- Well folks! This is my longest review yet! I meant to do this review this last week but unfortunately was sick and couldn't get through a video without coughing 100 times per minute. These are my personal favorite gloves ever made and because of the brand and high quality glove they are, I give you the most in depth boxing glove review anyone could ask for! I talk about the history of Cleto Reyes as well as the materials used and how the glove comes together in general. I know 25 minutes may seem like overkill, but when you are investing in gloves like these, YOU SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING YOU CAN!

I appreciate the 'who they are for' and 'who they are not for' part of the review, really helps us out when picking a glove.

I had to watch this video, I’m getting a pair of solid gold Cleto Reyes gloves and head gear too, this video helped a lot thank you💯
This is definitely one of the most in depth, thorough boxing gloves reviews I have ever seen. Well done! My only gripe with the gloves is that the Reyes logo on some pairs peels off real quick and mine was no exception. I have also had a pair of Winnings MS-500 for 3 years and the logo is still intact. But hey, these are athletic equipment so it's a minor issue. Otherwise perfect gloves, love them.
Absolutely! You are for sure not the first to mention that to me! I never had that issue but I have seen other Reyes logos peel off. Not sure why though!
Being a heavyweight, I had to get 18oz. Still a snug fit but I compare these to a top notch baseball glove. Break them in. Great fkn gloves. Best! Great video, thanks.
Just got these in black and white. The leather smell. Wow. They look amazing. I haven’t tried them on the bag and mitts yet but excited to try them
High quality info, just like the gloves. Gonna get a pair 🥊🔥.
Thanks
Nice hands my man, thanks for the review man it helped me choosing which gloves to buy.
I'm glad I could help at least a little bit my friend! And I would not say I have nice hands but thank you!
Bought a cleto reyes due to the introduction and your recommendation. Thank you so much for the insights into this fantastic gloves.
I just got my first pair. I’m in complete love. Wow
THE BEST boxing glove review video in RUclips's histoy. PERIOD ➡ BTW, It'll sound better if you don't sound out the "h". The "h" is SILENT (pretend it's not there). Also, the "cho" part sounds like the "ch" in Chuck, chat, chimp, etc.
Things i like about this channel.
1. VERY NICE SET UP.
2. THIS GUY IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THE GLOVE.
3. THE GUYS KNOWS WHAT THE CUSTOMER NEEDS.
Now I understand why you call Fairtex the Reyes of Muay Thai gloves. Great video as always mate
this is a great in depth review thank you!
Thank you my friend! I hope it was informative!
Thee Combat Corporation just seeing this lol. but you are welcome and yes it was very informative!
Thanks to this review I was able to get a pair of tiger orange 14oz for heavy bag and mitt work 🔥🔥💪🏽
Man, keep up these great in depth reviews!! Whats the name of the song in the intro/outro?
Amazing review - thank you
Thank you for Watchin man!
Great review brother! Very thorough on the details. I trained with nothing but Cleto Reyes gloves when I was an amateur as a young man. Currently using the extra padding model on the heavy bag and like them alot!
I have to get those soon! I love the gloves I can't help it! I am sure you are still a young man at heart! Keep on punchin
@@combat_corp Thanks! Oh I'm always punching brother!
Thanks that was a great review, thanks again.
Keep on grinding 🙏
Thanks for the history on it!
ruclips.net/video/zgwicN7OctY/видео.html 🥊 Cleto reyes
Canelo always supported these till everlast gave him “a deal he couldn’t refuse”
Money talks my Guy
He only uses his own one now
Canelo uses his own Brand gloves “No Boxing No Life”
Pacquiao to this day still uses Cleto Reyes tho.
@@jphtres I assumed they were just customised for CA but I've just looked it up, you're right.
EVerlast pays peolpe to use their gloves in photos lol.
Have you tried the new version of these with the cow hide leather? It looks like the hand compartment is a little slimmer and the padding is shaped a bit different on the knuckles.
I’m a heavyweight and i just got a pair of the traditional training lace ups from CR. I’m gonna try them in the gym today after work. I decided to go for them because I’m trying to get my first fight this year and I do hit pretty hard but my lead hand is the strong one (southpaw so my right hand) and my left wrist is never supported enough by non lace ups. I don’t throw full power with my rear hand because of this wrist issue and it works for me. My lead hand is the more powerful and I have very strong bones so I can throw jabs and hooks bare knuckle for a few rounds on a heavy bag it if I wanted to so I think on paper these might not look like the best gloves for me but from personal experience if I can go full power at length with crappy/ mid tier gloves I’ll be fine with cleto’s.
