Beginner Boxing Glove Comparison: Which gloves should I start with?

The biggest question I always get from people just starting out is "what gloves should I get before my first class?" Well I picked out 7 gloves to have an actual beginner talk about and review. I will also upload individual reviews on these gloves within the upcoming weeks. I hope this helps!

[@PrometheusEpimetheus]

Really good idea handing it over to the new guy. He's more concerned with comfort and safety than just style. He's noting common issues amateurs are gonna have from bad shots that pros don't have issues with.

[@boston7704]

For a beginner, he's solid.

[@combat_corp]

Thank you very much! He did pretty well in a few amateur bouts but since graduating college I am unsure if he is still competing but I know he is doing well!

[@mikeyork3093]

Thanks for the review guys in South Africa other than Title and Everlast( boxing specific brands) its hard for us to get the other brands without importing them automatically bumps the price up. I'm using Adidas hybrid now as a beginner.

[@jmninternational1116]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@Swishers0nly]

great video

[@CazWitDaCash]

I will consider buying the Ringside Apex gloves

[@bradschak]

I hear good things about RDX gloves. Ever tried them? I found out that the Ringside sparring gloves are 14-18 oz gloves. If you want a bag glove, they are only available in 10 and 12.

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

Wow eh!! I’m a beginner also, 4 weeks into it. My first gloves I picked up the elite everlast, black and red. Solid gloves for bag, century bob anything. I ordered a 14oz ring side in red/black because they look sick. BUT I found them extremely tight, and like toy. Returned them. ❤

[@greentrader6905]

great video my friend

[@user-gs9yc7wx7z]

How would you rank some of the Thai gloves like twins/fairtex amongst these for just boxing?

[@mattkuch9657]

I'd like to see how you would rate and compare entry level rival gloves to these ones (specifically the S4).

[@boston7704]

I've been *very* pleased with the Rival RB60s. Very much a bag glove, but very well constructed.

[@panick_9550]

Planning on upgrading my gloves from the sanabul gel gloves to the hyabussa s4 (been doing kick boxing for a little less than 11 months and everyone I train with praises hyabussa so much and the s4 gloves are $50 compared to $130 or even $230 in the case of the Marvel series which is what iD jump at getting if they went down in price alot)

[@panick_9550]

Would much rather get the Marvel series gloves but can't afford them unfortunately

[@combat_corp]

Hayabusa is in fact in the top 3 of my favorite brands. As far as upgrading to the S4, I think they are my favorite beginner glove because they fit right for me but I have had some emails complaining about them which concerns me. Another great pair would be the Ringside Apex sparring gloves (which are training gloves actually) they're also really cheap on Amazon I would recommend those as well the Title Classic Leather Training gloves. Let me know what you go with my friend!

[@panick_9550]

@@combat_corp haven't upgraded just yet because I've grown a bit attached to my sanabul stuff which I got in January and I wanna see if they last the year) might just go with a muay Thai glove (Fairfax or hiyabussa but I'll certainly look into the title ones if I'm ever just doing boxing for a time)

[@combat_corp]

@@panick_9550 Not making the switch is fine! A lot of Sanabul's products are awesome. I recommend their battle forged muay thai glove if you are looking for a good thai glove. I also recommend Windy and Yokkao.

[@noahrojas6547]

I like the powerlocks for beginners

[@bongmikethetiger]

Hey bro, can you recommend a pair for a 13 year old beginner. As well as a punching bag. The kind that hangs or planted on the ground. Thanks.

[@virgovirgintheslime6603]

Almost got the everlast until I saw this vid. I’m now getting the sanabul

[@ksksksnsb]

Me too xd

[@PrometheusEpimetheus]

Bro I went to THREE different sports stores and could only find everlast, I wish you luck

[@kingjoseph5901]

I think im going Sanabul as well

[@jameslyons6655]

I just bought a pair of the Ringsides. I really like them so far. I also use a Title pair, also very good for the money.

Whats the best glove smaller hands like one that I can squeeze hard and light as I'm allowed to have I'm 135 pounds I want a glove that's smallest I can have

[@marianiurea6217]

Hello. Nice video. Got a question for you. I got two pairs of boxing gloves. One RDX leather 10 oz feels like 13oz and a Hayabusa 12 oz for heavy bag. Hands are wrapped properly but my knuckles are killing me after 20 min of bag work. I am new at this. About two weeks. Hayabusa is better i feel padding is thicker. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@combat_corp]

I would highly recommend knuckle guards of some kind. The other thing is check where your punching and how hard your bag is. Heavy bags do something called "bottoming out" so all the sand in the bag goes right to the bottom part and makes it as hard as concrete and trust me I have seen more people hurt their hands that way than I would like to admit....ME INCLUDED. But I would go on Amazon and look for some knuckle guards or even try out basic sponges and wrap them over your knuckles to protect yourself. Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions sorry for the late response my friend

[@marianiurea6217]

@@combat_corp Got a pair of gel pads. Problem gone. Is not the bag. Have a pair of RDX leather. Good gloves but not enough padding for me. I switch to Hayabusa S4. All good. I will follow your advise and get a pair of Ringside. Good padding. Tried a pair in the store but a XL felt too tight. I have medium size hands. With wraps i dont know i i can get my hands in. Thanks for the reply.

