Boxing gloves Rival Super Sparring RS2V Red 2.0

To extend the life of your Rival boxing glove, it is important to take good care of it.

• Always use clean handwraps, gelwraps, or inner gloves
• Take them out of your bag immediately after training
• Wipe the outside with a clean, dry cloth
• Use a deodorizer to help your boxing gloves dry faster and more thoroughly on the inside
• Store them in a cool, dry place with good natural ventilation
• If necessary, use an antibacterial spray
• For leather Rival boxing gloves: use leather grease/leather conditioner once a month to prevent cracking and drying out

Yes. This material has been proven to be at least as strong as genuine leather. In addition, it retains its color better and is less susceptible to tearing and temperature fluctuations.

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the martial arts world, with a focus on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had an in-depth understanding of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality equipment that would meet fighters’ needs.

No.

There are not really any women's boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are unisex, but women usually simply choose a lighter boxing glove (read: smaller size). These are available in various color combinations.

Women generally have somewhat narrower hands than men, so it is better not to choose an overly heavy boxing glove. We have made a separate selection within our range of boxing gloves that are more suitable for women due to their fit.

Oz stands for the English word ounce. An ounce (abbreviated as oz) is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that follow this system. One ounce is approximately equal to 28.35 grams.

For boxing gloves (and MMA gloves), this refers to the weight(the size) of the gloves. The larger the gloves’ padding, the higher the oz.

No.

Actually, there is no difference.

There are brands that focus more on boxing, while others focus more on kickboxing and thai boxing. 

There are some minor differences, but in practice, you can use boxing gloves for kickboxing and kickboxing gloves for boxing.

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 this detail in mind, the conical design has been incorporated into Rival boxing gloves. 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 is 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!

Rival boxing gloves are known for their snug, ergonomic fit.

This is especially 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 envelops them, so to speak, 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 an excellent 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.

Every Rival boxing glove comes with a unique size chart which you should consult carefully.

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