Are you going to review the new Cleto Reyes High Precision model?! Maybe compare the new ones to the traditional velcro Training gloves?
I was using fairtex in MT training for a few years I recently ventured into laced boxing gloves and I really like the feeling of hitting the pads w these I like the little bounce back they have. I’d like to see them offer these with different logo options. No hand logo as Ali was wearing, small or large hecho logo as Chavez and Tyson had.
Quick question for a friend who wants to get into amateur fights, VENUM HAMMER Pro or this one( both in 16 0z ) for a power puncher(heavy weight guy in HW category , athletic build ) , for heavy bags , mitts and sparring ,both velcro version including thumb support,wrist support, durablity.Which boosts confidence to punch harder you know initially to get that feel for going harder in training as he is trying to climb the ladder in his league. which you recommend overall as you have more experience? For practise sessions obviously as harder the practice easier the fight ! Kindly reply brother!!
Love my Cleto’s, definitely are for someone who has their punching form down. They are so comfortable and the feedback is awesome.
want a pair but they so expensive wont mind paying if they good pair and a comfortable fit with handwraps
Just got mine in the mail today and they feel very stiff
@@youngman7600 have to wear them in.
@@jaquta69 Appreciate the feedback brother. How long did it take for you to break them in. I'm assuming when you first got them you also thought they were pretty stiff? I have a cheap pair of Ringsides that I broke in and I really like them but I wanted some lace uos for sparring. Do any of your sparring partners complain about the glove?
Wondering if anyone has any input/help on a weird situation I have regarding these gloves. I ordered a pair from official Amazon store. One glove ended up basically missing the "slot" in the fingertips that you kind of hook your fingertips behind, so I ordered the exact same pair again (12oz, silver, velcro). The next pair that arrived were VERY different. They look different, feel different, in many ways. One pair weighs almost exactly 12oz each glove, the others were ~16oz (to be clear, they are both labelled 12oz, as I had ordered, but their actual weights when on the scale are 12oz vs 16oz). The lighter pair (the ones that ended up weighing almost exactly the correct 12oz they are supposed to be) have a more noticeable leather grain, a much thinner and less soft foam, not as shiny looking, larger ventilation holes in the thumbs, the "12oz" label is a darker black font, the end of the velcro strap is a rounded end (vs. a slightly more "square" end on the other pair), a smaller and less pronounced font/characters for the stamp that they put on the wrist of each gloves, and more. But the biggest difference is the look and feel of the foam. I'm trying to figure out if one of these pairs is perhaps a counterfeit, or if one may be an older model and Cleto Reyes changed how they make the gloves, or any other reason why these gloves are so drastically different. Overall they both seem to have very high standards in terms of the stitching/quality, but they are clearly very different in other ways.
Thanks for the in-depth review!
Tried a pair of 18oz velcros last week and they're a lot more snug than the 16s. I also heard that they updated the design recently, so their gloves may all fit tighter now. I own a pair of 16oz velcros and a pair of M hybrids, both from 2014. I've gotten very limited use out of the velcros - just too wide for me, not enough wrist support, and really funky padding (thin, soft, and uneven). On the other hand, the hybrids are some of the best gloves I've ever owned: snug fit, great wrist support, thicker, denser padding that does a great job of protecting the knuckles. Just ordered the hybrids in L to see if I can get away with using them as an all-around glove.
@offfduty3 The L size hybrids are probably my favorite gloves. They have the profile of a 16oz glove and fit me perfectly, with a lot of wrist support. Only draw back is they're heavy - 19.4 and 19.5 ounces each. Reviews on Sherdog also confirm my speculation that the velcros have an updated design with better fit & wrist support.
Hi, I love your video that you introduce boxing gloves so thoroughly👍🏾How would you choose between Venum Hammer and Cleto Reyes?
Reyes for sure! Thank you for your comment!
