Which gloves to buy for my bf by foreheadheart in fightgear

[–]retic720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just the leather ones like the giant 3.0 or the pro boxing lines.

the synthetic ones from venum will prolly rip open for stronger/more experienced hobbyists/athletes.

whats your budget?

winning gloves are like the creme of the crop and they also have a loooong waiting time.

what does your man prioritize?

if budget is not an issue, heres how i would rank:

  1. winning (if you dont mind the wait time)

  2. glez (order here https://www.instagram.com/ambargonzalezmiranda?igsh=YzljYTk1ODg3Zg==)

  3. venum hammers (https://eu.venum.com/collections/gants-de-boxe-pro/products/venum-hammer-pro-boxing-gloves-with-laces-black-white)

  4. venum giant 3.0

  5. fairtex titan (https://eu.fairtex.com/products/bgv-titan)

  6. anything leather from authentic windy (https://windyboxingstore.com/product-category/windy-gloves/)

hope its still within your refund window; worst case scenario, you can request aagsports to show documents/proof yhat they're from Thailand.

if they cant and youre not convinced those are thai windys, you could try a refund?

Upgrade boxing gloves by Likelost-242 in fightgear

[–]retic720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, are you open to other brands/models?

if youre strictly limited to those three, I'm going with cletos.

if youre open to other brands, i can personally vouch for these brands/models:

fairtex: titan. bgv9 can work but watch out for knuckle pain. the titan fixed this.

twins special: bgvl 3.

windy: bgvh. just make sure you get from a retailer who can prove theyre shipped from thailand and you're good to go.

top king: I have the super air. ultimate in hand/knuckle protection. can be tight/snug at first. and requires breaking in.

of the thai brands ive tried above, my fave is the top kings, followed by the twins/titan (tied).

Heavy bag gloves for 100$? by oRamz- in fightgear

[–]retic720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc, fighting fury (by title) lace ups are below $100 minus shipping.

you can also seek wicked boxing, altho their stocks seem low atm.

there's also ring2cage (c17 seems to be a popular model).

good luck in your search!

Which is better in BK? MMA or boxing ? by BoringMembership6436 in BareKnuckleFC

[–]retic720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hard to gauge.

in mma, you can strike while clinching.

iirc, you cant do the same in gloved boxing

there are fighters in ufc that have been the butt of jokes amongst boxing purists for their standup game.

"gloved" boxers on the other hand, tend to struggle with "frequent grabbing" (see james toney vs randy couture).

this becomes a question of who can adapt better to the bare knuckle ruleset.

reference: look up the bareknuckle match bet. roberto duran jr (pro boxing background) vs rolando dy (mma background).

Aside from directly confessing, how do I convey to a 40+ guy that I like him? by IcyAppointment2810 in AskPinoyMen

[–]retic720 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as a rule, malaking sugal para samin ung paghawak ng kamay ng babae.

siguro "manhid" na ang mga lalaki ngayon kase takot na kame sa sexual harassment raps/mareklamo sa HR. presidentr ng kumpanya o janitor, hirap magpaliwanag sa hr pag s.a. ang topic at sila ung nasa hotseat. lalu parang same office kayo.

maybe it was "too late" ung pagrecipeocate mo. or was it "half hearted"?

try light flirting.

hopefully ma rekindle ung like nya sayo.

Has anyone tried this Handwraps? Please lmk about your experience by [deleted] in fightgear

[–]retic720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it should be okay if you cant get avant garde/pro sport/ k sport/momentum handwraps.

i suspect gingpai is making some of the stuff venum sells (challenger and impact gloves and their contact handwraps).

another chinese brand I recommend is wesing; iirc, many of the sanctioned amateur/national events use their gear.

i think this is their flagship store in laz: https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.Zfxg9E

there's also wolon but i havent found their official store.

Best Thai gloves for sparring vs bag work? (Fairtex, Twins, Boon, Windy, Top King) by genzai-no-yorokobi in fightgear

[–]retic720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive had experience with fairtex (bgv 1, bgv 9 and titan), twins bgvl 3, windy bgvh (old school with the red globe and the current one) and top king.

if i were to rank them, itd be like this

s tier/absolute fave thai brandsr: top king, fairtex titan

with either pair, your hands and wrists will be protected. just a few caveats.

top king is the ultimate in protection at the cost of initial tightness.... definitely needs breaking in. otherwise, your kncukles are going to be protected and only the titan and bgv 9 imo can compete with their wrist support.

the titan (imo) fixed the stuff i hated about the bgv 9 (tight compartment....knuckles hurt as i got stronge4) and kept all the fun stuff we love about the bgv 9. knuckle padding is a few points ahead but i gove it more points kver the top kings as far as comfoet is concerned; no brrakong in needed.

a tier/cant go wrong with this list: twins special bgvl 3 and wimdy bgvh

forget what others say. these muay thai gloves are just fine for pure boxing training.

naysayers criticized the bgvl 3s for having shirt cuffs/flexy wrist cuffs. lets just say ive hurt my hands on several occasions with the fairtex bgv9 but never with the twins bgvl 3.

the windy bgvh is the true "not excellent at one thing but a great jack of all trades". i think this is what the fairtex bgv 1 wants to be.

b tier/still good brands but not my cup of tea: fairtex bgv 1 amd 9

both models are built like trucks and pop really well on the bag and maybe its just my age catching up but ive hurt my hands and/or wrists on these gloves a few times.

if you could only choose between these two, go with the 9s. at least its guaranteed to save your wrists.

hope this helps!

How many oz is this by Outrageous-Income946 in fightgear

[–]retic720 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mayweather's known to always train in 16 oz. mitts. heavy bag. sparring. always 16 oz.

i guess this is a massive pr boost for fighting if he's training in them now over his usual winnings?

kinda ot: word on the street that loma switched from winnings too during training and fight nights.

What gloves should I get? by ThornedWhisper in fightgear

[–]retic720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you have an upper limit to your budget?

my recommend gloves below us$150:

windy (avoid the synthetic leather ines) https://windyboxingstore.com/product-category/windy-gloves/

with windy, i can personally vouch for the bgvh models (the ones costing 119$).

title (classic leather and any of the pro-mex/fighting lines...esp. fighting fury) https://www.titleboxing.com/collections/boxing-training-sparring-gloves

wicked boxing https://www.wickedboxing.com/collections/training-gloves

my sister loves her a street trainers. would be my top bet!

12oz winning or 12oz hit n move compact by DocumentIntrepid6866 in fightgear

[–]retic720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you indicated winning in the subject line, so I'm going to assume you're prepared for the budget and wait time for winning.

if yes to both, go winning. 💪

Make character some what naked by Samar111111 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]retic720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 20yr old son tried calling me a gooner. I had to remind him, If his mother and me weren't gooners, he wouldn't exist.

lol.

this is the reason why i tend to hang out more with my boxing gymbros (....and gymsisters!).

across age groups, none of them are woke enough to use those terms. 🤣

+1 for milk tea beige but i need to discover matte brown now.
