Cleto Reyes Extra Padding Training Gloves Review 

Thank you so much for your kind words! Almost to 2k subscribers and I am so happy you are one of them!

We are coming 🥊🥊

That is a really good idea!!! I can look into the history for that for sure! That has my brain thinking big time

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I hope your health is improving and I wish you nothing but good health in the future!

Humbled of your comment my friend! I think everyone else that does this has their own quirks and ways of explaining things! I love all comers...I am the toughest of the bunch though I'm POSITIVE I'd win in a boxing match against all of them lmao I'm just playing of course!

Hey Nott Me, have you had the regular training gloves before the extra padding? How did they compare for you? Would you recommend these as an all around glove for hand protection and long-lasting performance?

so can i expect them to last a long time if i use them everyday?

How about tbe wrist support?

They are pretty great!

Yea dude same, just started watching

Thank you so much!

I also use the kanpeki elites, the prior model with the two bars going up the back of the hand. I also punch very hard and those take it easy on my wrist but even my shoulders and etc. I do see they still sell kanpeki elites but they are newer version which I haven’t used . My gloves are still doing well but Iv thought about getting a second pair just to have it. The one I have though is the Velcro and lace version . They sent me that one as a replacement by mistake and it felt better overall for me . I figure maybe it’s best to get the newer version before they come out with some other design change for the sake of having a new version to sell

I for sure can try and get a pair and do a review my friend! I have heard and seen nothing but good things on them!

@@combat_corp thanks homie.. You the man Al🥊

@@oogaboogasalsa6557 those gloves just came in today by the way my friend

@@combat_corp yoooooo U DA MAN AL 🥊🥊 keep the great work up dude. I check my notifications every day n ur insta to see if there’s a vid up, that should say something. Later dude 🥊

Yeah I agree. I wish the hand compartment and honestly the overall glove was bigger than it was but it still isn't terrible yknow?

Nice! How do you feel about em?

Never had a pair of Reyes before, but I love them so far!

@@matthewscott7357 hows the sizing mate?

@@edwardreid1597 sorry for the late response, definitely go a size up👍

@@matthewscott7357 which you prefer? The extra padding or just the regular training gloves? I'm going to save up money for these gloves, been wanting cleto reyes for a long time

I have heard the same and I will admit the newer pair I have are still great BUT do feel...different. I am unsure how to explain but they are still awesome. Little tighter hand compartment and what not but otherwise they still feel great. These feel good and they are still lasting very well. Would just prefer the standard training glove compared to these in general.

@@combat_corp Thanks man, yeah I do feel standards gloves are better on hand feeling but I really need that extra padding so I was just nervous about the quality on these glove.

I was probably speaking in generality but yes mine I believe are just the standard latex. I believe the orthopedic foam versions cost $800 or more...yikes

How was is it now?

​@@badoboss294 he is now gone

So it is a good concern to have but in general, the weight does not effect the padding as much if that makes any sense. Ozs are a measurement of weight and Reyes stays consistent with that padding threshold but yes sometimes Reyes has been known to make a glove slightly heavier due to the fact that latex is a very difficult material to pinpoint dead on accurate. Rival has the same issue with a lot of their gloves but even Russ Anber (owner of rival) has a video out there saying "focus more on the padding in the glove compared to the weight." Great example is to look at most amateur fight gloves. They might be 10-12 ozs but they are actually a lot more padded than a traditional 16 oz training glove. Heavier gloves were primarily designed for shoulder resistance so as you said if you are 165 pounds, 18 ozs might be naturally too heavy for you (not saying you can't do that I am sure you are plenty strong) but you may want to look into 14 ozs vs 16 ozs but 165 is right on that threshold. My advice would be to go with the standard of 16 oz for now and that should be just fine. Your body will naturally adapt to something heavier but don't be so concerned with the weight of the glove at the moment as it shouldn't effect your sparring rounds my friend. Sorry for the long winded answer, I hope this helps somewhat if not, just comment again!

@@combat_corp all good appreciate the response. I was looking into the everlast MX heard good things saw you had a video on that as well but didn't see it thru yet. Do you prefer reyes or the mx or are they very different? Thanks

I unfortunately will not do that with these gloves my friend! Reyes is just too close to home for me to do that with lol. I can get a red pair of gloves and do that though

@@combat_corp ok awesome we loved seeing that with the 3-x-blue

My literal next purchase is going to be those. My facebook is literally BLOWN up with those ads!

@@combat_corp thanks haha looking forward for the video

I looked into those years ago when getting my first pair of nice gloves. I punch really hard so it’s easy for me to tweak my wrists if I’m not spot on with my punches . I got them in 14 oz. they feel very stiff for me. Again I punch hard so I can feel it even in my shoulders on a heavy bag . Maybe I should have gotten 16 oz. I do use hayabusa kanpekis 16 oz. I got them both at the same time years ago. The haybusa has Velcro and lacing. They don’t make that one anymore but what I can say is that I can punch as hard as I want and have a way easier time . Unless I land totally wrong I’m fine . Iv been looking into new gloves . I like the idea of cletos and looked at these gloves years ago but idk. I often hit the bag so idk if it’s smart to go with gloves known for less overall protection . Fairtex just feel stiffer but if your looking for wrist support they don’t offer any special wrist support, it’s a thin Velcro strap. Nothing will help more than punching slow and feeling were the knuckle lands and then picking up the pace tho. The Hayabusa gloves are pretty great for what it’s worth.

@@heythere6983 Thanks for that comprehensive reply! Very helpful :)

You can use these for sparring

Ehhhhhhhhh. Yknow, I would say regular kickboxing without the clinch, absolutely. However, they are a little stiffer due to the extra padding and they took a little bit to break in so in my opinion, not the BEST for thai kickboxing...but they aren't the worst either

They do not feel overweight. Each glove is 16.8 oz so as reyes suggests, they are hard to gauge

I don't have any at all! I suck at everything I do with this sport! Teach me?
