Fairtex BGV-1 Fairtex as amateur fight gloves

[Nick Patient]

Hi everyone and thank you for any responses. I am wondering if the BGV-1s are good gloves for an amateur muay thai fight. Some back ground information is that I have trained for over a year now and I will be fighting soon in a Sub-18 muay thai amateur fight and I would like to buy a new and better pair of gloves for it. So my question is are the BGV-1's just for training and sparring or are they good for a amature fight?

They would be fine.

No, at a smoker a few months ago they made everyone was them and most people complained. Ask the organization if there are any rules for the gloves and we can help you out from there.

Thats what I use, thats what everybody at my gym uses. Ive never had an issue with them.

If you like the way they fit you, they should be fine.

sorry, just re-read that.

bgv1 is good for training, but for an actual fight/smoker, the lace up version is better I think, Ive never done a fight where we were allowed to use training/velcro gloves.

Again, if you want some BGV1s for training, sure. FOr a fight, look into a 10oz lace up version like this:
