16oz Cleto Reyes "deal" from Amazon, beware of the "deal"

[@Awarenessfrequencies]

I just got a new pair of red lace ups. Exact same issues as yours. No strong smell, logo has that big heat plate imprint. I think they legit, they just mass produce the common red, black and blue lace up. I’m not too disappointed because my last pair of Velcro 16oz Cleto’s weighed 19.8 ounces. These new red ones are actually 15.5 for a 16 oz glove. So in some ways they’re actually better. Also color is a bit shinier.

[@Julian-q2x]

Where did you buy them from?

[@TheGrCh_Phredito]

I’ve never seen Reyes gloves with laces like that. That seemed odd to me.

[@thanhton6635]

I bought a pair for $189. Yellow, black laces, had an oval line outside of the logo but not as deep as the one in this video. Still got the strong smell, but the outer leather seems to comes off by some small dots after one training. Idk if it is fake or mismanufactured

[@nricofighter]

Mine turned out to be legit you can check the number on the cuff with Reyes

[@ctony8089]

They are real. The 149$ version is actually gloves that were messed up during manufacturing. Kind of like an outlet. The ones of the cleto reyes site are far better

[@Cambodia69]

Sorry, but I just ordered a pair directly from Reyes and it has the same issues. I was willing to look over the others, but the liner hanging down on the inside, it made it totally unusable. I wouldn't be surprised if Reyes aren't being made in Pakistan and they're just putting on the "Hecho en Mexico" labels on. Whatever leather they're using now is not like when I got my first pair of Reyes' back in the early '90s. This new leather reminds me of all those Pakistani-made gloves, and the smell isn't the same either.

[@ericlinares6120]

Agreed. Ive seen pics of Cletos in the 90s and the leather looks like butter. Even the safetecs I got back in 2016 were different from the ones I just got a few months ago. My 2016s stunk up my room like leather for a whole month. My 2023s smelled good but the smell went away after like a week..​@@Cambodia69

There are definitely some sketchy Amazon sellers out there so I always do my research before purchasing Foley. I ordered my first Cleto Reyes gloves off Amazon and they’ve been put through a bunch of wars and still to this day. Feel amazing.

[@smoren879]

I had same issue. Imma return them. I bought same ones only they were red. They were also 16oz but weighed 13oz. I am sketched out too by these gloves.

[@mizzygotswagg12292]

Sid u check the exact seller? They could be knocks.

[@theshotohouse530]

My buddy got the same exact pair off of Amazon and his were a mess too. He sent them back and got another pair and those were much better.

[@emedina801]

I got the blue 14oz and the inside is the same, not a heavy leather smell but by far my favorite gloves, a friend of mine brought them from Mexico.

[@nricofighter]

Yeah they were legit, I got another pair and sold these ones. The new ones were alot closer to 16oz

[@wingoreviewsboxingandmma3667]

They look real. I hear Reyes can be hit or miss with their quality control

[@jaysboxingchannel6233]

These gloves appear to be genuine cleto reyes gloves. As highly rated as Cleto Reyes are, they do have alot of quality control issues especially for a glove thats nearly $200. When you get a pair of Cleto Reyes there is a 50% chance that you will get a pair that is either well built or get a pair that has so many issues, like loose stitching inside the gloves, exposed padding, tears in the leather from the razors they use to cut the leather,ETC. My Reyes gloves which I personally bought directly from the Reyes website had no issues that affected the glove performance wise, just cosmetic issues such as the logo but other than that nothing else.

[@LH_02]

Did it come with the vacuum plastic package

[@nricofighter]

Yeah it did and they are real but just didn't really like them I think maybe they were left in sunlight or something cause the replacement gloves were perfect

[@LH_02]

@@nricofighter cool

[@Chooong7]

I already know if I get these shipped to my country, they're gonna send me the worst pair they have on stock cuz they know I would never be requesting for an exchange.

[@Cambodia69]

I just ordered a pair of 8 oz lace-up Safetec boxing gloves, directly from the Cleto Reyes website, and while everything else was good, the liner arrived just like yours in this video. As many different boxing gloves as I've owned, borrowed, tried out, I've never once experience a liner like that. It's so bad that they're unusable. What the f*ck is going on with Cleto Reyes?

[@nricofighter]

Yeah I did end up contacting Reyes and verified through email they are legit but I had Amazon replace them and the second pair that came was almost the same but was right on weight with both gloves so I kept those.

[@__euro2x]

Did you make sure it was shipped and sold by cleto reyes ? Because there are other vendors who sell knock offs its fucked up how amazon lets that go on

[@nricofighter]

They actually were real as I verified through Reyes with the serial number.

[@tekkn_579]

The fact that manny Pacman is an avid cleto Reyes fight glove user and doesn’t use the training gloves, but uses winning gloves instead, should tell you all you need to know about cletos sparring training gloves.

It’s better to order from the cleto Reyes web site

[@Dia_Singleton999]

Real but slightly defective.

[@santoazusa]

Are you sure they are not fake? There’s a video on how to spit if they are real.

[@spyder2176]

Always buy from their official website. Be careful with these fakes. Amazon is a huge no for gloves

[@youngman7600]

Anyone ever ordered off of the ringside website?

[@nricofighter]

Yeah I have but I'm not a fan of their style of gloves. They just don't feel good to me. The padding is too big on the knuckle area and gives a false sense of range while hitting the bag and they are also very tight around my hands but for a smaller or normal size person I'm sure they are fine

[@youngman7600]

@@nricofighter I ordered the Cleto Reyes gloves off of that website

[@nricofighter]

@young man oh well to be honest I would just order from cleto reyes unless you can get a good price. Alot of time ringside does sales but excludes Reyes and fairtex but they are legit 👌

[@youngman7600]

@@nricofighter Appreciate the feedback. I already ordered them for 209. Just waiting on them to get here. I'm just hoping now that none of my training partners get upset that I'm sparring with Cleto. After I ordered them I started to read about how brutal they are but I dont really know what to think because I've never really paid attention to what kind of gloves I'm getting hit with. It always depended on the person punching me whether it hurt or not lol

just got my velcro 14 oz today great quality but inside there the same alittle bit open never had a pair before so unsure what to compare them to I ordered mine from a well known boxing shop and payed £ 236 pound so there Deffo legit

@@azzman1234 well my 18 oz gloves are absolutely amazing and I can't recall having issues when I got them other than I jammed my thumb a couple times but then it never happened again.

Look at the stitches. Its obvious that they were fake

[@ligmaballs0911]

Not fake

[@camilomedicina]

These are fake, and more than likely made in Pakistan. Tons are being “manufactured” in Pakistan. Real Cleto Reyes gloves have very noticeable and meticulous double-stitching. After much consideration and research, I went straight to the Cleto Reyes site and I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas morning. I’m 43 😆 Hope you got this resolved and are happy with your Reyes’ 🥊🤘🏽

[@Julian-q2x]

Did you get the Cleto Reyes gloves?

[@camilomedicina]

@@Julian-q2x- I did! Been about 6-months. Beautiful packaging, and cool thing they did was add a small lace-up yellow ‘autograph’ glove. I started training Muay Thai shortly after, so I got 14oz by a brand called Boon. They’re good, and I use them most of the time now, and use my 16oz Cleto’s when I train at UFC on the heavy bag, and oh boy, you definitely feel the difference. After 6-months, they still look, feel, and smell brand new after many hours of training. The Boon ones already have wear that shows and have a light odor that I maintain.
