Every time I see ur reviews about to buy new gloves again.. I already have 15pairs.. the inspiration is real and my wife gettin mad at me for spending is real to..( lately the slogan Has been “stop buying boxing stuff” I seen ur room
I have these and the quality is not behind Grant, Reyes or other great mexican gloves. The Alien can stand together with the brands. The performance of these are stunning. I have a couple of custom made gloves of TopBoxer but the Alien has become my favourite for bag and pad work. Just amazing, really. If the gloves say HECHO EN MEXICO, people will surely believe these are made in Mexico. Top quality. Anyway, I have been a big fan of you here in Korea and always thank you for detailed information on a variety of gloves from brands. I hope to see you list top 10 gloves soon if you have any plan :)
csquaredboxing it would be great to see a side by side review of the Alien vs. the Win1 from top boxer. I currently have the Win1 and am considering picking up a pair of the Aliens but would like more info.
I was literally just about to purchase these gloves in 16oz, but I just saw a video of a guy complaining that the wrist support is terrible. Could you please shed some light on this?
I've been waiting on this review since i saw the pics on your insta. These look much better than the original "grant inspired" ronins. I really like these and his "old school style" gloves with fibrous padding.
Thanks man! Yeah Muhammad has revised/ improved these much from the iterations I had years ago. Better overall padding and structure of the glove that I really enjoy.
I already own a pair of old school gloves by topboxer and I just pulled the trigger on a custom pair of 👽s with extra padding, a longer cuff and a deeper finger compartment (thanks to you). I can't wait to get them.!
@@johnnymc8337 initially yes. But top boxer has excellent customer service and solved it for me. Suggest you write in with your dimensions and see if custom made is required.
I'd stay away from New Sporting. Very bad experience with them as well as many others. Top boxer is great quality and definitely better than new sporting.
Hey Carlo, great review. What glove sizes do you recommend for the Alien and for the Win1 if they're going to be used for bag and pad work? They would be getting a lot of use on the heavy bag so I would want enough protection to prevent discomfort/injury from this but to still get nice feedback too. I'm 170 lbs, 5'7" tall and have smaller hands. Thanks
Awesome review! I have the win1 gloves, and theyre about the softest gloves I have. Theyre great, but im also looking for a slightly firmer glove for bag work to get a little more feedback and feel. How does the padding on these compare to the win1? Is there a big difference?
I bought them 14oz and they're a bit too big but other than that I love them, they feel great, offer great protection, and really give me anything I'd want from bag gloves
Great review! I have a question though. I have the Win1 in 16 oz and I am a little disappointed about the fact that the 16 oz version uses a different combination of foam/filling in the knuckle area than the lower weight versions. This results in way less feedback with more of a thud instead of a pop when you hit mitts, or the heavy bag. Do you happen to know if thats also the case with these Alien gloves in 16 oz? I know the website advertises the idea that you get a lot of feedback when hitting the bag, but I am just not yet convinced because of my previous experience. I've emailed Muhammad Irfan but have yet to receive an answer.
@@csquaredboxing Looking forward to it. I'm actually pretty surprised that you haven't done this yet. They have been the most popular "Winning clone" for several years now.
Daniel Henry I think TopBoxer’s Win1 gloves are better than R2C in every way in comparison to Winning. And his stock model Win1s are only ten bucks more than r2c. A comparison of Win1 vs. r2c C17s would be a good video.
@@csquaredboxing And another question: is it possible to compare Top Boxer Alien and Sabas Proseris in terms of the ability to strike hard and protect the fist as well as the quality of workmanship? Which of them would you personally choose and why? Thank you very much!
Hi Carlo i have a question please, which gloves feel the lightest and the more balanced between the win1, the Alien or the custom infinitude? By the way, infinitude released a New velcro glove, the raider pro boxing gloves.
Decided to go with these instead of the Russian boxer because these are such a good price, plus I love my Win 1's. Hopefully won't need to buy gloves for awhile having 2 top quality gloves.
Great review again. How would you rate these for use on harder surfaces like maize bags? How would compare the custom topboxer gloves (which come in at £127) vs say the fly Superloop x (at £180), wondering if the difference in quality is big enough to justify that bit extra in price?