For some reason these are pacquiao’s favorites, just got mine in red
They are his favorite fight glove BUT he normally trains in Winnings as do most pros
@@combat_corp cleto reyes are known for having less padding around the knuckles making them a punchers glove at the risk of your hands. Winnings are suppose to have more padding in the glove making it safer for training
what do you think about hybdrid model medium size ? is it good as regular model
Would these gloves work well for muay thai or kickboxing? I'm looking to buy a single pair of gloves to do it all from sparring, heavy bag and pad work to clinching. Since I can only buy one pair, would they be a good all rounder for all types of use?
Great video champ. Any idea what is the different between hook and loop and the hybrid one. Thanks again and happy new year in advance
I really don't understand hybrid gloves! lol
I'm about to buy some Cleto gloves after watching this review.
Hi I've been using the fairtex 14 for a couple years and they fit and they feel great I've been eyeing these for a while do you think they would be a good pick and would the 14 still fit me okay? Thanks for reviewing boxing gloves you are appreciated 👍.
do they have excessive inner lining inside the compartment?
Great video! Only inaccuracy is the details on the history of them. He won his first fight; he stopped not due to lack of courage but because he realized that it was just not something he wanted to do on a daily basis.
Taken from their website bio: “In 1938, Cleto Reyes participated in an amateur fight, his performance was so outstanding that the public ended up throwing coins into the ring floor; however, the pounding was so hard that he was convinced not to fight again. He chose, instead, to mend the gloves he had used during the fight and this was the beginning of his career in glove manufacture.”
Thank you! I think I honestly ripped the quote of the courage thing from an HBO thing I watched but anyone who steps in the squared circle has courage! Thank you very much my friend!
How well have these held up? Do you clean them often? I just got a pair and I want to know how often i should clean them. Thanks
Got these in citrus green also 16 oz. def worth the money. Love these gloves
There not weighed accurately.
@@seversheen3044 they fixed that
11/10 for the information and the presentation and showing the true quality of the Cleto Reyes.
1/10 for your Spanish skills
Ahaha hecko in mexico
i can vouch for the fact they are not for heavy punchers haha broke my wrist whilst sparring, i just love how they feel though like the recoil you talked about is addictive
You must have bad technique then if you broke your wrist lol
@@KKajmak so you are saying technique is not a factor? Gtfo
would you say these gloves are heavy and could they slow you down in sparring?
thanks for the great videos! i recently discovered your channel so i like and subscribed!
One question if you have the time about cleto reyes - been looking at the training gloves with extra padding.
in how good are those? coming from a guy whom only had budget for 1 pair. will use it for bag work and sparring? would I hurt anyone using those?
thanks a bunch and keep up the good work growing the channel!
SO the extra padding gloves have been requested forever and the video is certainly overdue but in short, they are a little harder to get on and have less room in the hand compartment. To me it just feels the exact same as the good ol Cleto's I've used for years just with a little extra cushion on the knuckles for people that want the punchers feel without cracking bones. They're pretty good imo
@@combat_corp many thanks for taking the time to reply! stay safe :)
I am a beginner and actualy want to try them for heavybag workouts. would you recommand that for me? best reviews btw!
How's would you compare this with Fairtex BGV1 inside and outside? Thanks.
Great video mate 🔥 is the link in the description safe because I just ordered a pair but they take the money from my card but it don’t got any shipping information or anything like that please respond I would appreciate it so much.
very good information .. thank you ...
The piping on the thumb is tight af. I have the 12oz lace ups. What definitely helps is shoving a sock in the thumb, where that piping is too tight, and leaving it there for a day or two. Now the gloves feel amazing.
I normally use T shirts! But this is first I've heard of a Reyes being too tight in the thumb area!
@@combat_corp Yeah, the piping from that really durable stitching, seen from the palm side of the glove at the base of the thumb is too tight. It hurts... I actually never heard of putting in a t shirt for cletos, but I try to make sure that thumb space doesnt feel like a torture device ..
@@combat_corp Here is a link to my experience with the Cleto Reyes gloves (not too positive) but it does explain the whole thumb piping pain/ discomfort.
ruclips.net/video/fDkvNMURX4M/видео.html
Hey man is there A huge difference in padding between the 12 and 14 or is it mostly in hand size I’m looking for a smaller glove for pad work, hand circumference is about 8.5
Just for mitt work 12-14 would be fine! Each product should have a description of size but Reyes are pretty roomy!
Just got a pair in 12oz all black. I made sure to watch this video and it was very helpful. Initially I loved the smell and how they look, in terms of feel they are for sure stiff and I’m going to need to break them in. The thumb bothered when I put on the glove without wraps during my initial opening…after wrapping my hands I was fine.
