Fairtex BGV9 Heavy Hitter Mexican Style Training Gloves Review

[@elbrri8066]

I'ma tell u something bro I've been boxing for years I've use Mexican gloves for very long time Like Casanova and cleto Reyes and boy I'ma say this bgv9 model is the best . I rank them higher than cleto and them no bs Hightly recommend them

[@sch9884]

What’s better Casanova or cleto?

[@CrownedOneBoxing]

Never saw you hit the bag before. Surprised by that hand speed!

[@combat_corp]

The trick is to increase the speed of the video by 10 percent! Lol I'm Jk. I used to be a middleweight (boxing) and I always wanted to be as fast as Roberto Duran as a kid. SO I always practiced speed. Thank you for the compliment

[@josefgritzel7923]

My go to gloves. No matter which pair i rotate to i always go back to these. Better than any other genuine mexican gloves in my opinion. I have sabas. New sporting. Cletos. Necalli. Absolute work horses.

[@hahgotem9466]

why do you think these r better than reyes? im currently deciding between these and reyes

[@josefgritzel7923]

@@hahgotem9466 i think there better made and a lot more durable mate. I have 14oz for bags an pads and 16oz for sparring. If it's training gloves similar to reyes then for me these win hands down and especially half the price. Dont get me wrong not knocking reyes i have 2 pairs of them there brilliant gloves, but if i had to choose then these fairtex are the ones. You wont be disappointed. The feedback and crack when you hit the bag or pads is beautiful. I like the grip bar positioning aswell and the way the velcro strap doesnt pull the skin on the wrist.

[@JulioGomez-gc1qh]

I compared the silhouette of the 2022 cleto Reyes hook and loop and the early 2000s my friend had. The BGV 9 has the same shape as the 2000's style cleo Reyes minus the thumb placement.

[@JrGabuya]

I own 5x pairs and my main 2x pairs for bag work and sparring. Best gloves ever purchased and very articulate for sure! Best!

[@hahgotem9466]

you use these bgv9s for sparring? i heard its too stiff. im searching for a good 16oz all rounder that will be used majority for bag. i see good things bout the bgv9s, win1s and aliens but the win1s in 16oz are too soft for the bag,

[@JrGabuya]

@@hahgotem9466 currently using Winnings atm and i have to say thank you for the reviews and i can agree with you on the pillows hehe. I use both 8's and 16's now and I have to say its worth the investment since im training professionally too. Im.a hard hitter and helps with my knuckles.

You should always weigh the gloves. Actual weights / manufacturer trends are good to know, but more importantly, differences L & R are a good indication of quality control. Nonetheless, your reviews are very worthwhile. Thanks very much.

[@acartaylan]

Hello there, Topboxer alien vs bgv9 fairtex, which one would you choose?

[@hahgotem9466]

fairtex bgv9 vs topboxer aliens vs reyes for long bagwork sessions for a puncher?

[@archiei40x]

Depends on what you're looking for and how big your hands are. How much you care for comfort level and durability vs price. Out of the three, Reyes have better leather and roomier compartment for me. Prob the least comfy out of the 3 due to lining and thumb placement but if you want training, I recommend the extra padding variant. For price, Fairtex is the least expensive if you're patient to get them from Thailand, will take anywhere from 2-3months for shipping, at least in my experience but you pay 1/4 the price of Reyes. If you want custom, Alien from TB is great and unmatched. Because it's basically tailored to my hand, it's the most comfortable out of the three. I have to say, Reyes is usually heavier than the listed weight. They have been going less than listed weight recently on some of their gloves and their stitching quality has gone down compared to the ones I bought from early 2010s. So it's a hit or miss, though it's usually a hit, just expect some misses. My previous pair of Reyes extra padding lasted 6yrs, for bag and padwork only and rotating with other gloves. The pads gave out and leather are still good though I take care of em properly. I'd have to say, it's prob the most durable leather out of all the gloves I have but the leather feels different from the newer pair I bought, not as thick... so only time will tell.

[@luapc2221]

[@sugarray1345]

Great review brother. Thank you. I’m looking for another pair of gloves for boxing sparring and I’m thinking about either these, or the Fortress Boxing 2.0 gloves. Knuckle and wrist support is really important to me, as is durability and overall quality. Thank you man. I’m very grateful. Happy Easter bro! 🙏🏻

[@XMetalChefX]

If you haven't get a more padded glove. These are basically a cleto copy. The padding will break in and compact.

[@themightyquinn9843]

terrific reviews!

