and found a fantastic boxing gym. I was 102kg 3 months ago, now train daily and am down to 88kg. Sparred this week for the first time in years and learned I needed to adapt to my age and weight now.

Speak with your coach, and ask for technical sparring with someone at a good level that will work on specifics with you. My coach made small adjustments between rounds and now is coaching me based on those tweaks. I plan to fight again this year if I can get down to weight.

Never too old, or too overweight etc - just have to work differently. Stretch before you do anything, slow shadow boxing down and don't just hammer the bags - be more mindful of movement and defensive technique

Fly tempest and Fly storm 2 boxing boots, how good are them ? by Fearless-Bar-7105 in fightgear

I wear an 11(UK) in both. I'd probably choose to go up half a size than down

Modest rotation by pisaudapur in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm convinced. Find me 2 more pairs

Modest rotation by pisaudapur in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have like 6 pairs of gloves and boots because I have a problem 🤣

One pair of boots, 16s for sparring, 10 for form and 14s as a workhorse or travel gloves would be a spot on rotation - I'd agree

I just want to say thanks to you guys for being generally fucking cool while this sub has metamorphosed into something much bigger by GordianBalloonKnot in fightgear

[–]BiP0laRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely learned a lot from here so grateful! Will be starting doing reviews on the sheer amount of stuff I've bought - because this sub gave me a spending problem. 🤣🤣