Now with the padding on the fist, I’ve had knuckle problems years ago when I would compete but these didn’t bother me at all. I hear a lot after some use the padding in the front thins so in the even it bothers me, I’ll wrap my hands more on the wrist(currently
occasional wrist pain) and use my winning ng2 knuckle guards to fill them in.
My Favorite thing about these gloves would be the punch feedback and the thudding pop when u crack the bag. By far my favorite gloves I’ve ever owned .
Anybody who has them, what size would you recommend for someone with an 8.5 hand circumference from index to pinky?
are these good for the heavy bag?
I just got a pair of these. My logo peeled off right the first time I used it. It is peeling like crazy, is it normal?
Would 12oz be good for regular bagwork as o dont like big gloves for bag work
I just ordered some Cleo Reyes gloves from the link that is in your description but right now I don’t think it’s really secure I don’t know can u please help me!!!
You should try the Fairtex BGV9s. They perform very similar to these Cleto Reyes gloves. I know I have both pairs.
which one do you prefer as a bag glove? im currently deciding between the two. im 60 kgs and i wanna get a 16oz glove for bagwork.
Damn, Great video! You talked so much thing I don't know about Reyes. I wish I could see it before.
I have two pairs of Reyes. One lace one Extra padding. But they don't fit me well. In sparring, I used laced, I feel my hands are moving around and can't grab them well to punch; In the bag I used extra padding but I can feel it hurt my hands.
I think I should just go for Winning since I am actually a counter punch, I love to count and punch back instead of going lots of combination shoots.
Winnings are great gloves! I should do a review of the base lace up pair I have! They protect your knuckles a lot more than Reyes in my opinion and if you are a counter puncher I would for sure look into Winning/grants (grants are overpriced imo) but for sure Reyes wouldn't be a good glove for knuckle support. I am a punch happy person so I love them! Thank you so much for your comment my friend if there is anything else I can do for you please ask away!
I can't imagine using my Winnings on the bags. Probably the best sparring gloves I've ever used, but they just feel weird on the bag.
great review! i love these gloves too, much more over than win1 that i owned. still breaking in, but i can see its gonna get better. had the thumb issue intially too, prob cuz it was the 12oz glove, the fit is too tight cuz my handsize is kinda above average for my size..., (due to my weight and size i got 12oz), it starts getting better after some 20-30rounds.
i'll say i really like these gloves, it felt like its literally meant and made for boxing. saw the videos om the cleto reyes factory too, you can really see that real people put in their souls into making these, not some automated robots.
the quality of the leather too. the smell is abit strong at the start, but eventually starts to taper off slowly. some people might not like the smell. i couldnt stand it at the start too, but it got better as time pass.
i'll say people these days aint patient enough to appreciate good and quality things. they just want something that fits them on the spot, regardless of its durability and other concerns. but i guess its mainly cuz we all lived in a fast paced society/world. idk, i'll say people who appreciate these gloves, truly appreciate the art and sports of boxing itself.
just to add on lastly, for people who are afraid of getting hurt (except beginners; beginners please stay clear of these if you don't know how to punch right, you can REALLY REALLY get hurt very badly!!!), this is boxing we are talking about. I mean, i never hear of people never getting hurt in boxing, lol... but of course, for those who have injuries or pre-existing medical hand conditions, prob safer to just go for winnings.
Hi, could you tell me how much do you weigh? I am 155 pounds and I don’t know if I should get the 12 oz or the 14 oz for these gloves, I usually use 10 oz and sometimes 12 oz with other brand but for these idk if the 12 oz would fit me because on the website it’s saying I should get 14 oz for my weight but id prefer to stay with 12 oz. Please let me know what do you think about it. Thx.
