Post Your Gloves/Gear

[destroyer4147]

Just ordered two pairs of Inter Muay Thai gloves. It's an older Thai brand whose trunks many K-1 fighters wore in the 90s and early 00s. I finally got them to reply to me. I'm doing a custom color pattern. They only have 6 colors to choose from: Red, black, blue, green, white and yellow. They're supposed to arrive in 2-3 weeks.

The gloves 16 oz. @1,250x2=2,500 THB.
Shipping cost by airmail to Cali = 2,300 THB.
Total amount = 4,800 THB.

They take PayPal. Contact via Facebook: Inter Muaythai

Nice man, besides the thumb issue how are you liking your New Sporting? They're my go to all around training glove, love the deep finger pocket.

Oh nice, how do you like those Sabas? Those the ones with the Old English font? Never tried any pro fight gloves on tbh, what's different about them? I had interest in Sabas when I believed they were made in Mexico. Ever since finding out they're Pakistani made I haven't given them much thought since Top boxer can build you pretty much anything for $150, though I have been seeing troubling things about QC issues lately.

I think the New Sporting are pretty cool.

These were the Sabas I picked up, really great feel for sparring, not so much bagwork imo

 

[destroyer4147]

ahh cool

I got some 14oz New Sporting not too long ago.. the thumbs were really stiff for me so I removed the thumb padding and I like them better now, the finger pocket is deep enough in them for me. I also got some Sabas Bella in 16oz as well a few months ago, they're nice feeling gloves, kind of feels like a bigger pro fight glove in a way

What did you do to remove the thumb padding?

 

[Minowafanatic]

What did you do to remove the thumb padding?

I put pressure on the thumbs to reverse them back in on themselves, and then (with scissors) cut the padding out with its liner. Photos of one of the gloves now:

Here are the pics of my Muay Thai gloves by Inter. They were sent to me earlier today by the owner, Mr. Jintawat. This is a Thai brand that I'd see often during the old K-1 days in the 90s and early 00s. The gloves themselves supposedly have been shipped and are on the way. Both pairs are 16 oz.


The leather seems really nice. It's unfortunate they only have 6 leather colors to choose from (red, black, blue, green, white, yellow), but despite that limitation I still went for a custom color distribution for both pairs. One thing I notice is that the embroidery seems to be done on a patch, which is then sewn onto the leather. From the pics, the patches seem obvious and the edges look rough. I would have preferred it if the design had been embroidered directly onto the leather, as is the case with my Classics Mexicombate gloves. The embroidery on my Hernandez Champs gloves also appear to be on a patch, but the edges are much cleaner. When these arrive, I'll post a pic of the embroidery the three brands side by side.

I'm looking forward to these. They seem to have a standard Muay Thai glove shape, with shorter cuffs and the long thumbs. It seems that it would be easy to open/close the hand for clinchwork.

I plan to start a cool rash guard collection soon. What do you guys think of these rash guards at xmartial? I saw some of their batman designed ones and I had to have one.

Can anyone vouch for this brand and recommend any other good brands?

@Endy How are your Barric's holding up?

Hii, i have barric from earlier batch and the new batch and i can say it’s a whole different level.
This new batch feels amazing specially the horse hair feels unique, you can feel the feedback really well but still safe for your hand. Very recommended and at least your need to try this one if you like horse hair padding gloves.

 

[Budchenko]

Thank you so much for your reply. I ordered these barrics Really excited for them. The only horse hair gloves I tried were grant fight gloves which I really enjoyed. My only concern with horse hair gloves is durability and also since barric's relatively new I haven't heard anyone speak about how long they last as opposed to say winning or cletos which have countless people attesting to their durability. How long have you had both your older and newer pair for? Have you had any other horse hair gloves? I've heard good things about 1v1 peacemakers (horse hair and foam) and am also interested in Salvador's horse hair training model as well. If you can speak on those or other horse hair gloves, I'd appreciate your insight.

Just try today my new gloves: Paffen Sport Heavy Hitter in 14oz with lace.
I was looking for lot of protection for my hands, but not too soft like Adispeed or Winning to use on the bag. The huge amount of foam on the Heavy Hitter intrigued me so I gave it a shot. First impression, for gloves costing around 100€, nothing surprising. It's not winning, but it's overall good quality, no default, weights are 13.6oz and 13.8oz.
They are not like Winning or Adispeed, gloves that are already break in, those are stiff and will need some time to get a little softer. The hands compartments are good, comfortable, snug. I don't know if you can wear big handwrap with gel pad inside, it will be too tight. But with the foam you will not need it. Very thick, bulky foam, very protective for the knuckles and back on the hand. I'm not disappointed by that aspect. The foam is hard to describe, very thick not soft but not hard like Rival gloves. Good impact on bag anyway. For 14oz, they are very very protective. I can't imagine 16 or higher.
Very good wrist protection, the shape of the glove make you hit the right way, no problem with that. I felt secure directly.

At this point that's all I can say, good first impression and sensations. The gloves need to break in a bit, the quality is good. Compare to my rival RS11V 16oz, those are better, and on the same level than Top Boxer. But they are not clone of Winning or other style, they seem pretty unique

For €100 they don't look too bad. Are they synthetic leather or real leather?

 

[r7n]

"Best handmade quality leather" from their website. Definitely real, after I think they are Pakistan made gloves.

their shape is the same as a lot of gloves tbh, they don't look unique at least in terms of their cut

 

[r7n]

Unique in terms of padding and protection, especially for 14oz. After the cut it's not original yes, and for people with hands a little larger than medium, go for the 16oz for having a larger hand compartment. But they are different that title or pro boxing gloves for sure.

How big is the profile? I have a friend at the gym who swears by his "Old School" Paffens. They are the biggest 14oz gloves I've ever seen, but he loves them.

 

[r7n]

I took some pictures with a Winning MS-600 16oz for comparison. They are big and bulky, but they weight is right.

Are you sure!!! They have a reputations of having padding missing ask the Wil....no I won't go there. They actually look like a decent pair of gloves.

The fact I was willing to treat this as an arcade thread post is a reminder I’m playing WAY too much D2R.

They look really good. I always liked paffen as they make quality gloves for an affordable price. Right now im looking for new 12oz gloves for pads and also bagwork. You mentioned the adispeed which I heared good things about but I never tried them. How do you like them overall? I guess I will either go for them or look for 12 oz paffen. Around the same price would be twins and fairtex but I think my hands are too big for those. Right now I cant really spend the money for winning, rival or mexican gloves.