[@francisfrancis4219]

Fairtex describes padding as dual-layered latex in one sentence, but also as utilising their signature three-layered padding in another sentence. In this regard you describe feeling a firm EVA layer closer to the hand. If all three explanations are correct the padding is dual-layered latex on an EVA base. I did ask Fairtex (Australia) to confirm, but they never replied. Please reinvestigate this. EVA is a negative. A recent BGV5 purchase arrived with the left hand compartment, unusable, crushed out of shape most likely due to tight/squashed storage.

[@user-gs9yc7wx7z]

Thanks for this review! I just got a pair of these in 14oz. I have smallish hands and I found the compartment quite wide but they worked well with the thickness of my hand (like between my palm and back of hand). I didnt think they were tight though, at least compared to titles, which I find quite tight @16oz before breaking in. I think it's actually roomier than my friend's cletos @14oz. But Your hands are much much bigger than mine. You also didn't mention the finger-tip grip bar, which is one of my favourite bits about these gloves. It's nice to just have something extra to grip on. I also found the leather to be really slippery, which might help punches slip through the guard 😬.

[@francisfrancis4219]

Yeah but slippery leather also slips off the target.

[@jackd6372]

I live in Bali and train in heat and humidity. On my first two pairs of these the leather failed and split open on the wrist after 11 months both times . Maybe due to sweat . I train 3 x week

[@omarsabbagh499]

Which pair my friend? I have the 75 year edition is that what you are referring to?

[@omarsabbagh499]

@@combat_corp Funny enough I was thinking about the anniversary edition but also their 'SHOCK' boxing gloves they have. Plus I was actually thinking of buying the BGV9 because of my Leone 1947 'revolution' were breaking apart after 3 years.

[@Lektuerekurs]

There is something built into the gloves at the region of the fingertips which is just in the way. For my hands/fingers at leats. As awesome as they seem they go right back :C And as said in the video, catching a parry in these would really suck on the fingertips as well I imagine.

[@tkrticka]

thanks for you detailed reviews, very enjoyable! i got these in 14 oz and i also have quite large hands and i find them very uncomfortable because of that. i would say that my fingertips get squished the most where the grip bar is. can you tell me if this is something that will get worn in? is the inside roomier in 16 oz you think or is it like most gloves that the inside stays the same throughout all sizes? thanks :)

[@joshualee5215]

Hi! This channel is amazing, I really like your videos😄 I wanted to buy a new pair of gloves for sparring and I was considering buying those in 14 oz (I’m a lightweight). What do you think?

Great channel, I love to watch your reviews.. Maybe you can help me also, I’m relatively new to boxing and now is time to buy some 16oz gloves for sparring but also for heavy bag sometimes(I have some cheap everlast 12oz that I bought when I started to train).. I decided to buy some good gloves, I thought about Cleto Reyes but after your review I’m not sure are they good for beginner? I want some tight,comfortable gloves for start and I have relatively small hands, but I use hand wraps.. What gloves would you recommend? My budget is up to 250€? I watched this Fairtex,Rival RS11V, Hayabusa T3... But I’m rookie, I don’t know what is good for me, I would prefer genuine leather and durable gloves that are also good for beginner(I train for around 1year till now).. Thanks in advance

Love your vids man! I look for your vids before I make a purchase on a pair. Can you recommend a good punchers glove for muay thai? My 16 oz bgv1 just has too much room inside.

[@combat_corp]

Reyes I like for any form of combat sport but strictly for muay thai, I'd say the bgv1s but you said they are too big. A good alternative for me would be to try Yokkao. They are pretty pillowish but I love punching like crazy in them they are very comfy and break in extremely well. Otherwise, Triumph united death adders are not all that bad. Twins special has some nice options but for what you are looking for in general, it is always a safe bet for Windy! Decha is pretty solid too, not quite a true puncher but they are great gloves

[@nyashnader1]

Hey man, I’d love to get your input if using gloves without wraps is ok for the glove. Assuming the hand is conditioned to where hand injury is not a concern, I’m wondering if no wraps wear the inside of the glove out quicker due to the less padding and no moisture wicking making sweat go straight into the glove. My 10 year old bgv1 wore out this last year, not sure if it’s because of age or because I stopped using wraps and left the moisture in for a couple days before realizing how wet they stayed inside with no wraps.

Loaded question. If you are looking for a glove that is great for clinching, to punch through someone's guard, and that is overall better for muay thai work I'd say the BGV1 but it has a small wrist cuff which is not that great for overall wrist support. But if you are doing more punch based boxing/kickboxing that doesn't utilize the clinch as much and has better wrist support, BGV9 is a great choice. Maybe I'll do a video on this

It's amazing now and I like them more as a bag glove than my winnings due to the better pop they make.
