Jack Dempsey said to never use bulky gloves on a heavy bag (ever). He valued hand and wrist conditioning as well as proper targeting/accuracy above knocking a bag around with puffy gloves.
Matt Brian I can see why these gloves have really shocked me the feel you get on the bag is awesome you also HAVE to punch correctly with the knuckles-great gloves👊🏼👍🏼
@@Fit2Box oddly enough, in his book, he explains that your ring-knuckle should be where you try to land your power punches. When you wear thin mitts, you can start to understand the power lines he describes. Fascinating stuff taken from an era not far removed from bare knuckle power punching. He was trained by old timers and his power shocked his opponents.
Matt Brian great information 👊🏼👍🏼
I love his methods! I find the shoulder-whirl is more effective than the pivot in really throwing your weight.
Jack Dempsey also avoided a Middleweight like the plague lol.
"A pair of pitta breads" 😂😂😂 give this guy a job on HBO!
The Enforcer 😁😂🤣
Hey mate just wanted to stop by and thank you for the insightful review, helped me pull the trigger on these beauties! Love working the bag with em'! Every boxer should have a pair in their arsenal!
These gloves made my fists drastically stronger i can't say more than these are superb for training.
100% agree👊🏼👍🏼
Wicked, I asked about your opinion on these a few videos ago... Glad you got em! :)
I just ordered a pair of these of the Loma blue and yellow edition. Beside working on speed on the heavy bag, I can see these being useful for the double end bag, and reflex ball head band as well. For anyone that has used a tennis ball headband, they know how difficult it can be, as you have to hit it precisely with your middle knuckle for it to bounce back properly if you are not wearing gloves.
Great bag work - I have some RB10s and RB11s - like to swop my gloves but RB5 now on order
Nice review. I wanna get the rival Guerrero bag gloves but they dont have it in their inventory anymore. It came back but as loma colors only and that sold out super quick.
I love these mitts ! i got them cuz of the vid and so glad i did ... they are GREAT to throw upper cuts in!! they really do promote proper punching n fist technique !!! although i did get an annoying cut on my right hand index knuckle ! but i think that was cuz of wrong fist form wen my fist n bag make impact.... 10/10 5 stars A+
F2B: yet another spot on review, cheers mate. I've been using the RB 5 bag mitts for @ 4 years on heavy, double end and speed bags and love them for all the reasons in the review and the many informed expert comments below. i have one pair in my normal size large to use with conventional wraps to toughen knuckles and wrists and a pair in XL to use with the excellent Fortress Boxing quick wraps to rip the heavy bag at full power for 8 rounds with no issues at all. One point Russ Anber makes about the RB 5 is in addition to toughening up knuckles and wrists, they condition fast twitch muscles more than heavier gloves. Using them with the Fortress Wraps gives that extra protection and support when desired without compromising the fast twitch effect.
Michael Hogue thank you 🙏🏼 and great comment thanks for sharing👊🏼👍🏼
How big are you? My hand measurements suggest a S size, but there is no way that could be right. I'm 240 lbs and have relatively long fingers. What size would you suggest? I plan on using them without wraps.
Edit: Is the difference between S and XL only in width or is it in (vertical) length too?
I watch this video and I immediately went and purchased a pair of these right after and today I had a real good bag session with them at the club for around right before I use my 16 oz gloves and so glad I did it truly trained me to hit properly
Thanks for the feedback great to hear👊🏼👍🏼
Hello, Just a quick question, I use 2.5m hand wraps, my weight is 84kg and hand circumference is 21inches. It mentions L would fit me, but I've seen people mention to buy one size small (M). Would be grateful you can tell me what size would suit me best. Thanks.
I have recently tried RB5, RB10, RB11, RB50 and Guerrero HDE-F, I have to say that Russ Amber is correct, this is really the best bag gloves among these, and Guerrero is 2nd.
Why are there 2 different versions of the black glove? One has orange mesh the other one is black mesh
Great review! Do you think you could wear 180-200 inch hand wraps with these?
