Can't Decide

Im looking in to buying a new pair of boxing gloves for heavy bag work. Can someone help me decide which one would be best? Im thinking about getting the Fairtex Training Gloves or the Fighting Sports Tri-tech bag gloves from Title. Im leaning more towards the Fighting Sports gloves because of the wrist support and grip bar. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks

I'm not a fan of anything fighting sports makes... fairtex makes nice gear with dense padding. Boons and rivals have the best wrist support IMO.

not tried fighting sport, but I have a pair of fairtex bvg9's and they are really good, fantastic padding and wrist support, now they are broken in they do have a pretty big hand compartment though (which suits me as most gloves are a bit tight on me)

I only do boxing and I am a heavy puncher.

For me the Fairtex bgv1s were not good on the heavy bag at all. Every time I used them I had bruised knuckles. All the had going for them was the compact size.

I had the Fighting Sports Tri Tech as well they are way more protective.

If you want to do heavy bag work I would recommend F/S. If you want fairtex I would go with BGL-7. Those are amazing, but are lace-ups.

What about making a fist in the Fairtex Training Gloves? I heard they have no grip bar and is making a fist comfortable in them?

I'm pretty sure the only Fairtex glove without a grip bar is the BGV-1, all the rest of the Fairtex line has grip bars.

What's the manufacturer's ID for the "Fairtex Training Gloves"? BGV-1?



Fairtex will probably last longer and the Fighting Sports will provide better overall protection

have not yet used Fairtex but my buddy has the Tri-tech's. Let me borrow them and they provided great wrist support and excellent padding in the knuckles.
