Long requested, the "Heavy Hitters" Mexican style glove made by the biggest muay thai company in the world dipped their hands in professional boxing and did a pretty good job! The BGV9 is Fairtex's take on a professional puncher's glove in the boxing world but has the same classic Fairtex quality and craftmanship. A unique quality and hybrid glove that anyone who is looking to try a puncher's glove out would absolutely love! As always, any recommendations or thoughts, post in the comments below! - Sport
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
I’m either getting these or the new Reyes gloves, thanks for your time my friend I’ll be back for more definitely subbing
Glad u posting
Never saw you hit the bag before. Surprised by that hand speed!
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
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! 🙏🏻
If you haven't get a more padded glove. These are basically a cleto copy. The padding will break in and compact.
terrific reviews!
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.
I own 5x pairs and my main 2x pairs for bag work and sparring. Best gloves ever purchased and very articulate for sure! Best!
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,
@@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.
@@hahgotem9466 these are really good for sparring as it has a good fit and the knuckle area as well. Articulate especially with advanced fighters coming in the ring most of the time needed something light and swift.
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.
why do you think these r better than reyes? im currently deciding between these and reyes
@@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.
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.
Hey champ! I actually own a pair of these and Im hyped to see you review them. Keep em comin!
Are tg hey soft or hard
@@anthonyduran2463 Somehwere in between. These gloves are for heavy hitters and its protective on the inside. Cant say the same for the poor fellow getting punched by these
@@anthonyduran2463 they're hard, I own a pair
@@anthonyduran2463 great bag gloves great kit gloves only great sparring if you hate your sparring partners
nice vid as always! if I already have Reyes, any real need to have these over them other than I love mex style gloves? lol
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? I was also considering the fact of buying another pair only for bag/mitt work, maybe 12 oz... Thank you so much!
I have a pair arriving in 2 days. Thank for the review
How are they? Were the gloves good? Im planning to get these
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 😬.
Yeah but slippery leather also slips off the target.
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.
Thanks bruh got mine but black and yellow 🥊🖤💛
Ooooo lemme know how you like em!
I love the pop, the leather quality, the inside of the glove is amazing for me got 16oz im 5'7 guy feels amazing 😊
Love to hear it! @@AthleticDaddyJoe
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.
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 :)
Hello there,
Topboxer alien vs bgv9 fairtex, which one would you choose?
hey people would like to buy the boxing gloves, but I'm not sure because I have rather narrow wrists. They are also suitable for narrower wrists
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
I would get hayabusas they are good all around and you can get their all leather version and get a smaller tighter fit
@@heythere6983overpriced and not great for sparring
Are these good for overall training? Bag work and light sparring?
Would you choose these over the Cleto Reyes gloves?
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.
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
@@combat_corp Thank you so much. Keep up the great work on the vids!
Could you please tell me the difference between BGV9 and BGV6? I'm trying to decide between these two.
Hey, bgv9 vs win1 which you would choose?
Any recommendations for Velcro gloves that have very good wrist support? Would these be good? Thank you
Great video as usual, thanks! I have the exactly same gloves and also a pair of the BGL7 (same but with laces), both in 14oz. I am 6feet tall and 160 pounds and now I want to get some Cletos (training with velcro), would you stick with 14oz or 16oz? Don't planning to use them for sparring. Thanks in advance!
Which glove is more dense in the knuckle padding. Bgv1 or bgv9? I feel my knuckles too much in the Bgv1 so looking for a glove with more padding for the bag
Do you prefer these or topboxer aliens?
Are these the “minor change” version?
Are they 16oz exact or heavy in weight like traditional Mexican Style gloves
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.
Hole opened up on the outside of the glove, outside index finger area right above the thumb and now tiny foam particles fly out when I punch with that left glove
@@nyashnader1 On these gloves in the video?
Which one you find better this or the infinitude raptor extreme
Ended up buying these gloves because of this video. Very satisfied but needs a real break in period.
What size do I need to buy if I weigh 145lbs and I have skinny hands, I will wear without hand wraps, thank you
@@John-xp3dh not sure how skinny your hands are but probably a 10 or 12 oz. You would need a 14-16 oz tho for sparring.
@@JulioGomez-gc1qh hey how are the gloves are they good? Im planning to buy it
@@user-gc1gi8fp2x The gloves are great specially if you punch really hard. Very protective but tight at first, so you really got to put in the time to break it in. The only downside to me is the finger bar but after a few punches you kinda get used to it and creates a very good snap. You won't regret buying it. Side note: I compared it with Cletos and the shape is pretty close to it.
Hey can you do a review on 'Leone 1947' boxing gloves?
Which pair my friend? I have the 75 year edition is that what you are referring to?
@@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.
Is this a Great alternative for cleto Reyes ?
fairtex bgv9 vs topboxer aliens vs reyes for long bagwork sessions for a puncher?
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.
hey for a beginner boxer doing mitt and bag work would you recommend these bvg9 or fighting boxing gloves?
Fairtex
They will last you forever
Uh boy, I'm in a mental conundrum. These or some Top Kings, for bags and mitts? Heeeeelp!😂
Top Kings literally don't fit my hand half the time so I say fairtex lol
@@combat_corp 😂 Fairtex it is. I appreciate it, brother!
I got those and my thumb can poke where u can see it behind the leather,it’s almost like there is a splint on the inside of the thumb area where my thumb can be in between.Hey Al are you having the same thing or does that mean I got a damaged one. Because both gloves have that thing.