Joshua James Thankyou 🙏🏼 yes that length would be fine(always use handwraps with these)👊🏼👍🏼
They come in 3 sizes what size would you recomwnd
These or the phenom bag mitts? Any opinions
From someone who’s boxer for 20 years, you have a great left hook and your uppercuts ain’t too shabby
Thankyou 🙌🏼👍🏼
I trained with this man when I was in the UK. He said he sparred some rounds with GGG and got the best of him and I believe it.
Salute
Lol
@Fit2Box which do you prefer the Rival rb5 or the rb50? I can’t decide between the 2. Thanks for the reviews
Here is my bag glove list on my website
Scroll down both gloves are rated and ranked 👍🏼

@@Fit2Box thank you!
Fit2box! Any idea how good the rival bag gloves rb11 are? Im torn between getting that and the sabas pro series.
John Vallejo both very good gloves
So close I would say I would really come down to your personal choice Re style👊🏼👍🏼
Fit2Box i know heavybag gloves have different padding compared to an all around training glove,but is the padding so significantly different in terms of protection?
John Vallejo if they are specific bag gloves then normally they will have padding designed to work best and last longer on the bag👊🏼👍🏼
What is the highest percentage of power on the bag that have you used with these gloves?
FLBoyCanScrap you can proper whack the heavy bags in these
Always wear Handwraps as well but once your hands are conditioned to using them you can punch full power👊🏼👍🏼
i think i no which gloves I'm getting next !
Hey fit2box, im planning to get my hands in these. I wonder if those L sized gloves are too big / small for you with handwraps on. I'm around 13.5 stone and 6'2 tall.
Thanks a lot!
Large will be fine (with Handwraps) for you
@@Fit2Box Cheers mate, looking forward on receiving them!
@@ppshchik did they fit?
Great review. I also have the RB10's which I love. I want to get these mitts but I am unsure about the size I should get. I noticed you bought your RB5's size large. What size are your RB10's ? Mine are size large and they fit well so I guess I should get the RB5's in the same size. I've read they run kind of large and that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
master ofrevolt yes the Rb5 do run big
Mine are large but medium could fit me
They feel great on the bag👊🏼👍🏼
Thanks. I might get the medium then
Fiesta ST I’m 6,4 not big hands
I liked the large
@Fiesta ST I chose medium after asking a customer service representative at Rival. They are snug but fit OK. Large would probably work as well. I have slightly bigger hands than most guy's my size if I go by Rival's hand size measurements (on their site).
@@masterofrevolt106 I was confused by Rivals hand chart. I measured my hand at 9 inches around under the knuckles. This would put me at XL. I dont have large hands and would have ordered medium.
What size is your hand?
which want do you prefer rb5 bag gloves or cleto reyes bag gloves?
hazran zawawi
I like the RB5s I think they are class👊🏼👍🏼
Hey @fit2box I have a 8.3” hand circumference and I was wondering if I should get a size small or a size medium, I am a 150 pounds
Best to Check with rival
I’ve seen other reviewers say that bag mitts don’t require handwraps underneath. Do you still feel wraps are necessary with these?
💯 I would ALWAYS use handwraps under bag mitts
To me Not worth the risk of injuring the small bones in the hands or knuckles or even straining a wrist and really for what benefit?🤷🏻♂️
When you spar you’d wear handwraps
Same when you fight
unless you have tape and gauze which is even more protective
Better to be safe than sorry
Hand injuries can last weeks / months / years
Sometimes hands are never the same again
Always Protect the tools 🥊
I thought hand wraps are a major part in wrist and hand protection.
Always use these with hand wraps👊🏼👍🏼
You Should React To Dontaes Boxing Nations Video Its Called Heated Sparring Session Will Clemons VS Christian
@fit2box, Do you recommend to measure Hand Circumference with or without hand wraps?
For these with
@@Fit2Box
Thanks 🙏
I like bare fist on heavy bag. I don’t like hitting the bag much with gloves on. Same thing with double end bag I don’t like using wraps or gloves.
I do mma so I normally use 16oz gloves no wraps for bag and sparring. I also have 14 and 4oz gloves. My 14oz are Yokkao Muay Thai Boxing Gloves. They are great for blocking kicks and support. 4oz are Combat Corner mma sparring gloves. They provide good protection with padding.
did your hands eventually callus and stopped getting all cut up ?
