In our shop, we are often asked about the difference between boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves.
Nowadays, there is little difference, and you can use all the boxing gloves from our shop for both boxing and kickboxing. We explain the small differences that do exist below.
The classic boxing glove
We sell several top models of classic boxing gloves, including those from the new Italian boxing brand Boxia Italy and the famous Cleto Reyes.
These are truly classic boxing gloves, as you can see from the long, flat cuff. The Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are also roomier on the inside. This means they also fit professional boxers with heavily wrapped hands.
The Cleto Reyes boxing gloves come with a hefty price tag, but in return you get a truly exceptional boxing glove. The very best quality leather has been used—truly top of the line.
The gloves are handmade in Mexico by proud craftsmen. The lining is water-repellent, which keeps the gloves super fresh. The quality of the padding also remains perfect.
It is therefore no surprise that Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are worn during important boxing matches.
The different kickboxing gloves
There are major differences between the various brands and models. What we personally like is extra padding on the palm and wrist.
This provides extra comfort during sparren and training. When catching kicks and punches, that little bit of extra padding feels really great, and it also protects your vulnerable wrist area better. The Twins BGN boxing glove excels in this respect.
The King Pro boxing gloves are also great for training. The extended wrist section provides extra support and protection for your wrist.
With the King Pro kickboxing gloves, you are also assured of firm padding, a thumb protector, and a comfortable fit. There are even the Thor gloves, the latest model line of King Pro boxing gloves.
The biggest difference lies in the closure and the extra padding around the boxing gloves. It is a wonderfully comfortable glove, but it does come with a hefty price tag.
The various models from XPRT are attractively priced. For example, the XPRT Top Gloves are made of leather and have padding around the wrist.
This provides a comfortable feel, and the long hook-and-loop closure keeps the glove perfectly in place. This model also has pleasantly thick padding, a thumb protector, and reinforced stitching.
So if you are looking for the glove with the best value for money, we recommend the XPRT Top Gloves boxing gloves.
Of course, you are also welcome to visit our shop to see the difference between boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves for yourself. We are open 6 days a week, and you can park for free in front of the shop.
