Boxing gloves with laces

Lace-up Boxing gloves are the choice of professional boxers and advanced athletes who want maximum fit and support during sparren and competitions. Fight2Win carries the absolute top brands: Rival, Cleto Reyes, Winning, Twins and Di Nardo Worldwide - all available directly from stock in Waddinxveen.

Lace-up gloves are tied more tightly around the wrist than hook-and-loop gloves, providing better wrist support and a closer fit. Standard weights of 12 oz, 14 oz and 16 oz are always in stock.

All lace-up gloves in this collection are made for serious use. The difference lies in the materials, construction, and price range:

Microfiber - premium range: Rival RS100 Pro Sparring - Microfiber, excellent padding, popular among advanced boxers. Rival Ultra RS1 2.0 - Microfiber, slightly more compact model.

100% leather - top class: Rival RFX Guerrero - 100% leather, handmade, Rival's professional Sparring glove. Cleto Reyes - 100% leather, handmade in Mexico, the classic choice of professional boxers worldwide. Available in Black, Red, White, Silver, Gold, Blue and Pearl.

Ultrapremium - handmade leather: Winning MS600 - 100% leather, handmade in Japan, the gold standard in professional boxing. Winning MS300 - Compact 10 oz. model. Grant Pro Lace-up - 100% leather, handmade, iconic American boxing brand.

Italian design: Di Nardo Worldwide - 100% leather, handmade in Italy, exclusive editions (Impattatore, Supremo, Viola Furia, La Bestia, La Fiamma, Pelle di Leone).

Lace-up gloves are used almost exclusively for sparring and competition - not for punching bag training. Choose the weight based on body weight and use:

Sparring:

• up to 70 kg - 14 oz
• 70-85 kg - 14 oz or 16 oz
• +85 kg - 16 oz or 18 oz

Competition: The weight is determined by the organization and weight class - usually 10 oz (lighter classes) or 12 oz. Always check your federation's regulations.

10 oz: available in the Winning MS300 line - specifically for competition use in lighter weight classes.

Practical: With lace-up gloves, you always need a second person to tie them up. For solo training on the punching bag, hook-and-loop gloves are more practical.

Lace-up Boxing gloves have several clear advantages over hook-and-loop gloves - but also drawbacks you should know before making your choice.

Advantages of lace-up gloves:

• Snug fit - Laces are tied tighter around the wrist than hook-and-loop straps, providing better wrist support
• No hook-and-loop straps - no risk of scratches or irritation for your training partner during clinch work or sparren
• Streamlined cuff - the wrist feels less bulky than with wide hook-and-loop cuffs
• Padded wrists - most lace-up models have extra wrist padding for increased comfort

Disadvantages of lace-up gloves:

• Help needed - you always need a second person to tie the laces
• Slower to put on and take off - not ideal for shorter training sessions or when quickly switching between exercises
• Lace ends - loose lace ends can irritate or cut your training partner if not tied properly

Conclusion: Lace-up gloves are the standard in professional boxing and for serious sparring. For solo bag work or fitness, hook-and-loop gloves are more practical.

Lace-up gloves are traditionally available in classic boxing colors:

Lace-up gloves are primarily intended for professional boxers and advanced athletes who spar or box in competitions. They are also used in high-level thai boxing and kickboxing.

Boxing - the primary sport. All models are designed for this. Cleto Reyes, Winning and Di Nardo are iconic names in professional boxing.

Thai boxing / Muay Thai - the Twins BGLL1 is especially popular in Thai gyms. The Rival RFX Guerrero is also used in high-level thai boxing.

Kickboxing - lace-up gloves are used less often in kickboxing than in boxing, but are permitted by most organizations.

Not suitable for: beginners, solo bag work, or athletes without someone who can tie the laces.

Almost all lace-up gloves in this collection are made of 100% Leather—a worthwhile investment that will last through many training sessions with proper care.

After each training session:

• Leave the gloves open to dry in a ventilated place
• Use an antibacterial spray to prevent bacterial growth
• Use an deodorizer to help the gloves dry faster from the inside

Leather care (Cleto Reyes, Winning, Rival RFX, Twins, Di Nardo, Grant):

• Wipe with a damp cloth after use
• Treat periodically with leather grease to keep the leather supple and flexible
• Do not dry in direct sunlight—Leather dries out and cracks

Microfiber (Rival RS100, Rival Ultra RS1):

• Wipe with a damp cloth; do not submerge
• No leather grease needed

Always: use handwraps—this protects the inside of the glove and significantly extends its lifespan.