These work well on the maize/ teardrop style bag, a little more on the feedback side than the protective side compared to say their Win1 versions. Compared to Fly Superloop X I'd say theyre neck and neck in terms of quality TBH. Top Boxer leather is nice, stitching is flawless, and the padding is balanced.
Hello Carlo love the vids! Would you recommend 14 or 16 oz for a 185lbs dude with average hands? Mostly for partner drills, bag work and maybe some light sparring
Hello. I needed your help on this. So I’m going to purchase some top boxer custom gloves and I want a glove with good feedback basically a puncher style glove so I can get good feedback and feel the punches when I hit the heavy bag but I also want to use the glove for sparring but I don’t want to hurt my sparring partners so what type of foam/padding do you recommend me to get for that? Thanks
I’d say there more comparable to the Bella than the pro series. More compact and the padding is more on the feedback side rather than being a super protective glove. Well balanced but with good pop and snug fitting so if you have big hands it may be a tight fit
Off topic question for you man. How often do you think is the right amount to train if you’re working toward an amateur fight?....everyday? Should you incorporate rest days? What do you think?
5-6 days a week, at least rest 1-2 days for recovery. Roadwork, 3-4 miles in the morning and then conditioning/ sparring in the afternoon. Sprints as well- intervals of about 40-50 yards max speed with 30 seconds rest about 10 times
I'm 5'11, 200lbs. Gloves for 80% heavy bag, 20% sparring. I like a glove with good feedback but don't want hurt sparring partners. Should I go with these or the win1? 14oz or 16oz?
@@csquaredboxing really? I thought you were gonna say the alien 14oz for more compact glove and more feedback and POP on heavy bag, which is mostly what I'll be using them for. I don't have hand or wrist problems so not really worried about protection. What are the advantages of the win1 over the alien?
@@csquaredboxing by the way, I've had a pair of the sabas pro series for about 3- 4 years and they fit and perform very well, but they're getting old and I'd like to try something new, preferably something that has just as much or more pop/feedback on heavy bag but also good for sparring
I have a pair of 16 oz Win1 and I bought it solely for the promise that it's soft with a lot of padding. So, it's supposed to go easier on your sparring buddies, if it's what you are after.
Hello Carlo, I work mainly on the bag and i'd like to hear what your idea is; win1 or alien gloves? Compactness is an issue but protecting knuckles isn't much of a problem. Thanks
Hey man, I love your reviews. I know this is asking a lot, but if you were me which Topboxer glove would you recommend and at what oz. I’m looking for something that will crack the aqua bag. 6’3” 215lbs 28 yrs
I know you say the finger compartment was a little snug on these, did the 10 oz feel too small? I am on the fence between a 10, 12 or 14 for the alien series glove. I have a medium size hand as well. 9” circumference maybe?
Out of these and the prize ring pro training which offers a better balance between good feed back but good wrist support & knuckle protection on pads and the heavy bag?
i got the 16 oz alien series, they are great, except i have an issue with the thumb piping, it has to much pressure on my right hand thumb, not sure if my right hand is slightly bigger or the right hand glove was stitched wrongly. But i am interested to hear more how do you fix that or widen the glove/piping?
Hi, have you continued using these gloves at all since this video? And if so have you noticed if the shallow finger compartment has stretched out at all? I have a custom pair of win1 for me and my girlfriend that I’ve used for the last year for bag work and sparring and when I got them the finger compartment felt shallow too but since using them so often they have stretched and feel better, I’m thinking of getting their aliens but want to make sure they’ll fit my hands right. Thank you.