That sounds like a defect to me honestly
Are these okay for Muay Thai? As in do they have padding on the sides, backhand, and palm for checking kicks and elbows and such?
I think twins are better for muay thai
Bgv1 is fairtex’s best thai style glove
Did you find the lining in the thumb and at the end of the fingers to be a completely different, rougher material?
Just put them on for a minute after reading this comment. No, they feel the same to me as the rest of the glove
@@combat_corp Thank you for hitting me back. This may be a new change or a quality control issue at Fairtex as I've just spoken to a reputable shop here in Thailand ; he tried them on and said - yeah, they're really rough, no lining at all. Even a regular polyester/satin lining can irritate thumbs and fingers when sweaty and training a lot...
Has anyone tried the BGV21? I can't find a review on them anywhere.
I need a pair of these🤣 I’m sick of getting bullied in spar with them there like bombs hitting you 😂
hows the support on these ? Also, are they comparable to cletos? considering the price
Recoil and feel wise...yes they are pretty close to the reyes and have that true puncher's feel. The wrist support is really good on these actually and the knuckle padding isn't bad at all. I would say they are for sure a rival to Reyes but Reyes will always be king for me.
What ist better? Fairtex BGV9 Heavy Hitter or Rival RB 10!
Bgv9 for overall training, rb10 for bags
Cool review! I weigh 62 kg (137 lbs), would you recommend a 12 oz or a 14 oz? I’m seeking to improve my form and get nice feedback out of these
14 oz I would recommend
@@combat_corp will they be light enough to train for accuracy?
I think so personally but that might be a matter of preference unfortunately @@reyhanavivi594
@@combat_corp HAHA yea you couldn’t be more correct. Thanks for the feedback, hope your channel keeps growing!
Thank you so much! It only keeps growing when I have great comments a questions like yours so keep em coming! @@reyhanavivi594
Would you recommend these for people with long skinny fingers?
Hard to answer because I do not have long skinny fingers but in general, some thai gloves do not have the biggest hand compartments suited for long fingers. I'd say these are a better option for Fairtex gloves if you had longer fingers
do they thick seam cover on the fingertips area that you can clamp your fingers down into like winning one ?
I’d say it’s better personally, it feels more like a second grip bar.
Want to send you my boxing gloves for review plz
Do they overweight?
is the hand much smaller than the bg1 or about the same?
Super good question! I'd say pretty dang equal maybe slightly more small because the way the padding presses into the hand compartment but it stretches out great!
These or rb50 for bag work?
RB50 for plain bag work I'd say but these aren't bad at all! I'd honestly rather a plain bag mitt over either
how is the liner compared to reyes
A little rougher IMO
I believe for pure Boxers like me the bgv1 are too dangerous hurting your sparring partner. The padding looks too less and thin.
Exactly why a lot of boxers avoid Thai gloves like that!
Can you use these for sparring? i already have the 10oz and i'm planning to buy the 14/12 oz for sparring
How are the 10oz gloves are they good do they last long?
@@cesaranguino841 Amazing, the manufacturing and the leather is top notch, great wrist support and the padding is dense and it sounds like gun shots when I'm hitting the bag. Best pair of gloves I've tried so far
@@cesaranguino841 I bought them like a month ago so I don't know, but the quality of the glove is really good and they look durable
@@korhit553 how are they now? Still good? Im planning to get this
@@user-gc1gi8fp2x Still brand new, they're amazing
That's why Saenchai's last name is Saenchai PK Muay Thai Gym. So, he's literally introduced as Saenchai Saenchai PK Muay Thai Gym. From what I can tell, he did it on purpose because it's hilarious
Что он говорит?
Fun fact: most of the puncher type boxer don't have a one punch power
Elaborate
Is it the padding?
Bgv1 or 9?
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
@@combat_corphi bgv 9 or 11 or 19 for kickboxing. There are too many of these models :)
Might be biased because I like them a lot bu the BGV11s are a great glove I have to review them soon@@Marianos-xn9ni
@@combat_corp I ordered two days ago 9 but somehow I was more headed for 11 and today I still saw 19 and I'm already crazy hahah :) I'll order 11 May nice color :)
Horrible gloves. Finger compartment is small. Yet overall compartment is large. Takes a long time to work in
I have bgv1's and I use them because the finger compartment is longer than any other glove I've tried. Do you say the bgv9 has a shorter finger compartment?
@@JoelTGM yes. I also have bgv1 and they are a lot more comfortable
They’re kinda roomy inside tbh
I have a weakness for Fairtex...
Hurt my fingers. Can't make a good fist
I'm sorry to heart that! You must have longer fingers than mine!
@@combat_corp actually I got short fingers. But I don't seem to be able to make a good fist which leads to my finger knuckles/joints hitting the bag instead of the "hand knuckles"
I didn't have that issue with other gloves. I heard Mexican gloves are unforgiving but my fingers definitely stick out further than if I make a fist without or with another glove.
Do the gloves just need to be broken in? Was planning to send them back otherwise
I have the 10oz version
Hi, bgv9 owner here. I use the 12 oz, They're great after 2 months of me breaking them in on seperate days. I use them exclusively for bag and pads though as I am in love with the feedback it makes. My issue is the same with yours for the first few weeks of me getting them. Give them a chance! Wear them randomly throughout the day, punch the bags or hell even the wall. It's amazing now and I like them more as a bag glove than my winnings due to the better pop they make.