@@davidrlifts yeah they did but I switched over to mainly BJJ the last year. It’s more fun twisting peoples joints and watching the life drain from their eyes. I occasionally still do striking but not very often.
I still never wrapped hands and prefer bare fist on bag. I do grappling gi or nogi 3-4 days a week now at least. I find there is so much more depth to it than striking. With striking you can get pretty good in 3-6 months. With grappling it takes so much longer.
@@shawnmartin1306 Yeah man. I was thinking that I'd take classes on striking seldom, every now and then to get pointers and train striking on my own. And train some form of grappling 3 days a week.
I have thin wrists. Can you give me some pointers on how to condition the wrists? Also, do you train wrestling at all? I'm stuck on whether I should find a place that trains wrestling first or go straight to Jiu Jitsu. Whatever pointers you got on all this I'd appreciate heavy man.
@@davidrlifts so I do train different grappling arts. I train wrestling for takedowns, judo for takedowns, catch wrestling for better top pressure and bjj for all around submissions. The place I train has 4 BJJ black belts that teach, a bunch of guys who wrestled in college, 2 Judo black belts that teach and owner teaches catch wrestling. So lots of grappling going on there.
Honestly I have thick wrists. I love luxury watches and have a collection if Tudor, Grand Seiko, Hamilton, Breitling and others. My wrists are 8in. Some watches I actually have to buy extra links even when buying them new because my wrists are thick. Just training at a good mma gym your body will get used to it.
What size should i get im a 14 stone guy atm but in good shape id be around 13 13 and half stone should i get l or xl
saim hossain depends on the size of your hands
I would ask Rival to advise but the will need some hand measurements 👊🏼👍🏼
@@Fit2Box yh thks measured my hands there are guidelines on the rival website got a large
@@saimhossain2348 hope it's not to late but I got these gloves in large and I find it a bit too much. I usually got no problem with large size but when I'll order a new pair it Wille be in medium which I haven't do in years.
@@valegendre yes lool im waiting to do the same love the gloves but bit too big medium would be perfect
I actually feel less protection on the bag is better. But I'm someone who doesn't wrap their hands, never have in ten plus years of training. I've always believed in knuckle conditioning, making use of those microfractures to boost bone density and literally make your hands heavier. I used to even hit the bag bare knuckle (though with very limited power) when I first started training to force myself to punch properly. I feel its helped a lot throughout the years and I've never injured my hands in over ten years of training at least 3 days a week generally 2-4hr sessions.
Won’t you break your hand
Looks like a glorified hand wrap! Not much knuckle protection there but they seemed to do the job 👊
How have theses gloves held up after couple years of use
Really good
They soften but there is not much knuckle padding to ‘go’ so they last a long time
Are these gloves suitable for mitt works?
Yes always make sure you use wraps they are better on the bags though
@@Fit2Box thank you sir.
Is people have knuckle issues can use this glove
champ 95 if people have knuckle issues I wouldn't use these as they may make them worse, there is hardly any knuckle padding but great for hand conditioning👊🏼👍🏼
Yea do not
Would you recommend these or 4oz MMA gloves for bag work/ conditioning
I have never used 4oz MMA gloves on a bag so I wouldn’t know🤷🏻♂️
These are good for hand conditioning and correct punch technique
I just wish they had an open thumb design
Cut the thumb with scissors
Do you like the rb10 better then the rb50?
Here is my list

Hello which height tall are you?
6 foot 4inches
Do you wear handwraps when you're wearing them?
Yes always👊🏼👍🏼
Fiesta ST mainly horizontal but occasionally out a vertical one in to mix it up👊🏼👍🏼
I feel like you're punches were faster than normal.
Curtis Frost well I normally wear 16oz gloves on the bag and sparring and these weigh hardly anything so yes my hands are much faster in these👊🏼👍🏼
Amir Khan uses these
I saw that and he has been training in Phenom boxing gloves -review coming soon👀👊🏼👍🏼
They come with a cancer warning. A car with no brakes means you’ll be a better driver lol
