Check out the boxing boot comparison--the Adidas Boxhog 2.0 vs my "old" Nike Machomai's. CAVEAT: This is a slightly unfair comparison due to the ankle height difference (I much prefer higher ankles--but here I should note that there are new Machomais with a higher ankle), but I have to give this one to the Boxhog on comfort, the "zoom" factor... and price.

Nike comes from the Greek word "Νίκη" which means victory. Machomai comes from the Greek word "μάχομαι" which means I'm fighting in a battle.The pronounce is mahome with the intonation on letter "a". Nice review.

!!! Thanks! And nope, I did not know that!

@FROST-kx4hi Год назад

Awesome review! Thank you because I was struggling to decide

@gogboxing5655 Год назад

Thanks. I should say that the Adidas have held up surprisingly well--better than I expected simply because they are not all leather like the Nikes.

@@gogboxing5655 i just bought them 😁 good to hear that then haha. I have session later tonight so can't wait to try them

@gogboxing5655 Год назад

@@FROST-kx4hi I really prefer them over the Nikes in the end. They feel like old-school ones I had when I was a kid. I think you'll like them anyway.

@gogboxing5655 Год назад

@@FROST-kx4hi Let me know what you think. They are getting very popular--simplicity at its finest, I think. I only know one guy who didn't like them, but he has flat feet and apparently narrow feet (which seems odd). Anyway, he needed more stability and maybe the ones he got were too big for him anyway. But if you do have flat feet, I'd still go for Nike. My feet are beat up after years of training so I use them when my arches are bothering me.

@FROST-kx4hi Год назад

@@gogboxing5655 So I had my first boxing session with them two days ago and they felt really good. I had more grip and speed and just felt like you described it in the video. Today I did a gym session in them and once again they felt really good. Perhaps not that good to do squats in them but for movement and everything else I like them for now. Im doing bag work on wednesday so thats when I'll actually see full potential of them :)

Great review, been trying to get either pair in Australia but no one here seems to stock size 14s 😢

@gogboxing5655 Год назад

They seem to appear and then disappear--I'd keep a lookout for them, however, as I'm still using the Adidas and greatly prefer them these days.

@aurorapena5720 2 месяца назад

Would you recommend boxhog 2, 3, or 4?

@gogboxing5655 2 месяца назад

I think any of them are fine. Any of them may vary a bit so I'd do what my wife does and order a couple of sizes of the one you prefer and send back the ones you don't like.

@seleemwael18 Год назад

how is the box hog 2 hanging rn? after a year of use, is the durability that good? I live in egypt so getting a 70-100$ shoes every 1-2 years is not easy for me, so along all the pros, i really want something that would live with me for years so i don't need to replace it again

@gogboxing5655 Год назад

Unbelievably great. Seriously. I make sure not to use them on concrete--only on a good floor/boxing floor (or sometimes at home) so they tread doesn't wear, but I do three to five workouts a week, plenty of jump rope, etc. There was a gap (a few gaps) when I was sick, but I have to recommend these 100 percent. They also feel like the boxing boots I had in the 80s. Seriously great. I've noticed a lot of people wearing them recently.

Good review! Keep the vids coming. +1 for the algo

@gogboxing5655 2 года назад

Thanks! The algo is irritating, as it used to be normal, but then it changed as I'm posting from Europe... You can see the difference in old vid stats (and not just because they have been up a while). Oh well. Anyway, just put up something new, complete with a big bump on my forehead from getting tagged by a heavyweight while sparring.

@wingoreviewsboxingandmma3667 2 года назад

Which pair would support a high arch better? I have a high arch and can't do a flat sole

@gogboxing5655 2 года назад

Nikes--no comparison. Definitely will support your feet better.

!!! You are right. You can tell I'm a child of the '80s. I think Dukes of Hazzard mode just switched on in my head and I could not turn it off. The hilarious thing is that nobody but you noticed--and after all this time.
