Cleto Reyes High Precision Boxing Gloves REVIEW- IMPRESSIVE PERFORMING GLOVE WITH ONE BIG FLAW!

[@dapittbulldragon]

Bro the vast amount of knowledge on how a glove is supposed to feel and even suggestions to the manufacturer is very impressive. You've become a glove connoisseur

[@davidsavage3405]

No prob

[@matthewmayfield8095]

I had to wait until 15:40 for my answer. And When you said you want to love these so much, I felt that 😔 I love Reyes so much but they’re hell on my thumbs so nope on these.

[@csquaredboxing]

Lol yup sorry man

[@michikohurai]

I love cleto reyes, they're my favorite brand

[@fillyal85]

Wow I thought I was the only one who complained about the thumb discomfort-everything else is perfect on the glove, but after 2 rounds, my thumbs start cramping up and I have to take them off. I had no idea it was the piping causing that problem- I used to think it was the way I wrapped my hands or the way I clenched my fists

[@edwardkrizhanovsky4670]

This review is exactly what I wanted now🥊👍

[@csquaredboxing]

🙏🏼👍🏼

[@carbonfiberfan]

If they made their old model as compact as these and more true to weight, they would honestly be the perfect glove.

[@csquaredboxing]

No doubt

[@jpap967]

The thumb on these actually feels better to me than the older extra padding model glove. The extra padding model really used to cut the circulation off from my thumb and it hurt quite a bit after a while. I got these gloves in Guadalajara for $2600 pesos while on vacation, about $130 USD

[@csquaredboxing]

👍🏼🥊

[@mtmatt6111]

Incredibly helpful information. The thumb is a deal breaker for me. I’m still really happy with my Combat Corner HMIT Mexican gloves thanks to your review. I like them so much I have both the lace up and velcro versions. The wrist support on the velcro is very close to the lace ups - really great all around gym gloves. Your reviews are the best!

[@csquaredboxing]

thanks man agreed on the thumb

[@maxrey4055]

How is the hand compartment with your HMIT's? I saw a review that they were pretty snug . Also did they take a while to break in?

[@roberthsu3640]

I was going to say they look like they copied the designed of combat corner lol

[@seangao6205]

I received the Reyes high precision in black/gold 14oz. Been using the Winning RS training 12oz for bag work and 14oz for sparring. For me the first time to use the Reyes. Here is a quick comparison review: Quality: The winning is superior hands down, feels much more premium overall. The leather with Reyes is very solid and durable which I actually like even slightly more, compared to the Winning's softness. However, the liner inside the glove is where Reyes can’t really compete - the stitching is off and there’re noticeable defects (even exposed foam). Feel a bit messy tbh. Ergo/Comfort: The Reyes hold the hand tight for its size. I’ll say the Reyes 14oz feels in between Winning 12 and 14 (both of which I own) tightness wise. The Reyes feels better on the knuckle and finger area. It inspires you to punch harder… There is one thing the Reyes is leagues ahead of winning - the wrist protection. Feels so great being tightly wrapped and “solidified” in position. The winning is lacking so much here. However, the deal breaker (yes I mean it) is the thumb position, as mentioned in the video. It is way too “out”. Very uncomfortable. And definitely a little break-in cannot fix it. It's positioned so wide out that you’ll be fighting the whole thing trying to make a normal fist with thumb in. The Reyes punches great. The 14oz definitely feel more impact than the winning 12oz, which make me feel like a harder puncher. TBH I love the way Reyes feels. The tightness (for the size) and punching impact is why I bought this particular new model in the first place. But, in the end, not gonna use it. The thumb problem simply breaks the deal. I imagine it will be a serious problem for many too. The Reyes should hot fix the thumb with a V2 - which could be the perfect puncher's glove. I’ll buy again.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks for sharing

[@Jake-ns5pf]

Do you spar witht he reyes 14oz?

[@thomasaguilar2557]

Your review is right on. After you did your unboxing video,I ordered a pair. Got mine in gold/black, 14 oz. Great gloves but I’m stilling going through the break in period. I can’t get my hand into the gloves with my boxraw knuckle guard and wraps. Too tight and yes, the thumb is uncomfortable. Hopefully after they loosen up, they will feel better. But good as expected Reyes quality. I would still buy knowing what I know now. Keep up he great reviews.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks brother, wish they would get the thumb right

[@RacerX-124]

What size Boxraw knuckle guard to you wear? I'm debating on getting those to use in my 16oz Reyes training gloves on days when my hands ache, and as it is I can barely fit a Winning NG2 in there with 180" wraps.

[@thomasaguilar2557]

@@RacerX-124 Mine are S/M knuckle guards and I use 180 wraps. Boxraw recommends 120 wraps with the knuckle guards. You don’t have to wrap so many times around your knuckles with the boxraw guards.

[@fs2themax]

Thanks for the review Carlo. I know what you mean about the thumb piping...I had a pair of gloves that were almost unwearable because the thumb was so tight. Regarding the incremental pricing for weight, I believe Winning has a similar price model where their prices increase as the glove weight goes up. It might be a material thing. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@csquaredboxing]

Agreed man thanks

[@Athlete_Profile]

Hey, would you recommend these gloves, the Cleto Reyes Traditional Training Gloves (lace up version) or the Traditional Hook and Loop Training Gloves for everyday boxing work? Been trying to decide between these three and having a real hard time narrowing it down to just one.