Yes of course, Mexican style gloves tend to be "punchers" gloves where they typically use latex foam with a combination of horse hair, this lends to be a more "damaging" glove on your opponent but a lot of the time people dont enjoy using them for sparring. Mexican style gloves also have a wider hand compartment profile with typically a flat punching surface (not as round) and have an old school feel. Japanese "style" is basically Winning style/ inspired gloves. Theres an emphasis on hand comfort and the foam padding is more protective and forgiving. These gloves are usually more popular as the comfort lends to better training as well as sparring
@@csquaredboxing Thanks for that mate you're an absolute legend. I was wondering because with the win1 it seems the fingers are more curved over by eye at least. I'm having a lot of trouble picking between Infinitude, Win1 and Alien. Being able to open the hand is very important to me. I had the BGV14 (similar to BGV9) previously and want to try something a little more protective and with a smaller hand compartment like a grant style glove this time around. I always think how great it would be to have an actual store so I could try them all. Definitely an issue with today's online marketplace.
Hey Carlo, out of TopBoxer Alien or Superior Boxing grant inspired which would you choose? I have thumb issues and you rated them both highly, in a head to head what would you pick? Same for Win1 and superious boxing winning style?
Hi! Which gloves do you recommend between top boxer alien , top boxer win1 and fairtex boxing gloves bgv9? I need a pair of gloves for overall use that can last a year/year and a half.
Can i find out from your opinion, how did these compare to the Win1 version? I just ordered one Win1 from Topboxer and I see that these are a bit more compact. How about the protection and pop?
Hey. I usually wear 14oz but saw some comments about 14oz running too big and not compact. Can I get get away with the 12oz without being too tight and feeling compact? 185 lb male
Very different, if anything they’re closer to grants. Compared to Reyes, the leather is different, more smoother and softer. The padding is more protective, and the hand compartment is more compact.
I was waiting for a review of this Alien gloves if they are comparable with some Mexican made gloves. I would like to see reviews of Hernandez Champs and Boxeo gloves soon.
I got these in 14 oz and I cannot recommend these at all. You would literally be better off getting almost anything else in the price range. I'll get to the biggest problem first; ZERO WRIST SUPPORT. You got a 10oz so you may not have noticed... but you can see even in yours the wrist padding on the palm side. There's only these odd, extremely firm inserts that kinda feel like cardboard. I almost thought I got a pair of unfinished gloves for a bit until I checked around and yep... that's the norm. These inserts are really weird... hard as rocks but perfectly flat. No padding about them. Even a giant man with large wrists would wiggle around with these things and that's after they've been tied tight as possible with lace and loops wrapped around just to attempt to make them somewhat functional... and they still aren't. I had a very large finger pocket, too long and I have long fingers. I didn't get a straight thumb like yours either. It's obscenely long, bowing out at the thumb attachment. The lining is bunched up just before the knuckle area. There's just way too much material. I know Grant gloves are known for being huge, but these things make Grants look tiny! There's nothing compact about these things (aside from the short length). My hands are pretty large and even fully wrapped they wiggle around far too much. I know he's a one man shop and specialises in custom gloves but from the mistakes he's made with these gloves I've got and failure to make a model at a different size proportionally has completely turned me off from ever doing any business with him again. I've tried to use these gloves for three weeks at everything from the mitts to sparring. (I only used them to spar because all of the weight is in the knuckles so they're very soft on you and your partner (too padded as you get almost zero feedback from these) and each time at each activity I had to cut it short because the wrist support is that bad.) I've been boxing a long time so luckily I didn't hurt myself but knowing if I made a mistake I'd be hurting and the shear awkwardness of these was just too much. Maybe I got a bad batch who knows?
@@bmcormick13 hey, I forgot to say I put together a little shit video about my TB Alien gloves. It's really bad as I never film anything and I didn't write out what I wanted to say. I even had a word slip up when I said "they're a great value for the money" when I meant to say COULD have been a great value for money. Anyways you get to see what the gloves look like and I tried to demonstrate the main issues I had with them. Let me know if you want me to make another video to expand on something.
Hey man. In the case of aliens general size of the glove depends a lot on the weight. This is what Muhammad from TB himself told me about alien's sizing: in 10-12 oz aliens are compact (compared to win1s) but in 14oz and higher aliens are bigger than win1s. In the pictures 14oz aliens seems to be really big compared to 12oz or 10oz from Carlo's review. I've seen your video as well. Man your 14oz aliens look HUGE! Bigger than Casanova/Necalli which aren't exactly on the compact side. That's crazy. Topboxer's website clearly states that aliens are based on mexican style FIGHT gloves. Maybe getting such gloves in 14oz is just nonsense (also nobody besides Topboxer makes fight gloves bigger than 10oz, so it's something he should rethink). In the end I guess it should be this way: if you want aliens and want to keep them compact choose 10 or 12 oz. If you want 14-16 oz training gloves go with win1s.
