Aside from Winning? Bill and r2c are the 2 that just come to mind.
There are actually tons of such gloves. For exemple Adidas pro imf are exactly on weight.

Are those the ones your talking about Shitzu?
How are these? They certainly look nice(I mean if these are the ones your talking about)...
Yup, these I meant. But you can get them from Title much cheaper.

Hi Juan,
Is it possible to get pro fight gloves(horse hair and foam) from any of the custom glove makers?

Ringside gloves tend to be exact on their weight as well. I know Ringside hasn't been getting too much love lately, but I would definitely go with them over Adidas!
From what I hear, from reliable sources, not even the Adidas Amateur headgear is that great and that is their flagship boxing product.
I am unsure how relevant is Adidas AIBA headgear, which is essentially a different piece of gear in every area. Moreover I hate Adidas AIBA gloves.
I was speaking purely about these particular gloves mentioned above, which I have used, not only seen or heared from whatever source. They are well made, good stitching, nice fit, nice wrist support and good protection.
I have used Ringside IMF and Heritage. And these Adidas are definitely a better value by far for 72 bucks like they are with the code than Ringside IMF for 100-120 or Heritage for 200.
Just my 2c.

Everything is a better value than ringside heritage. Considering on ratkuen you can get a a 16 oz pair of winnings for 242 USD plus shipping. Heritage is a joke. My $130 ring to cage are significantly better quality than heritage. Really turned me off from most of ringside's stuff.:/

You are the only guy, whose opinion I respect anyway, who has anything good to say about Adidas. I tried their Amateur/AIBA headgear and they point blank suck.
A kid at the gym bought the AIBA gloves and they fell apart in 4+ months. Now, AIBA stuff is supposed to have a certain acceptable level of quality. If Adidas does bad on that, I can only imagine what the other stuff looks like.
As for me, I stand behind my 'old style' IMFs, which I paid $65+ shipping for. They are true to weight, good stitching and the padding is very good.

Wow I'm surprised Gus. I like the Adidas AIBA headguard. Different strokes for different folks
For the AIBA gloves falling apart, keep in mind at least that they are competition gloves not built for training.

I wouldnt have even noticed without you pointing it out lol.
Mine are still holding up well. They are pretty well made. But naturally these are not high end gloves, they are just decent for 72 bucks, in my opinion much more decent than 120 new ringside IMF. For 72 I really, really like them.
I would not judge Adidas gear from the experience with AIBA. As I said I hate AIBA Adidas gloves, I would never use them for anything but competition. I much more prefer Top Ten or even Everlast AIBA. And honestly I really do not think AIBA gear is relevant here.
These rigid cuff gloves are really good gloves, at least for 72. But completely agreed, the old Ringside IMF offer an equal value for 75 (though I still prefer Adidas).

Just got my Boxeos in today!
Thanks a lot!
So far, they're exactly what I was hoping for.
They're not as wide as they look in the pictures and the thumb protector doesn't look as big in person.
I think the leather's real nice, might be my favorite in a glove.
Overall, the gloves are a little like a more padded version of Grant with softer, more supple leather.
They also kind of remind me of KO fight gears with better leather, more padding, and a longer cuff.
Really easy to open the palm and bend the wrist back for Thai style defense.
Will do a more complete review at the 1 month point.

those look nice, the thumb protector area does not look as big on those, that makes me excited to get mine in a few weeks. Are those 16s?
