All about Cleto Reyes boxing gloves

From model selection and weight advice to maintenance and limited editions — below you will find all the information you need to choose the right Cleto Reyes boxing gloves.

"The Reyes boxing gloves are what you use if you want to knock people out."

The Puncher's Glove: what makes Cleto Reyes unique

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are the gold standard in the professional boxing world. The Mexican brand has a legendary status that comes with a strong dose of nostalgia — especially when it comes to traditional leather boxing gloves in the highest segment.

In the boxing world, Cleto's are known as the "punchers gloves": light, balanced, and compact compared to other brands. The secret lies in the unique latex-foam padding that does not absorb moisture (water or sweat) and adapts to your hands with use.

Each glove is handmade by artisans with years of experience, from selected leather of the very best quality. Approved by all boxing federations, featuring a unique production stamp — Made in Mexico.

Velcro Sparring or lace-up closure: comparing two models

Fight2Win carries both main models of Cleto Reyes boxing gloves.

Wrap-Around Sparring Gloves (Velcro) — the most popular choice for training and sparring. Easy to put on and take off yourself, long cuff for optimal wrist support. Available in 12, 14, 16, and 18 oz. Price range: €299–€399.

Traditional Lace Sparring Gloves (laces) — the classic professional model. The lace closure provides a tighter, more personalized fit around the wrist. Popular with competitive boxers and fans of traditional craftsmanship. Available in 12, 14, and 16 oz. Price range: €299–€349.

Both models are made from the same top-quality leather with the same unique latex-foam padding. The difference lies purely in the closure and the feel around the wrist.

Weight advice: which oz suits you

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are available in 12 oz, 14 oz, 16 oz, and 18 oz (depending on the model). The right choice depends on your body weight and use:

12 oz - lighter boxers (up to ~65 kg), padwork, and technique training

14 oz - most versatile, suitable for most adults for sparring and training

16 oz - heavyweights and intensive sparring; extra protection for you and your sparring partner

18 oz - only available in the Velcro Sparring line; for heavy sparring or at the coach's request

Unsure? Always choose the heavier weight for sparring — it protects both boxers better.

Colors and limited editions in the assortment

The Velcro Sparring line is the most extensive in colors: Black, Red, Blue, White, Gold, Silver, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Black-Gold, Black-Jade, Blue-Gold, White-Gold and the popular Mexico-colorway.

How do the Cleto Reyes boxing gloves fit?

Cleto Reyes boxing gloves have a snug fit, designed (using latex foam) to adapt over time to the fighter's hand.

They may feel tight at first, especially with handwraps. However, this ensures that after the "break-in" period they provide a very good fit for narrow, normal, and wide hands alike. 

They are known for their firm and even quite hard padding.

It is important to choose the right size (not too small), as Cleto Reyes boxing gloves do not offer much extra space, especially with long handwraps.

Latex-foam padding. Latex foam feels soft and is quite flexible, allowing it to adapt well to the shape of the hand.

Cleto Reyes uses latex-foam padding for all sparring gloves, allowing them to mold very well to the user's hands.