@@lulumoll6986 i am very light. i just hover around 100~105lbs lol. but i kinda can generate decent hard punches, i guess cuz i do lots of sports and it carried over, and my body has more type 2 muscles, i realized.
i got the 12oz, do note the compartment might be abit too tight and snug at the start. my hand measures around 18cm or so, its kinda above average cuz my height is just 5'5.
it really depends on what u wanna do tbh.
many people always recommend 16oz for beginners, but i beg to differ. for 16oz it will give u more cushion, but might not be helpful in the longterm, and also, even if u get more cushion at ur knuckles, the force will shock all the way to your shoulders. it also depends how you hit etc, just make sure not to flare out ur elbows too much when u are going hard, becuz u can get really bad elbow/joints or ligaments issue, my left hand got a minor one, and some of them you can never recover from it.
for these gloves it only goes from 12 to 16oz. only the pro fight ones have 8 and 10oz.
some people recommend 12oz since it is closer to fight gloves. but idk, i got 12oz cuz i heard that reyes always come overweigh. and mine weighs aroudn 15 to 16oz for a 12oz. i dont really mind the extra weight tbh, and never really felt exhausted from it.
i will say if u wanna go fast and focus on techniques, go for 12/14. if u wanna go hard and want more protection, go for 16. but ideally u dont wanna go too hard if ur technique is off, becuz it just take 1 or 2 bad hard punches to injure urself.
@@lulumoll6986 i like these gloves cuz the snapping sound generates when u pull off correct snap punches sounds like shotgun lol. its super loud fr. and also you can kinda feel abit of your knuckles sinking in if you punch hard enough correctly. just make sure to tie your wrist properly so you dont snap it.
also, when this is brand new, try not to go 100%, cuz if is still snug, and u cant properly form a tight fist, then you might injure ur fingers when going too hard. the break in period will differ from person to person too. since cuz of hand size differences and also hitting styles.
but overall, im very impressed by the quality of these gloves. lots of people just hate it due to the long break in period etc, or that it doesnt provide them enough protection or they say. i think its just user problem, then the fault of the gloves tho. just my thoughts.
How much experience do you recommend someone have before purchasing these?
Great reviews, your videos are very inspiring!!! Which gloves do you recommend, the traditional Cleto Reyes training ones or the extra padding ones?
great vid!
Orange sweater with orange gloves wasn't the best choice for video's sake though, lol
Excellent hand speed.
I found that in japan they sell these quite cheap compared to get them from US to brazil and I have people going there next week. Since winning's are completely sold out everywhere in japan, I'm considering to ask them to bring me a pair of cleto reyes. Is either reyes or topboxer win1's. Do you like these for everything in the gymn?
hey! so im thinking about these, and the t3/t3 leather version, maybe hayabusa pro... whats the best option for both bag work and sparring, and not injuring myself or my sparring partners...? (i dont mind the heavy bag getting injured though) anyway thanks for the great video!
Hayabusa for preventing injuries for sure!
Just ordered these gloves, want to see how they stand up next to my Rival RS11V gloves - Update: absolutely love these gloves, still use my Rival’s but only for sparring and mitts
Do you use cleto reyes for sparring
So you not only train but fight with these as well?
I got a pair but scratched the logo a lot in 2 days. They are really good gloves though I do like ONX more.
How the hell did you managed to do that? Hahaha
I saw a lot of reviews on Amazon saying that these are ripping after just a couple months and some saying after just a couple sessions. Have Reyes lowered their quality recently or is the company selling them on Amazon a fake?
Probably fake
I liked your way of punching bag!!
Cleto lo mejor de lo mejor!
Wanting to get the bag glove (remember from my childhood they made hitting a bag feel so good!), but being in england i cant get these without adding on £/$ 35 for shipping which is annoying!
Great video, subbed
I just bought the extra padding ones from Geezers.
So I know fightstorepro is a huge combat sports shop in England and they sell Reyes! His name is Alex, I personally think he is the smartest guy on the planet as far as combat sports equipment goes as he should be, he sells it! Geezers I am pretty sure sells them in the UK as well but not sure. Wish I could help more on that friend! Cheers!
@@guitaroidman524 Yeah I had a look through - just meaning the Cleto Reyes (Elastic strap bag glove) is $70-80 on their website. Geezers is £106 which makes sense tbf
@@combat_corp I've bought a cheaper, but still leather pair from them guys - looking forward to it!
Has anybody brought and used these for Muay Thai? Any feedback on how that’s been would be great training thai in them.