@@muchawwa did he intend for this to be a fight glove? If so, I feel a bit bad for giving the series a hard time but at the same time I'm only talking about the larger Aliens as I had some and people wanted to get some. On the page to get the Aliens he describes them as basically an all purpose glove that can be used in competition as well. That would make sense if he was talking about anything under a 12oz as a lot of competing lads will do work in competing gloves. But given the weight goes so much higher than this, I agree it's confusing and probably shouldn't be offered... or just design a Grant trainer inspired glove... which a lot of his custom work for pros look like. They look quite nice imo those gloves he done for Chisora.
@@nb0616 I know nothing about his intentions, but you're right about his page describing Aliens as an all purpose glove. It might be confusing. He told me about the sizing when we had a conversation about some custom order. If it wasn't for that I'd have ordered some stock aliens in 14oz and man I'd be pissed. Maybe you should reach out to Muhammad and get your issue solved. He is very helpful and there's clearly something wrong with your gloves. Also most of the guys from Sherdog forum that are using Aliens, are using 10 or 12 oz mainly for bag or pad work. Aliens seem to be great for that. I think that Chisora's gloves (and other pros mostly) are in Win1 style. Anyway Topboxer makes great stuff but if there is some kind of a problem with scaling Aliens 14oz and up he should work it out for his own sake.

I'd stay away from New Sporting. Very bad experience with them as well as many others. Top boxer is great quality and definitely better than new sporting.
Top Boxer for sure, like Rabel said, new sporting has unfortunately fell off both in terms of quality and customer service.
Stay away from NS. They lie to the customer, make mistakes and after all you get low quality gear. Another option is Hernandez Champs.

Japanese "style" is basically Winning style/ inspired gloves. Theres an emphasis on hand comfort and the foam padding is more protective and forgiving. These gloves are usually more popular as the comfort lends to better training as well as sparring
Thank you very much for the respond and answer!!!!
No prob!
Wondering if you can comment how easy it is to open your hand to catch shots? Specifically looking to compare these to the Infinitude Harrier Pros
Fairly easy, has a little breaking in, but once they are you can open your palm up
@@csquaredboxing Thanks for that mate you're an absolute legend. I was wondering because with the win1 it seems the fingers are more curved over by eye at least.
I'm having a lot of trouble picking between Infinitude, Win1 and Alien. Being able to open the hand is very important to me. I had the BGV14 (similar to BGV9) previously and want to try something a little more protective and with a smaller hand compartment like a grant style glove this time around.
I always think how great it would be to have an actual store so I could try them all. Definitely an issue with today's online marketplace.
Which one is the best for small hands and overall performance glove? Alien, prize ring pro training, sabas pro series, infinitude? 🥊🔥
Alien
Would you recommend the 10oz over the 12oz for bag/pad work?
12 ounce
Alien or Win1, which one has better shock absorption.
Win 1
Why didn't my friend tell you that your gloves are custom made?
What size gloves do you recommend for sparring if I’m 130lbs ?
14
These or rb11 for bag? Is there much difference between the 2?
Hey Carlo, out of TopBoxer Alien or Superior Boxing grant inspired which would you choose? I have thumb issues and you rated them both highly, in a head to head what would you pick? Same for Win1 and superious boxing winning style?
Alien
@@csquaredboxing sweet as, thanks Carlo.
Has anyone else had trouble getting topboxer stuff on time.
They said 8 to 10 weeks and I'm about two days away from The 10-week Mark so
Haven’t ordered in a long time
these look nice
They definitely are!
Do these have any horsehair in them? Or is the padding all foam?
