Rival Boxing RB10 Intelli-Shock D3O Bag Gloves Review (XL) 

I bought a pair, I do a lot of training on the aqua heavy bag. They were very stiff at first but after a couple of sessions and breaking them in, I think they are excellent. They fit snuggly, and you can make a proper fist which gives you the feeling of a lot more control. The D30 does make a nice snapping sound, even when your doing a jab. As for the down side, let's not mess about....its an expensive peice of kit

I just bought a pair. Thanks to your video!

I actually ordered a pair of RS11V's in blue today because I currently only own Thai gloves and those don't support my weak wrists enough. They should be here next week, can't wait to try them.

Another great review. Beautiful looking gloves, but out of my budget. You mentioned that there are other options which are just as good for half the price; could you give me a couple recommendations in that regard? I just got a pair of Twins Special, but they're too loose around the wrist so I'm still hunting for good bag gloves. I'm 6 ft, 200lbs, hit hard and have somewhat long fingers. I'm a Massage Therapist, so ample padding is important to protect my hands. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

you have the best gloves revews i love your videos i am going to start back boxing so your videos help me alot keep it up and i am a new subscriber

It's been almost a year since your review of the RB10 bag gloves. Are you still using them? How are they holding up? How has your opinions change if any have on them? Haven't seem many long term reviews on them. Thanks.

Thank you for another great review. I've been watching your videos for years now and I've taken your advice on at least two occasions --- bought the Fighting Fury and the Fighting Road gloves, both of which were awesome. So I was hoping you could help me once again. I own the RB 50s and I love the feel and the ability to make a tight fist, but I'm looking for a glove that offers a little more knuckle protection. Can you tell me if the RB10s allow you to make that same tight fist as the RB50s, or are much stiffer?

Great review mate and it was nice that you touched upon an aspect of these gloves that I also really like and that’s the nice, crisp impact sound you get from them as you wade into the heavy bag or work the pads with a coach. Really nice feedback from them as you work the bag/pads. I haven’t regretted purchasing them in the least. Again, great review. Just out of interest, my old sparring gloves have finally given up the ghost and died on me so I’m in the market for a new pair, what would your personal recommendation be? Looking to spend between £170-250 on them (so about $220 - 320 US dollars), any particular recommendations? Thanks and great work.

Hey man great reviews like always have you ever tried the windy boxing lace up gloves?

Is the Rival your favorite bag glove ever? It would be awesome to hear what bag glove you think is best overall (where $ is no concern) and what glove you think is the best value (lower price but still performs great). Thanks

Carlo I agree on the d3o. I appreciate the d3o application but it is just a great idea in theory for boxing equipment. For a motorcycle helmet, it makes super sense because d30 hardens when Met with a force, but once it is hardened than it becomes a hard material. For a bike accident, it is great to have that in one occasion and you buy a new helmet but for boxing we hit 100 times or get hit over and over. So unless the material hardens and softens like a gel, I can’t see the use of it. if it was very good protector for repeated impact then all pro fighters would switch to d3o head gear but they still prefer winning. This is totally my opinion, and In my view a gel layer covered with latex outside for response would be the solution. Gel is great absorber, and latex with leather finish is great to hear the snap sound, aka pop.

Good review. Any problems with sizing? I'm used to 16oz so I'm thinking I should get the xl.

It's crazy what COVID did to the price of things. Just a few short years later, these gloves are now $230. That's a 40% increase for the exact same glove.

Thanks for the review. I’m the same height and weight and the only thing holding me back was this weird sizing they chose instead of just keeping it to ounces. I was concerned about the looseness at the wrist/forearm because I also heard that in other reviews. But the fit doesn’t look too bad on you. I just don’t want to go down or up in oz. I’ve been hitting with 14oz at the bag forever and don’t want to change that. So the XL’s are definitely 14oz or 16oz? The rival site says they’re 14oz but I want to be absolutely sure from someone that has them in their hands and knows the difference in oz size.

I have these in Gold. Favorite bag gloves after the RFX HDE.

Thanks for the review. Now that you’ve used the Rivals bag glove and the Hayabusa T3, which do you prefer for bag work? Right now I’m deciding between the T3 or one of Rival’s more expensive models. While I do care about wrist and knuckle support, what I want most is a glove that lets you make the best possible fist. I don’t see much point in fancy features if you can’t get your hand fully closed before you slam it into the bag. Do you have a favorite between the Rival and the T3? Or should I be loooking somewhere else? I’d love to hear your opinion on what you think is the best bag glove you’ve tried. Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos.

You said there are other gloves price wise in this market that are better/comparable to these. What did you have in mind?

I love these gloves but i got a question. When my gym opens back up can i use these gloves during pad work or is the really hard padding not ideal for pad work?

I literally just got these for 20 on eBay so lucky

Between the original RB10 (no ratchet strap) and the original Rival RB2, which would you recommend for bag work and why?

Awesome Review Just bought XL version, paid 143 felt I needed a good pair of bag gloves, was using winnings, so what are benefits on specific bag gloves over training gloves performance wise

What glove do you think has the absolute best wrist support? I'm looking for a bag glove that will give me the best support on my wrists. Thanks

So , what glove if any offers similar or close to the same knuckle and wrist protection that only weigh about 13 ozs? I ordered a pair of these in XL and feel they are bit too bulky and still prefer my old RB11's because of the size difference

Would you recommend getting the RB10, RB50 or the Guerrero’s? Regardless of price. Great video btw man

Question #1; Is the RB10 worth the extra $ over the RB11 bag glove? I'm on the fence and was considering the Fly Superloop X 16 oz- but the cost was holding me back but I see the RB10 is only a $25 difference in price over the Fly but the RB11 is a about a $60.00 over the Fly. Question#2- For overall wrist protection/ alignment, shock absorption what of the 3 (Fly,RB10,RB11) would be superior? Or is it really just too close to call?