[@MarcusJGadson_CFA]

Agree with you statement about the thumb portion of a the Cleto Reyes gloves. I have the Hook & Loop in a 18 oz, and the thumb part feels a bit awkward. Love the quality of the glove, but I hope they make a glove with a more comfortable thumb area.

[@nelsonjeremias5087]

Hi Great review. Are the extra padding Cleto Reyes better?

[@csquaredboxing]

I still prefer these

[@heraldwinkler662]

Bro, I just got these same color in 16oz yesterday and tried them on today. Sadly it is way too tight. I had to take out my winning ng2 guards and grenades that I saw from your videos and it would not fit at all. I even had just hand wraps and it was too tight. My hands are small as I am a 5'6 Filipino lol but it still hurt my hands and thumb. Have to return these. Sad because glove feels great! Still waiting on the primo emblems 16oz in red stock early November of this year. Also, maybe its just me, but I feel like my fairtex bgv9 mexican style gloves make a better pop on the bag than these cletos.

[@csquaredboxing]

Yeah man they’re too snug fitting around the the thumb

Hi your reviews are very good. For you which boxing glove is better, Cleto Reyes extra padding or Cleto Reyes High Precision?

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks, I prefer the high precision.

[@sm208]

Thanks for the review! Do you think this is an attempt by Reyes to have a glove that is comparable to Winning? I'm curious if these would be a worthy Cleto alternative to over-priced Winning gloves?

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks man. I think this glove is more closely aligned to a rival type glove. More compact with a tapered wrist closure. I think they wanted something more suitable for bag work that gives good pop but isn’t bulky

[@erdincsevencan6314]

Thank for the indepth review. Just what I needed. Even the thumb stitching is a little bit tight, it’s not a deal breaker for me. I have a black 12 OZ Training Glove for a double end bag to work on my speed and a red 14 OZ Extra Padding for my 135 pounds heavy bag to work on my power punches. This high precision model is a perfect glove that I can place in between the other 2 to add to my collection, I think this will be a perfect all around glove for the heavy bag, double end bag, mitts and sparring because of its absorbing softer foam. I’m going for the black/gold so I have a little bit of every colour. How is the thumb feeling now after 3 months, did you used it regularly? Keep the reviews coming, full support here from Belgium 👍🏽

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks and still tight around thumb

[@DaneLaJoy]

Do you consider these gloves to be some of the best when it specifically comes to hitting a super heavy bag with hard hitting punches? For hand/knuckle protection.

[@csquaredboxing]

For hand protection? No, for pop and feedback, yes

[@DaneLaJoy]

@@csquaredboxing in your opinion, what glove do you think would have the best protection for throwing heavy shots into the bag. Any brand. Appreciate the reply!

[@howardbarbakoff4108]

Not too crazy about these new ones. Been considering ordering a pair of the Reyes traditional training gloves for bag work. I prefer a 12 oz glove for bag work. Found a shop that has the Reyes Traditional Training gloves in 10 oz (which seems a bit rare). Do you think the 10's would get me close to 12oz given Reyes reputation of overweight gloves?

[@Alex-xg9zj]

Hi Carlo, do you have the tumb issue with the normal sparring Cleto Reyes? what is the difference between the two gloves, other the fact the the precision one has a snug fit? do you know if the normal ones are true to weight now?

[@sirhamsterlot7736]

I can’t decide whether to get the training or these gloves for bagwork and padwork

[@DarthFerm]

I have had these gloves for about a week and I have broken them in quickly. I train both boxing and Muay Thai and have used many gloves. Since I am Mexican I always use cletos as my main gloves. And let me tell you these gloves feel more like a Thai glove than a boxing glove.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks for sharing

[@phil5394]

Do you think these gloves would be good for a heavyweight? The extra padding gloves are my favorite and are tanks with great protection. Whats your opinion compared to these for our weight class.

All depends on padding preference, these are softer and have a slimmer profile

I've been boxing for 8 years almost now, and I broke my hand couple months ago and had a surgery. Now, I am about to comeback and I am going to buy a new glove in near time. I am a middleweight arround 75-80kg and my hands are medium size. Do you think that I would be able to wear these in 14 ounces with ng-2's as well? Of course after a proper break in process. Also what would you reccomend between this high precision gloves or Everlast powerlock 2's in terms of protection?

It got to my house in Cali is less than a week from Korea, I was super surprised in the quickness of the shipping and quality of headgear. This headgear weights approximately 15 oz much more similar to the winning in style and weight. I got the gold/black but had to settle for the Velcro because that was only one that was gold. Only thing bad is the interior lining is leather so it won’t collect sweat. Other than that I shaped it to fit my head perfect because it’s aluminum.

It's a shame that they have added so many seams to this glove. The big one across the back of the hand looks like a poor design regardless of how smooth it is or how much money it saves. I've been using Necalli's new firm wrap gloves that have the same style strap as these and I love the wrist support and feel of the glove but after half a year they are already showing some serious wear. If these didn't have the huge seam across the face of the glove I'd have bought these.
