Review: Fairtex BGV9 Mexican Heavy Hitter Boxing Gloves 

I’ve only really used a couple of Thai brand gloves, but from what I’ve used the quality has been excellent 👍🏼

@@ThatBoxingGuy Thanks! Awesome video! I would like everyone to know that my BGV9s are in white, so cleaning is a must!

@@GUnSNRoSeSrOcKzz how do you clean these?

@@ThatBoxingGuy Hey, I forgot to mention. I been using it on the bag for 10 rounds, for a month, before I sparred in them. It definitely gotten softer compared the first time I had them. However, in my opinion, it still feels a little dense. I do agree with you though that the inner layer is nice. Overall, I think it is okay for sparring since I got them in 16oz, and I got no complaints yet. I always tell my sparring partners, if you notice these gloves feel to rough, or hard, I will gladly switch them out. I have a spare fairtex glory gloves 16oz and those are super soft.

@@roberthsu94 how are the gloves now?

That Boxing Guy I’ve got them 10 oz, have twins 14 oz for sparring, but If i get angry at someone, def using the fairtex hahaha

How are the gloves now?

Glad I could help! I actually just got them in 16oz to see if they’re good for sparring… spoiler alert… they’re not if you’re a heavy hitter

@@ThatBoxingGuyyeah these are definitely hard gloves. I mainly use them for the bag work. It’s easy to make a fist in these, and I’m able to punch properly in these. I like these more than my title pro Mex gloves.

Underrated* and np man! Idk if your in the market for new gloves but I've heard nothing but good things about the Hayabusa t4 boxing glove or the Twins Special gloves. Neither one are your stereotypical boxing glove but I hear there both great. I'd love to hear your take on them, but keep it up!

@@ThatBoxingGuy I think the kanpeki is the "premium vintage" version of the T3 but yeah I'd love to hear the review for those.

@@ThatBoxingGuy 16

@@ThatBoxingGuy very soft

@@ThatBoxingGuy They are kind on the expensive side ($120 including shipping to the US). Which puts them just under a pair of Cletos. My only concern with the Cletos (and I also saw your review on them) is that they might be a bit wide for my skinny and long hands. Also, I just love the grip bar at the end of the finger tips on the Fairtex. If the BGL7s are less wide than the Reyes, and have the two grip bar system then I am kind of sold on them. Or should I just go for some nice and shinny Cletos? What would you do? Awesome channel you have BTW. Thanks!

@@ThatBoxingGuy Yesterday I ordered a pair from a Thai vendor, $100 shipped to my door. Got them in full murder Red (front and back) 14oz. Once they are here I'll report back to you. Question, whats your experience with elastic laces? in your videos it looks like you are just sliding your hand in the gloves using regular laces. Love your channel, keep it on!

@@jacobojuliomenajovsky1724 Can you update us on your experience with the BGL7's?

If your hands hurt a lot be sure your wrapping yourself hands every time also be sure you’re wrapping correctly. Wraps should not be tight what so ever

@@ThatBoxingGuy they're so huge, they need a zip code

Hey, thanks for commenting. But yeah, it really depends of the brand. Some brands like Cleto have the gloves a smaller fit as you go down in ounces. So I was surprised how well my hand fitted in these gloves

Whoa! That’s nuts! We pay double the amount here in North America

According to my Muay Thai friends, the back of the hand doesn’t have enough padding to block kicks, and the wrist is not flexible compared to traditional MT gloves for clinching

Most of the time in Muay Thai class / drill work your not actually catching full force kicks unless your sparring (when yes you would use a more padded 16oz sparring glove) but for light drilling, pad work and the heavy bag, these gloves look like they could be a good option to me, when you want something not too bulky and pillow like for better feedback from pads and bag. Most clinching practice that I have seen is done without gloves on at all, and when your full sparring in 16oz gloves, clinching becomes a bit awkward. I actually train most of the time in Rival RFX Guerrero 10oz bag gloves, which I love. The only draw back is the hard plastic D ring on the wrist does scrape your pad holders head when you grab them to knee. Hence my interest in these BGV9s in 12 or 14oz as an option.

Thumbs were a bit short , but not too bad. I don’t really have very long thumbs, though

@@ThatBoxingGuy Oh no, the gloves might go all the way my elbow lol 😅 thank you so much for the reply. I enjoy watching your videos a lot.

@@ThatBoxingGuy fantastic thank you, they sound Ideal. I think for my amateur gym thet recommend 16oz gloves. I'm 75kg and 6ft - would you say 16oz? - good to build up shoulder strength etc.

If you’re just using them for bagwork, 12 or 14 should be good. The one in the review is 12 oz, and I thought they are good

Okey thank You Brother 🙏🙏🙏😁

I'd buy it, 😂

Fly X when I want to be nice, Reyes when I don’t, 😜

Haven’t tried the H4, is that the right model name?

That Boxing Guy thanks man do u prefer this than bgl7

That Boxing Guy thanks so much man

What ounces are your gloves?

Not sure how the padding is for 16oz, but I remember someone in the comments saying they were good for sparring

@@ThatBoxingGuy Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it.

knuckle protection is not good for heavy bag .it is 16 oz but it is 18 oz also it is stiff gloves.at the begining my sparring partners werent happy :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GfbBW9-QwfE.html pad performance nice review

@@ThatBoxingGuy Bro can big fist fit in 12oz Fairtex? Thanks

@@MM-lp5pp Hell no. Get a 16.

I actually have both of them in 16oz, and let me tell you, the bgv9 is better in terms of diversity. Win1 topboxer for 16oz is not the best glove for bag and mitts because of how soft they are so you don't feel your punches because they are meant for sparring.

I consider fairtex one 12oz. Let me see how ot works...

Those were 12oz, I did recently get them in 16 oz to test out for sparring. But haven’t used them yet

@@ThatBoxingGuyAre 12oz fairtex will be enough safe for my knuckles ?

Nice, those glory gloves look pretty sweet

Coach i think you should give a review to our own made boxing gloves too, like manila ice, payantog, and titan too

@@ThatBoxingGuy thank you for feed back 👍🥊

Like to ask the same question.

I actually already answered this but when I change my account to a business account all my comments got deleted. But I prefer these. I find the hayabusa too restrictive. But good if you need that wrist support

@@ThatBoxingGuy appreciate the rapid response. One more quick question, what weight would you recommend for a 230 pound guy that will use the gloves for mitt and heavy bag only?

Any size really. If strictly for the bag and mitts it doesn’t matter, go light if you like speed and precision or heavy if you want protection and work endurance