No just foam
Do you prefer these to the win 1 glives
Yes I do
Hi! Which gloves do you recommend between top boxer alien , top boxer win1 and fairtex boxing gloves bgv9? I need a pair of gloves for overall use that can last a year/year and a half.
Win 1
@@csquaredboxing thank you!
Holy crap you have lightning fast hands my man , Amit Kahn who???
Lol
Which are more protective/well made these or Russian boxer. And are the Russian boxers worth the extra 80$ over these?
It’s pretty close, id say Russian boxer
Would you prefer Top boxer Alien or Fairtex BGV9 for general training ?
Alien
which should i get 14 or 16 oz? need for overall use
16
Can i find out from your opinion, how did these compare to the Win1 version? I just ordered one Win1 from Topboxer and I see that these are a bit more compact. How about the protection and pop?
Less protective than win 1
Hey. I usually wear 14oz but saw some comments about 14oz running too big and not compact. Can I get get away with the 12oz without being too tight and feeling compact? 185 lb male
Itll be too tight
@@csquaredboxing thx. Ordered the 14’s . What you think about the Tm boxeo speed mitts? You rated their gloves #1 on the list for last year.
They are 10oz versions and your hand is not smaal. You usually review 16oz versions, so these felt ok or a bit small on the finger compartment?
They felt ok
Would you recommend these or the win1 for an all around glove for almost everything?
Win 1
For just hitting the heavy bag, which do you prefer between TB Alien, Win 1, Bgv9 or Sabas pro series?
Alien
How do these compare to Reyes gloves?
Very different, if anything they’re closer to grants. Compared to Reyes, the leather is different, more smoother and softer. The padding is more protective, and the hand compartment is more compact.
csquaredboxing thanks
These or the No Boxing No Life gloves? Love your videos!
if the fight gloves then nbnl, training gloves, aliens
Which gloves is closer to Reyes ...win 1 ..Alien or neither ?
Neither
@@csquaredboxing where would you rank the Alien ...Win 1 and the Reyes ?
these topboxer aliens vs cleto reyes? which on would you rather use for bag-work? im wondering whether i should just a bit more to afford the reyes.
aliens
@@csquaredboxing bgv9s vs aliens vs win1s for bag?
@@hahgotem9466 aliens
Is the a nice allrounder?
Im looking for a glove with nice pop/feedback on the bag and flexible enough in the wrist for comfortable parry's and blocks
It’s a good all around er
@@csquaredboxing does a 16 oz have some pop on the bag as they say?
To me it looks like they have short wrist cuffs and would have bad support. Not much to wrap the laces around... No?
Decent wrist support
These at 16oz or win1 14oz for all around training?
Depends, do you prefer more protection? If so go for win1. Want a little more pop and feedback? Go for alien.
csquaredboxing thanks
I was waiting for a review of this Alien gloves if they are comparable with some Mexican made gloves. I would like to see reviews of Hernandez Champs and Boxeo gloves soon.
Hernandez review coming soon
Do you prefer Aliens or Win1’s and why?
Aliens, more softer padding and pop
@@csquaredboxing thanks, I have some Win1’s coming in and when I buy a pair of Aliens I’ll get them customized!
Would you recommend these in 16oz for sparring? How's the padding?
Yeah you could use them for sparring, theyre softer than the win 1s
@@csquaredboxing thanks. That's good to know!
Bueno Trabajo 🥊
Gracias!
These or Cletos for an all around training glove ?
These
How much do these cost in gbp??
do you think I can use these for sparring? (16oz )
Yes
@@csquaredboxing thank you !
Win1’s or the superior?
Win 1
csquaredboxing are they more winning like
How long did you use these before the review
2 weeks
Are these more pillow
Sure
Почему мой друг не сказал вам, что ваши перчатки сделаны на заказ?
Alien vs Win1?
Both great, just depends on what you prefer, more protection or feedback
I got these in 14 oz and I cannot recommend these at all. You would literally be better off getting almost anything else in the price range. I'll get to the biggest problem first; ZERO WRIST SUPPORT. You got a 10oz so you may not have noticed... but you can see even in yours the wrist padding on the palm side. There's only these odd, extremely firm inserts that kinda feel like cardboard. I almost thought I got a pair of unfinished gloves for a bit until I checked around and yep... that's the norm. These inserts are really weird... hard as rocks but perfectly flat. No padding about them. Even a giant man with large wrists would wiggle around with these things and that's after they've been tied tight as possible with lace and loops wrapped around just to attempt to make them somewhat functional... and they still aren't.