[@thelegendbobin2713]

I really like the ringside ones but the shipping is just too expensive for me what gloves do you recommend that i can buy in europe

[@cb7677]

booster is a company out of belgium i think, saw them in use on siam boxings channel

[@danieldiazi96]

Can i do heavy bag work with the ringside apex?

[@lilchucky7199]

I've had the everlast elite ones for 5 months they haven't cracked guess I got lucky I upgraded to the ringside ones and they are amazing love these gloves thx

[@carlosb1]

I have everlast protex2 elite and they are so comfortable and good for heavy bag. The young man is right about that but Everlast needs to stop been cheap on the material.

[@dylansmith680]

I love ringside

[@jmninternational1116]

If I’m just starting out with striking what size should I get for a beginner glove?

[@combat_corp]

Depends on your weight! I usually say if you are 170 and over 16 oz gloves is a good range. 130-165 14 oz. 100-125 12 oz and if you are lighter than that then 10 oz. If you are much much bigger like 250-300 look into 18-20 oz gloves. However if it were me just for the safety of people complaining, 16 oz gloves is the best bet

[@jmninternational1116]

Thee Combat Corporation perfect! I’m 155 lbs so I’ll choose some 16 oz then. Thank you!

[@ademireyomi]

The venums you have in the video are the venum elites I thought? Not the challenger. And I was under the impression the elites were decent gloves

[@combat_corp]

No no. The elites are about 40 dollars more expensive and are actually not all that bad! These are the beginner's challenger. I believe they retail for around 35 dollars. That is what one of the guys that I trained said he bought from the website and showed me anyways maybe something went wrong though I am not sure!

[@LilWaniOfficial]

@@combat_corp my venum contender 1.0 just came in and I love them so far

[@JerreMuesli]

I also started with some 40$ Everlast gloves. The quality was awful but as he said, they were very comfortable. Now I train with Boon and Cleto Reyes.

[@XIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIX]

What’s the best leather boxing gloves under 100$? For training and sparring

[@daniel-lw2tc]

my question is is he still doing boxing

[@gabrielreyes5742]

Everlast power lock or ringside

[@Serpent947]

I got the Venum gloves at first but I’m upgrading to Cleto Reyes

[@Dmv.Jaz_]

Aren’t cleto Reyes the gucci of boxing?

[@misutatomasu]

@@Dmv.Jaz_ Guccis would be "Winning", "Di Nardo" and "Grant". But Grants are kinda overpriced and controversial, good power transfer/defense though.

[@nicksalvatore5717]

@@Dmv.Jaz_ di nardo, John Golomb, and Barric are pretty Gucci. These are all custom made to order though Winning is most like gucci because it’s factory made but easily the highest quality and the most expensive mass produced gloves you can buy

wrist support

[@fila6228]

should i get the ringsidde or the gold tittle

[@combat_corp]

Ringside for me!

[@electr0skeet]

@@combat_corp what model are the ringsides?

[@deshonorid9429]

Is their a glove that’s good that I can do bag work and spar with???

[@PrometheusEpimetheus]

Tbh just get sparring gloves. Don't sweat it too much, just buy another pair of bag gloves down the line. Get what lets you do a little of everything at the gym. If you're having issues with the bag, I'd recommend knuckle wrap inserts. They're little pieces of rubber/foam you pad your knuckles with under your wraps, it helps a surprising amount. Bag gloves are nice, but I really wouldn't recommend them as your first/only set. I've always seen them as the pair of running shoes that I can wear down while keeping my nice stuff fresh

[@maryjanehansen7947]

i never thought to prioritize something by what is good for beginners because eventually you wont be a beginner anymore and in the end it doesn't matter

[@mimi-fw3kt]

true

[@alann5003]

I have the hayabusa s4/ The wrist support is amazing.

[@pichluy]

The venum is for sparring with your partner.

[@combat_corp]

They are a training glove so yes you can spar with them as well as other things!

[@lewisjones284]

The S4's will get you the most females based off of look alone. Sometimes you have to consider the priorities of a boxing glove, hence why they are my go to. Oh, and they're also durable and won't crack for a long time.
