Rival RS11V Evolution Sparring Gloves Review 

This guy has such a positive energy. Rival RS11Vs are definitely going to be one of my options.

i’m gonna have to pick these up

Can you review the rival rs80v sparring glove basically seems a similar glove to these but retails £50 cheaper then these at 100quid i think alot of ppl would be interested in a review, i can't seem to find any reviews on youtube of them and your reviews are brilliant

Is the hand tighter here than in the fly x model? If you had to keep this one or the fly superloop x, which one would you choose?

Have you tried the RS80 Impulse sparring glove? If so would you recommend them for a first pair of sparring gloves? I'm also considering Twins Special, but thinking they may be a little bulky (I like the leather though). Thanks!

When they first came out with these gloves the stiching wasn't done to well it really looks like they sharpened up these gloves very well intrested in another pair might get them soon. In the 16oz version do you think It would fit the 1/8 inch skull tech gel pad folded in half? Or would it take up to much room in the glove

I recently bought these directly from Rival, and I thought I share my impression here, as Rival will not post reviews that are less than 5 stars on their site (obviously). Not even sure why they bother asking for the feedback, if they are not intended to post it. Anyway... I bought 16oz gloves, and initially they were so tight that I had to put tennis and golf balls in order to make some room for the hands. They are quite compact, which I like, but it's a bit difficult to make a good fist in them. I think it make sense to by one size up, so maybe I should have bought 18oz, especially considering that these gloves weigh less than nominal number: 16oz weigh about 14.5 -15 oz. I thought they needed to be broken in, in order to fit better, so I used them on the bag, but even after a month of using them on the bag, they give me a lot of pain in the knuckles and especially in the wrists - so much that I had to take some time of the gym. I'm doing boxing for 7 years and my hands and wrists are generally well conditioned. I can work the heavy bag just wearing thin mittens, but not in these gloves. A few other things to note: 1) the padding is quite hard, it's actually very comparable to my Rival mexican bag gloves (which I love), maybe even slightly harder. I prefer softer gloves for sparring, in order to protect my sparring partner. For the same reason I don't by Reyes or any other mexican gloves for sparring, despite a very comfortable fit - they are great for the bag work, as well as for a fight, where you really want to hurt your opponent, but not for sparring. So, overall, despite great construction and material, I cannot recommend these gloves. I think there are much better sparring gloves out there, that cost same or even less.

What’s your hand circumference? Thanks.

Better These or fly superlace X?

Better wrist support then Hayabusa T3/Kanepki??

Great gloves. Just got a pair myself. U said they are different from the previous ones u owned. In what way? Are these a updated version? And can i use them for bags, pads, etc?

Great review. Thank you. I’m 5’ 9” and 65kg (I have thin wrists and medium sized hands). Would 14oz or 16oz be best? I’ll be wearing hand wraps and a knuckle guard. Thank you very much.

they are good gloves but don’t get if you have longer fingers because it is very short

Hey man, I am looking for my first pair of 16oz sparring gloves, would you say these are worth going for? I was tempted by the Rival RS1 gloves but taking them on and off would be a nightmare for light sparring.

Great job with this review! I’m looking for a sparring glove and I can’t choose between these Rival RS11V and Adidas Adispeed 501. I’d use them only for sparring because I already own a pair of bag glove. What’s your suggestion? Thank you 😊

Do you think the way how the thumb attaches to the padding bother you since you cannot move your thumb much? Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the nice review of these gloves! I'm considering to buy a pair of these but is struggling to purchase 14Oz or 16Oz of them. I've got a pair of Adispeed 501 Pro 14Oz and find it fits right to me (16Oz is also OK but a bit heavy). How do you compare RS11V with Adispeed 501 in internal space? Is it about the same or there is some room difference between the two? Thank you!

I can’t find them in your store 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are they ok for pad & bag work ?

Good review. I have long fingers so this should do.

What’s a good pad and bag glove will spend upto 150 pounds?

Перчатки ) Огонь!)

Could you use them for muy Thai ??

I'm 5"9 and about 80kg witch weight would be good as I'd be using this for sparring and bag

These gloves are too small if u have large hands. The older rival gloves with the two straps are better and cheaper