Just got em and they don’t have the V strap!! A little pissed cause it feels a little less than snug around the wrist, but I’ll exchange them lol

good honest review!

Nice gloves but I had to replace them after a year and a half. Wore out the padding too much.

Carlo, I thought about these for the bag but now I need your help. Cleto Reyes bag mitts or Cleto Reyes training gloves. I’m not sparring. Only bag work twice a week. Hope you see this soon and yours is the best review channel in the genre. You’re the only one I’d hang out with. I’m 5’9” 188. But I hated amateur fighting with giant gloves so I want to stay smaller. Bag mitts seem like the choice but is spending the extra $60 for around 14 oz (I know that they run heavy) better for my wrists? They’ve been broken. Rival has the comfort but Cleto has the quality. Please help. Need more cardio in my gym life. 🥊

Which are the best gloves for heavy bag training between theses, RB11 Evo and others by rival ? Thanks bro

Ay bro. So ive been watching ur vids for like 2 years and im just starting to get into boxing, so what are the best but cheap. Boxing gloves for training and heavy bag? Pls respond. Ik u know alot

For bag work would you use these rival or cleto Reyes training glove

I noticed you got the xl for these and L for rb11 would you say the fit of rb11 has more room than than a rb10 in Large would? Talking finger department wise and which is more compact between the two

Hey bruddah, myself having wrist issues are these gloves good with wrist protection? And also, do you think the Rival RB1 Ultra Bag Gloves are just as good with wrist protection? I appreciate your time.

Hi I am 5'5 (1.68m) tall and weigh 132lb (60kg) which size you recommend, I usually train with the adidas hybrid 200.14 oz, they are fine because they remain enveloping What size should rb10 take? Thank you so much for your kindness

Thinking about buying one pair of those, any advice comparing to reyes extra padding and sabas? the reyes extra padding gives me wired feeling on bags, feels like crush the whole pad to my fist when hitting the bag, and my hands are powerless, shaking when I got home; the sabas kind like went though the gloves and hurt my fingers on bags. Thank you!

I’m a 13 year old junior boxer and after my bag sessions my hands have been shaking for a while after and I put it down to poor wrist protection on the basic adidas bag gloves so I’m gonna get these what size would u recommend for me small or medium (in the uk you have the option of 8oz aswell as 10oz)

These or Guerro HDEF bag gloves? Right now the new intellishock loma series are out of stock but these and Guerro HDEf are available. If the price were the same, would you go with these RB10 with intellishock or Guerro without intellishock?

is this the black and blue? on their website, the blue looks REALLY blue and yours look more Navy.

With plenty of ventilation and wrist support, can you get away from not wrapping hands

How did these hold up bro just concerned on the durability I hit pretty hard and sometimes “ durable” Gloves rip on me

The XL gloves weigh 14oz, thats what they said at RB

Are these the most protective bag gloves on the market? The D30 is definitely legit when it comes to shock absorbance, but is it implemented well to be more than a gimmick?

These, Hayabusa T3 or RingtoCage C17? Heavy bag, heavy hitter. $200 price limit.

Greetings. I have just started getting into boxing. My fingers are 8.5inches from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger. I measured around my knuckles and they measure 9.5 inches Can you recommend me a 16oz glove to ht the heavy bag with. Cost not an issue (within reason....not $500 dollars). I am looking to take up a hobby and have a great workout...not train to fight. I have enjoyed watching your videos. You appear to be knowledgeable. Thank you for any help you can provide. I will be purchasing a NAZO heavy bag based on your review. Thanks bro.

Hi,may I ask which one is better between RB10 ang RS11V in your opinion?

Great video, will you be doing a heavybag video wearing these?

Last question: :) Do you know of any other glove made with leather that has the similar dense foam as the RB10 or RB11? Been using the RB11 and I really like the foam and hand positioning BUT its fricken steamy hot, feels as if I have a plastic bag liner on my hand from the moment I put my hand inside of it. Wrist protection is great but honestly about the same as my 16oz Top Kings, definitely a gimmick and not needed.

Between rb1, rb10, rb11 and rb80 which would you recommend (and why) for the best protection on a really hard bag. The 10's and 11's seem nearly identical. Cheers

Are these also for hitting pads with a trainer as well?

Can I use them for padwork or is it going to cause problems for the person holding the pads

Newbie question but Can you use these for sparing ?

As of July 2024 and government inflation policies of "free" printed money - these gloves are $224. Yikes!😮 I still bought them but only because of the D30 padding and craftsmanship. Inside my work boots and other padded gear longevity has been excellent, far veyond foam life spans. I would rather spend extra once rather than buying something twice because of a foam where cells broke down forcing down time on another purchase. Just my experience, yours may vary.

Which one do you recommend Rb10, Rb11 or rb80 for bag work?

Do you prefer rival rb10 or new rival rfx guerrero intelli shock?

I'm 5'5 52kg Can I still buy the XL or would you recommend going small ?

Can you do the Rival RB5?

Is Rival RB11 Evolution better or Rival RB 10 intelli-shock? What's the difference between the two and are the RB11 just a newer updated version of the RB10

Are they good for mittes?

Which one is better rb10 d3o or the rb11 ?

Is XL equivalent to 16oz?

Why XL size? You're not that big

These or rb50?

At first you might not see the advantage of D3O, but it will last "forever". You cant break these gloves

China?? Fuck that.. I'll get venum 3.0
