The khru on the academy has a pair of 12oz top king, i really dont know what kind of gloves they are, but they look more less the same of my kanpeki 16 oz.
The busas have a double strapon velcro closure system, that fixes the wrist position, top king does not.
Sone guys argue that the double strapon will break, but i dont remove and close often, i slip my hand past the first strapon.

What will you be using these gloves for? I have 16oz hayabusa sparring gloves and they are really stiff and the padding is super hard for sparring, never tried top king but only heard good things.

I have hayabusa 16 oz sparring gloves, 14 oz professional top kings and 10 oz pro top kings.
I would pick the top kings over hayabusa anyday.

Fight Stuff is pretty good.
Yeah, I can see imagine the results when someone decides to google "double strapon" to find other opinions on the 'busa's cuff closure.

If you're in the States, we can help you out.
definitely top king IMO, one of my friends has the hayabusas, and the double strap thing seems to be more of a hassle when he puts em on, and after a while, the leather just ripped.
Havent heard of any problems like that with top king

Haven't heard good things about the Hayabusas as sparring gloves.
Ideally you should have one pair for pad work, one pair for sparring.

I personally have not tried top king... the ones I have tried are twins/fairtex/windy and hayabusa.
from that list, I like the hayabusa's way above anything else. The double strap really is a good feature, and I dont know why people are saying it'll break, there is no sign of it breaking. I have used it for 2 years, about 5 times a week and theyre still great. Definitely some wear and tear now, but that would be expected from any glove being used heavily.
random thing that may not apply to anyone else. When I hold the busa's in front of my face, the spacing between the thumb and glove is perfect for me to put my chin in. So its basically made a home there and feels really natural... I guess it always kinda reminded me to keep my hands up lol.
I have no real bad things to say about the 4 brands I mentioned. I didnt like the 16oz twins because they were way too bulky and had a big pocket for me (5'7, 145lbs), but I really like their bag gloves
hope that helps