Iv been using a pair of these for almost 5 years. I'm a pretty hard puncher and they are just now starting to wear out now. Absolutely love the way they feel and I'm nervous about getting a different pair of gloves
I know right?! They are super gloves! They don't die unless you throw them in a wood chipper! I would see what other punchers styles are out there. The one I have not tried yet is the TopBoxer alien series but those will be in this week! I will be blunt though...not many gloves like Reyes out there
@@combat_corp He's right, handmade mexican gloves using real cowhide leather? They're the best. All these other fashionable gloves with fancy logo's/graphics such as Venum are garbage, utter garbage
@@wicked-witch-of-the-west chill but roasting companies I want to see his you make a pair
@@thankedpit2brother483 I don't need to make a pair, i have a pair of reyes, thanks
@@wicked-witch-of-the-west bruh I'm saying try to make a pair and then see if it's better than the companies you say it is trash then you have the right to talk smack
I ordered mine off of Ringside, is that ok?
whtas up man does the hook and loop run big small or true to size? I wanna get 12 or 14 for light bag and pad wor
True to size in my opinion!
Once I get these, I’m definitely getting the 18 oz ones I love 18 oz it’s almost perfect and the padding of these gloves are latex so 18oz would be better
So ive had my cleto reyes gloves for about a month and a half and i been using them daily for the heavy bag and about two weeks ago i been doing 20-30 rounds of heavy bag training about 5 days a week and now on my right hand glove i've pierced trough the cushioning so theres a hole between the leather and where my knuckles rest so i was wondering how many gloves i should have in rotation since i basically already worn my cleto reyes down way to much and its only been about 1 month and a half since I purchased them and also what gloves should and get and sizes i weight 135lbs I was planing on getting some t3's 12oz and the high pressision cleto reyes and also i have an order of some custom alien top boxers pending but im not sure what gloves to get since im hitting the bag 30 rounds a day 3 sets of 10 rounds and all i have rn are my cleto reyes with the hole piercing trough the cushioning
That's not normal at all for Reyes. I'd immediately reach out to them for assistance on that one. T3s are a great option for you
I bought a pair because of your review, i love them but i dont think ill use them to spar until i break them in, because these are hard and can easily break a nose with a little tap. The quality quality is top notch. What more inexpensive option would you recommend for a sparring glove as I'm in with the hayabusa s4 for bag work with the wrist support.
Inexpensive great option would be superior boxing gloves in my opinion as well as ringside bullet/apex. You could also look into topboxer win1
Love this Brand
I love CR as much as anyone but the weight is a real problem and they are always overweight. My 16 oz were almost 20 oz. My gym requires 16 oz for sparring and at 20 oz, not only do they slow your punches, but the extra weight actually tires you quicker as well.
Oh for sure the extra weight will get your shoulders burning and yeah natural latex is a light fluffy yet very dense material. The extra padding may make it a little safer to spar with though sometimes but I for sure see where you are coming from. BUT when you use lighter weight gloves for mitt and bag work I think you will love how fast your hands fly after using those!
@@combat_corp Totally. I like to really dig into the heavy bag with them for a great workout. I heard that you can get CR to hand pick a pair that are on weight spec for a couple extra dollars. It's more the rule than the exception with true Mexican gloves due to the robust leather and heavy stiching. Like CR, Casanova, New Sporting, Grant, Necali and Gil are all heavier than spec. The quality and heritage can not be denied nor can the way you feel cracking the bag with them. My everyday bangers are the Sabas Pro Series. If you've never tried them you should as the quality to price ratio is about the best out there.
From all the reviews I seen it’s good to go once size down…so if u want 16 oz get the 14 oz
@@user-pp9bl5gr1n thanks I was thinking that too. I just ordered the 16oz, but won’t be using them for sparring. Anyone have feedback on the interior size of the 14oz? Will they pretty much fit your hand the same as 16oz? Thanks! Great review BTW
I’m 122 pounds should I buy 14oz gloves or 16oz
What fight do Muhammad Ali fight in the Reyes gloves
which model do you recomend , cleto reyes traning gloves or yokkao monster ?
It depends! If you are strictly doing muay thai, go for yokkao HOWEVER strictly doing boxing I would go Reyes. I think Reyes will last a lot longer but if I had to give you a complete honest answer would be the better glove in my opinion is Reyes. They can do everything and they'll last you until time runs out.
hecho is not pronounced like "ecko" but "etcho" just fyi.
Yes my friend! I have learned that in the time from the video from you and many other viewers and I appreciate the advice very much!
@@combat_corp Sorry I should have scrolled down my apologies! Keep up the good content!
Just bought me a pair 14 oz black with silver, it feels too tight with my hand wraps. My coach is saying with time it will break in same with other fighters. Did you have this problem? Thank you for your video, I love the smell of leather on these.
