Rival Boxing Gear gloves Super Sparring RS2V Black 2.0 Boxing gloves

Black is the color of the boxer who doesn’t need to stand out—his gloves do the work. The Rival Super Sparring RS2V in Black is the most timeless choice in the RS2V range: no distractions, just performance.

Ergo Xtreme Strap: the double diagonal closure

The RS2V features the patented Ergo-Xtreme-Strap-System—a unique combination of a diagonal and double hook-and-loop closure. While standard hook-and-loop supports the wrist from one side, the Ergo Xtreme Strap system tightens the cuff evenly from both sides.

The result: a phenomenal fit around the wrist that you won’t find in any other glove in this price range.

Specific features

  • + Silicone Rival Patch
  • + Indestructible Super Rich Microfiber

    Of Indestructible Super Rich Microfibre is the patented outer material that Rival specifically developed for its premium product line. It is not standard microfibre—it is a unique material developed by Rival itself that withstands the demanding conditions of intense daily training without losing its shape, color, or structure.

    The material combines two properties that are normally difficult to bring together: extremely strong and lightweight. Where traditional leather is heavier and stiffer, this microfibre offers a rich, premium look with a softness that feels comfortable right away—and stays that way, even after many hours of training.

    This is the material that defines the RS and Guerrero lines, and the reason Rival gloves still look as good as new after years of use.

  • + Soft, foam-like inner lining
  • + Printed Rival graphics

    Of Printed Rival graphics give the product its recognizable Rival look. The prints are sharp, colorfast, and resistant to sweat and intensive use—so the product still looks sleek even after many training sessions.

    Rival deliberately chooses high-quality printing processes that preserve the color and sharpness of the design over time. A subtle yet visible sign of the attention to detail that Rival puts into every product.

Ergo Strap XTREME system Ergo Strap XTREME system

The Ergo Strap Xtreme System offers the best ergonomic fit, tension, and support you need in a glove with a single strap and hook-and-loop closure instead of laces.

By increasing the width of the strap, especially around the wrist, you get maximum support and protection with a single-strap glove.

What does Rival’s Conic Design involve?

Rival Boxing pays attention to the smallest details in ergonomics and anatomy.

The wrist of the gloves with Conic Cuff Design is set at a 15-degree angle so that it follows the natural angle of a boxer's hand.

With that detail in mind, the Conic design has been incorporated into Rival boxing gloves. Take a look at the back of your hand: you’ll notice that the line from the top of your little finger to your wrist runs diagonally, and there’s another angle from your wrist to your forearm. Unlike most other manufacturers, our boxing glove design takes this into account.

Because the wrist of the boxing gloves with Conic Cuff Design is narrower than the edge of the glove that fits around the forearm, these gloves fit a boxer’s wrist better, providing maximum comfort, stability, and performance!

How do Rival boxing gloves fit?

Rival boxing gloves are known for their close-fitting, ergonomic fit.

This is particularly true of the sparring gloves, which are designed to provide a safe and comfortable feel, with an emphasis on wrist support and knuckle protection.

As soon as you put on the Rival boxing gloves, you notice that the inner lining adapts to your hands and, so to speak, embraces them, regardless of the glove weight you choose. This is a unique feature of Rival, with a special foam-like inner lining.

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

They are known for their padding that is suitable and safe for both you and your training partner.

Each Rival boxing glove has a unique size chart that you should consult carefully.

Some fighters find them too tight at first, but over time (during the break-in period), they become increasingly comfortable.
