Great review man, I have the lace up version of this gloves. Good gloves indeed the leather is so strong and durable.. Great for heavy bag, I have 12oz lace up green, white palm and red thumb.
Great review. I was doing some research looking for a Muay Thai glove that fit more like a western boxing glove and found Raja. Then I found your video and decided to grab a pair on ebay. I bought a pair from the same seller you purchased from. This is not a knock on the seller, but I was disappointed with the gloves. They were in brand new packaging but were defective. The left glove was way smaller than the right glove and had a completely different shape. And on top of that, the velcro did not stick. When I bought these I understood that the seller didn't accept returns but he was no help when I messaged him about the gloves being defective. He just told me to contact Raja. I was disappointed because otherwise, they are a very comfortable glove after their break in period. Keep up the good work on glove reviews!
Yeah that is kind of disappointing in regards to your experience, especially with defective gloves. I would maybe contact Ebay and see if they can help at all.
Man ,for the next time you gonna buy a muay thai gloves directly from thailand there is a few online stores with really good prices and quallity. muay thai goods/factory are a very good stores to buy from.
@@tzahi12370 You are definitely right! Almost half a year later, I decided to try another pair of Raja's. This time, I purchased them from Muay Thai Factory instead of eBay. After a bit of research, I saw that Raja gloves made in 2011 and earlier had problems with the velcro and quality control (basically anything with the old logo). Man, this pair I received is like night and day. They came factory sealed and the velcro is brand new. Each glove is also the same shape. Lastly, the foam overall already has a almost broken in feeling unlike this model in the video. Thanks again for the suggestion!
@@csquaredboxing I took your advice and contacted eBay and they were able to help me out. Almost half a year later, I took the plunge and purchased another pair of Raja's. This time, I bought them from Muay Thai Factory instead of eBay. It looks like Raja gloves made in 2011 and earlier (basically anything with the old logo) had problems, especially with the velcro. The pair I received with the new logo is like night and day. Each glove is also the same shape and the foam overall already has a almost broken in feeling unlike this model in the video. I think it's worth picking up a pair from Thailand with the new logo and doing another review. Nevertheless, thanks for your reply!
@@eddiebugayongjr1881 you're welcome..I bought a lot of gloves from Thailand not only Raja and never disappointed..you know its genuine and brand new and was made in the same year you ordered when you buy from Thailand. I ordered from Thailand: twins,top king,raja,boon and fairtex all of those were good gloves and definitely not fake. Nice to know raja made a different padding because in my experience they need some time to break in because the high quality materials they used but the leather of Raja is one of the best really strong..
Nice review. I agree these run very small. I had a 16 oz pair that were beautiful gloves but I could not get my hands in them without wraps so I gave them away. I am 6 ft 175 lbs and wear a size large winter glove. The largest weight class at Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand (the World Series of Thai Boxing) is 155 lbs so many Thai brands run small. Top Kings are even smaller than Raja. If you're my size or larger and want a Thai glove I would stick with Windy, Twins 16 oz, and certain Fairtex models. If you're a super heavyweight and have hands like lunch boxes I would recommend Rev Gear (not a Thai brand) which are huge.
I wear size large gloves and ordered some raja gloves after overthinking from all the available options, would’ve went twins but Amazon has fake gloves, and the Thai store I ordered from instead were sold out of the twins
Where did you order these from? I have top kings, twins and a few fairtex and was thinking about getting these too. 50 bucks is a steal for these gloves.
Great review again! By the way, please let us know how does it compare to Decha in terms of overall quality (leather/workmanship), hand compartment size and breathability (very important since i tend to sweat alot when working out). Thanks alot !
Thanks! As far as quality with Decha, theyre almost identical, same style of leather and attention to detail on both, so no clear victor there....Hand compartment I'd say Decha is a little better being slightly roomier and more natural fitting. Breathability theyre both average, not much ventilation and they can get pretty hot.
Hey, csquaredboxing, thanks for the nice review. I think twins is the best muay thai glove. What do you think about the quality of Raja glove compared with twins? Is the Raja same quality with twins?
hey carlo i really need recommendation for which muay thai glove to get Sanabul battleforged or raja rbgv - 1 ??? i found rajas for 45$ on muaythaifactory