It will break in with time but I will say the newer models of Reyes gloves do have some tighter hand compartments for my liking. It took me a little bit to break in my newer Reyes pair but overall they broke in to fit my hand just fine
my cleto reyes piping part tears up when do dutch drills :(
Oh dear! I haven't had that issue yet!
so I bought a pair of cleto Reyes for my father and realized that the finger compartment ended before the tip of the glove did. I haven't seen a glove do that before but I don't know if it was a design flaw in these particular gloves. is that normal?
its normal
@@cyberbro793 well I learned something new then huh. thank you for letting me know
My man, you dint SETTLE for Cleto Reyes. You mean Business 😉
How long do you think these gloves will last with heavy use on the heavy bag?
I’d say about 2 years. 1st they were too stiff and took a few months to break in. They felt good for continuous heavy bag work for about 2 years but now they’re too compacted/stiff. I wouldn’t buy them again👎🏼 I had 16oz but the real weight was 19oz.
I want to get a Cleto Reyes Gloves but I don't know if I want the lace up or velcro. In your opinion which ones are better?
Velcro just because there isn't always somebody there to help you with the lace up, otherwise they are completely tha same
Need help sizing. I’m 5’4 138. Should I get a 16 or 14 oz. most people say you should train with 16, at least for sparring. But I worry it might be to big. Anyone have any advice ?
14! It will work fine for you
Thee Combat Corporation Thank you !
Do they feel overweighted at all? I’ve heard that they are usually heavier than advertised
Yes, most of Reyes equipment is even advertised on the website as "Due to the manufacturing process of these gloves, weight often may not be entirely accurate. I was lucky with mine and mine weigh 16.2 each. I do have a pair of the extra padding that are 17 ozs though lol. It won't change much, your body will adapt but if you want lighter gloves, I would just get a pair of bag gloves to do the job or if you are strictly hitting the bag, just get a 12 oz pair or something depending on your weight
What do you think of the extra padded version?
Review coming out today on those!
for heavy bag training, which one will you choose, cleto reyes training gloves or hayabusa Lx T3 ?. I have been training myself with heavy bag for a month, bcz in my hometown there is no professional room, coach or equipment for boxing. Thank you!
It all depends on your preference. If you prefer a nice recoil feel and feel like your hands are sinking into and bouncing off your target, I would say Reyes all the way. If you like feeling like your hand is being protected by a big cloud that you can smack the back with without any worries, for sure Hayabusa. Depends how fragile or strong your body might be!
Thee Combat Corporation thank you for your support, I chose myself a pair of Reyes 16 Oz for my training. I love something old and history too, so Reyes is my choice, hope I enjoy it!
Can’t you just wrap your hands for the extra protection?
@@DOUBLE0SEVUN Yes you can! However once you wrap your hands either A: too tightly or B: Too much material, it could cause poor circulation and it could cause things to burst or break more easily. It could also unnaturally stretch out the glove or leave little to no room inside the glove but with Reyes I doubt you'd find those issues!
Finally got a pair, but before I've even put them to use in training, some stitching on the thumb began to come out. Had to use a lighter to melt the threads to stop further fraying, which unfortunately lead to some small burn marks on the white part of the leather (blue colourway). I shouldn't think that part of the stitching has any effect on performance, but still disappointing to see in terms of quality. Hopefully they'll still last me a few years overall.
That is a bummer! I keep hearing issues with Reyes over the last year and I have even seen their quality begin to decrease and the gloves look different. Hopefully it isn't that big of a change or this passes because that is a big bummer for me
Are the gloves bad for you wrists?
How do i know which oz to get it in?
I always tell people it depends on your weight and somewhat your hand size. I say 100-120 pounds 10-12 oz
120-150 12-14 oz
150-180 14-16
180 and above should be using 16 and up
Hey man what are your favourite gloves for just pad/bag work?
I love the t3s by hayabusa but as of late the Phantom Boxing El Cucuys have been my go too mitt/pad glove. They just feel right to me. I also love the ringside apex bag gloves. As far as just generic bag work I will use the Rival RB5 bag mitts and the Meister Gel Armor Bag Mitts though
@@combat_corp el cucuy means boogeyman in Mexico 🤣
I love the older style. I can't stand the new design on the thumb part of the glove. I'm not sure the purpose for it but to me the older ones looked a lot better.