I had a very large finger pocket, too long and I have long fingers. I didn't get a straight thumb like yours either. It's obscenely long, bowing out at the thumb attachment.
The lining is bunched up just before the knuckle area. There's just way too much material.
I know Grant gloves are known for being huge, but these things make Grants look tiny! There's nothing compact about these things (aside from the short length). My hands are pretty large and even fully wrapped they wiggle around far too much.
I know he's a one man shop and specialises in custom gloves but from the mistakes he's made with these gloves I've got and failure to make a model at a different size proportionally has completely turned me off from ever doing any business with him again.
I've tried to use these gloves for three weeks at everything from the mitts to sparring. (I only used them to spar because all of the weight is in the knuckles so they're very soft on you and your partner (too padded as you get almost zero feedback from these) and each time at each activity I had to cut it short because the wrist support is that bad.) I've been boxing a long time so luckily I didn't hurt myself but knowing if I made a mistake I'd be hurting and the shear awkwardness of these was just too much.
Maybe I got a bad batch who knows?
@@bmcormick13 I've never made a video but I'll give it a crack.
@@bmcormick13 hey, I forgot to say I put together a little shit video about my TB Alien gloves. It's really bad as I never film anything and I didn't write out what I wanted to say. I even had a word slip up when I said "they're a great value for the money" when I meant to say COULD have been a great value for money.
Anyways you get to see what the gloves look like and I tried to demonstrate the main issues I had with them.
Let me know if you want me to make another video to expand on something.
Hey man. In the case of aliens general size of the glove depends a lot on the weight. This is what Muhammad from TB himself told me about alien's sizing: in 10-12 oz aliens are compact (compared to win1s) but in 14oz and higher aliens are bigger than win1s. In the pictures 14oz aliens seems to be really big compared to 12oz or 10oz from Carlo's review. I've seen your video as well. Man your 14oz aliens look HUGE! Bigger than Casanova/Necalli which aren't exactly on the compact side. That's crazy. Topboxer's website clearly states that aliens are based on mexican style FIGHT gloves. Maybe getting such gloves in 14oz is just nonsense (also nobody besides Topboxer makes fight gloves bigger than 10oz, so it's something he should rethink). In the end I guess it should be this way: if you want aliens and want to keep them compact choose 10 or 12 oz. If you want 14-16 oz training gloves go with win1s.
@@muchawwa did he intend for this to be a fight glove? If so, I feel a bit bad for giving the series a hard time but at the same time I'm only talking about the larger Aliens as I had some and people wanted to get some. On the page to get the Aliens he describes them as basically an all purpose glove that can be used in competition as well. That would make sense if he was talking about anything under a 12oz as a lot of competing lads will do work in competing gloves. But given the weight goes so much higher than this, I agree it's confusing and probably shouldn't be offered... or just design a Grant trainer inspired glove... which a lot of his custom work for pros look like. They look quite nice imo those gloves he done for Chisora.
@@nb0616 I know nothing about his intentions, but you're right about his page describing Aliens as an all purpose glove. It might be confusing. He told me about the sizing when we had a conversation about some custom order. If it wasn't for that I'd have ordered some stock aliens in 14oz and man I'd be pissed. Maybe you should reach out to Muhammad and get your issue solved. He is very helpful and there's clearly something wrong with your gloves. Also most of the guys from Sherdog forum that are using Aliens, are using 10 or 12 oz mainly for bag or pad work. Aliens seem to be great for that. I think that Chisora's gloves (and other pros mostly) are in Win1 style. Anyway Topboxer makes great stuff but if there is some kind of a problem with scaling Aliens 14oz and up he should work it out for his own sake.
Ehi bro im 5.4 and weight 146lbs which size of this gloves would you reccomend me? I dont like it too bulky
