Great video brother! It's funny you mentioned about dudes stealing gloves. I had my Cleto Reyes gloves stolen from Johnny Flores's (RIP) gym in Lincoln Heights back in the mid 1980's. Beware the thieves and haters. They're everywhere!
I recently got to talk with the owner of ring to cage and I asked him about the bubbling as I have a pair of c17s myself. He said that it’s due to the leather not degradation of the padding. He understands it can look quite scary as in most other pairs of gloves it means the padding is starting to breakdown. But in the c17s it’s apparently just due to some air getting trapped in the leather. Can confirm my padding is still like new even though there’s bubbles.
I went to a boxing club one time and it said on a sign we're not responsible for stolen gloves it happens a lot here and if you catch the guy doing it you have to settle it with him yourself in the ring or in the parking lot none of our business I should have put quotation marks but needless to say I didn't go there anymore cuz I caught a guy stealing my gloves and he said they were his gloves so I had to beat his ass in front of everybody and take my gloves so buyer beware when you get awesome gloves other people want them for free
idk if its just me but the gold metallics are stiffer than the other plain colored gloves (white, blue, black). the other colors basically felt more broken in
@@ThatBoxingGuy maybe it was just the one i got but ive tried the black ones, white ones and currently have the gold ones. the gold ones were the only ones that felt different
Hey actually I had a question for your boxing I see you do the step-off hook. I was hoping to hear your take on this technique and situations it is suitable for, versus the Lstep + left cross. They seem to result in the same angle on your opponent, but I'm lacking clarity on when to use each
I do both, just depends on the situation. I like the step off hook when I’m applying pressure, or if I have someone on the ropes. I do the L-step hook if they’re trying to pressure me to keep some distance so that I don’t smother my punches. Hope this helps👊🏽
Pretty well, but I actually don’t use them as often. There are some parts where the gold has faded, so I can imagine it being like that on the entire glove if I did use it more
@@ThatBoxingGuy love it. followed on IG as well. Your videos on the Reyes sparbar and gloves were on point. Grabbed both and they are tremendous. The visibility with the headgear is outstanding. Thanks!
@@ThatBoxingGuy just in the transitions, it would increase to the point that I would turn down the volume down to 50% but then your voice was too low so I would raise it but then the transition music would blast. Normally your reviews are perfect in audio.
Amazing video brother! The gold color is sharp.
Real talk, yeah. Certain cities, I wear $20 Ringside shoes and Everlast gloves to visit spar in their gyms.

@@ThatBoxingGuy Oh and I payed $80 bucks for a pair back then.
@@ThatBoxingGuy The quality control changed once the boss passed away. The man was a work hound and was always in the shop overseeing his operation.

Love to hear this. The value for money and quality of the C17s is unmatched

No way this shit real bro 😂
Dope, I watched this with my baby and it got her pumped

Yeah, great gloves. Excellent value, too

Hulk smash! The Hawaian Punch!(if you get my gist). Nice to see you doing reviews again! Mabuhay po!
This is the hilarious 2010s style content our hearts desire
Haha, thanks😆
The gold looks badass!

@@ThatBoxingGuy thank you!
Hi bro. What glove do you recommend for buying based on your experience? Infinitude or ring to cage c17? Thank you so much.
I just bought c17 if , you can go to my channel and look up my video on the gloves. I’m not so impressed but maybe they are that good as many claims.
Would these fit really small hands?
Might have to get a smaller size, like 14oz. 16s are a bit wide
@@ThatBoxingGuy Then the 12 oz would be snug for smalls hand right?
@@tobirama-4253 I’m not 100% sure, but it could be
i just got a pair in and the inside of my left glove keep scratching up the top of my fingers 🤧
I wish they had these in 18 oz
Yeah, too bad they only had 18s in black. But tbh, the 16s are really padded well, should be fine for heavier boxers
wondering if you know what would be the difference in getting the venum elite boots or the giant low boots
@@ThatBoxingGuy so preference really, thanks 😁👍🏻
Which is more comfortable and protective these or the Rs1 rivals
hey i just got these gloves friday how long did they take to ship?
Best unboxing ever lol
HE'S BACK LETS GOOOOO.Great vid, i have these and rhey are good
Mine have held up good after everyday use for 9 months but have bubbles and some loose stitching
The gold, i also could not help myself
Would the glove be the same on Amazon I’m buying a pair in 18 oz black or it’s better buying from the ring to cage website
@@ThatBoxingGuy I do but it’s better buying on the ring to cage website instead of Amazon
@@ThatBoxingGuy thank you for helping me out bro
I’m thinking of getting a Red version of these gloves and I have a question would you recommend them for sparring?
Definitely! These are great for sparring
Great video bro 🥊
How is the gold holding up in 2023?
Pretty well, but I actually don’t use them as often. There are some parts where the gold has faded, so I can imagine it being like that on the entire glove if I did use it more
Have you weighted them yet?
@@ThatBoxingGuy Thank you so much, that sounds good!
Hey NEW CONTENT! Been a second :)

Thanks!
Ayee new vid 🔥🔥
If I ever get rich in buying you a pair of Winning lbs
Aren't you already rich?? 😜
I wish the stupid music was as low as his voice so my eardrums wouldn’t be bleeding right now.

@@ThatBoxingGuy love your reviews btw, hope you get your hands on the new Cleto Reyes High Precision gloves
Im not buying a tee shirt unless you promise to get a pair of Winning of Fly lol
@@ThatBoxingGuy likewise bro lol
