Choosing Your First Boxing Gloves — What Matters & Best Picks
Hey everyone,
I was reading a guide called “Top 10 Boxing Gloves for Beginners in Australia” (by MaxMyer), and it got me thinking: there’s a lot to consider when buying your first pair, especially if you’re training seriously. I thought it'd be cool to start a thread to help new boxers (or anyone upgrading) make a good choice, and to share what works (or doesn’t).
Here are some factors that the guide highlights:
• Weight/size (12-16 oz depending on your weight/goals)
• Material (leather vs synthetic)
• Padding & wrist support
• Closure (Velcro vs lace)
• Budget & brand
Gloves they recommend (some of them):
Venum Challenger 2.0, Sting Armafit, RDX Maya Hide, Fairtex BGV1, Morgan V2, Rival RB7, Greenhill Pro, Daedo, RDX Kara Pro, Yuth.
I’d love to hear from you all:
1. What did you buy first, and how did it perform?
2. What are your thoughts on leather vs synthetic for beginners?
3. Are there any gloves not in the “top 10” list that you think should’ve been?
4. Any tips on prolonging glove life (or keeping them smelling okay)?
5. For those in Australia (or your country), where do you get good deals / stock?
Looking forward to everyone’s recommendations & stories. Let’s help new boxers make a smart investment.
