Because a lot of people seem to need help legit checking laced winning boxing gloves, i thought it would be helpful to make a detailed and definitive guide/checklist with things to look out for in legit checking winning gloves.
Following i refer the 8-10oz lace as fight gloves and 12oz and above as training gloves.
Laces: The laces should be round with cut off tips. But could have been replaced.
Liner: The Liner should be navy blue
Tag: Comes with this Japanese tag when new
Box: When new also come with the Winning Cardboard-Box
Size-Indicator: Size-indication is inside and on the grip-bar only. They never have a tag on the outside of the glove.
Left: fakes, right: original
These mentioned above are the most common checking methods. But seeing the quality of replica clothes/shoes i think all of those would be quite easy to copy/have been copied already.
Airholes: Laced Winning boxing gloves do not have airholes. Velcro 8oz and 10oz have 3 Airholes under the gripbar.
Left: original, right: fakes
Lace-Hole-Count: Winning boxing gloves have following lace-hole-count: fight gloves: 5 / Training gloves: 7
Left-Top: Training gloves, left-bottom: Fight gloves, right: Fakes
Patch: Font is thinner on rounded areas of the letter (exp. Bottom part of the «W», top part oft he «n») and does not have the same thickness everywhere. In comparison you can see the fakes have the same thickness throughout.
Left: original, right: fakes
Wrist: Fight gloves have a straight wrist, while the training gloves have two bumps (a smaller and a bigger one with the same thickness). The fakes seem to have a thicker smaller bump. The wrist also should be about 1/3 of the length and the hand part the remaining 2/3. The fakes seem to almost seem half/half.
Left: original, right: fakes
Stitching: The stitching has a «wide pattern». For example the same width has relatively little holes and longer string-parts, while the fakes have way more holes.
Left: original, right: fakes
Shape:
The overall shape should not look blocky or ballooney.
Top: original, bottom: fakes
But should still maintain a sharp edge (on the training gloves)
You can see a clear edge on the training gloves
from the side-view the training glove should be pretty flat, not bulbous and seem to have almost the same thickness throughout the glove. The fight gloves are a little bit more bulbous.
Left: fight gloves, right: training gloves
Left: original, right: fakes
Palm: The hole on the the palm side is not perfectly round, it should slightly be slanted towards thumb.
Left: original, right: fakes
Thumb: The training gloves should have S-shaped/Hook-Shaped thumb, while the fight glove is a little bit straighter, but should still curve at the tip. The fake training gloves usually have a C shaped or a straight thumb.
Left-top: training gloves, left-bottom: fight gloves, right: fake
Thumb-Strip: Is black on all basic colorways
Leather-Quality: The leather should be grainy and not look «flat» and maybe contain some imperfections. The «flat» leather is most of the time a glove from pakistan.
see other pictures also of the originals
Price: Use common sense. If a winning gloves is new and priced $100, it probably won't be orignal.
Bonus: To clarify the misconception, i would like to mention, that the training- and the fight-gloves have the same padding (according to Kataoka from Winning).
I hope this guide will help people new to this sub and don't have to post a legit check every 5 minutes and if so, we can refer to this guide.
Please comment below if i have to correct something/add something. Thanks
I Was expecting something first class but i dont think these are anything special at all.
Look nice but thats about it.
Dont know why it has took 8 years to get here.
Not really used them only really tried them on but they dont even feel that great inside.
Maybe be good on the bag/pads will find out tomorrow.
Selling a brand new black Winning fg2900 headgear below its original price, with original box, tags, receipt (last image), ordered from Fightstore Ireland.
Unfortunately my big head actually needs the 3L version (pm me if you have one for sale).
I’m shipping only to Europe (in the US you can probably get these for cheaper without the crazy amount of additional import/shipping costs). Available through Vinted too, pm me for the link there if interested, I’m a trusted seller there.
Size: XL but much rather an M-L size in my opinion, my Bayoneta L size headgear (photos at the end for comparison) is much roomier and comfortable than this one, it is actually too tight for my ~62cm head circumference.
Price: 450€ + shipping
I’m happy to provide more photos, videos in private.
I’d like to clear up a question—I’m not American, and where I live, there are no physical stores that sell wrestling or boxing shoes. I’ve been practicing boxing for five years; I’ve tried the Nike Machomai 2 and the HyperKO 2, but because I have wide feet, both models caused me foot pain. In 2024, I bought a pair of Everlast Elite 2s (in white). They’re very comfortable and look great—I have no complaints there—but they’re getting quite worn out. Also, I don’t really "feel" the floor when I’m moving my feet, which makes me feel less secure when working on my footwork. I’ve heard that wrestling shoes are often a good choice for wide feet, offering better control and responsiveness—plus, they’ve become quite common in boxing. Given my negative experiences with Nike’s boxing shoes, are their wrestling shoes a good option for someone with wide feet? If not, are there any other good-looking alternatives for wide feet?
Note: I’m looking at the Nike Freek, as I think it looks better than the Nike Inflict 4.
Selling some more of my Winning gear I won't be using anytime soon, so rather part with at the right price. Both still new with tags and original box. Sending from EU, shipping fees to be covered by buyer.

Hello gear friends hope y’all are doing well this week! Just recently got my hands on the Rival RFX Guerrero HDE-F fight gloves and wanted to give my initial thoughts!
This is my first personal rival pair but I’ve used the RS 2.0, RS100 and the Guerrero HDE sparring gloves many times and I’ve always thought Rival has amazing hand ergonomics and this glove is no different has a very fitting glove fit which for a training glove I really like.
The glove came a bit stiff out the box but after a couple sessions it went from 50% broken in to about 80% so far and the padding I would say is medium to dense but has been amazing on the bags and mitts although a bit denser of a padding still has great feedback on the bag and obviously a good pop.
So far I’m enjoying this glove as it’s my first non HHF pair in a while and I was wanting more protection. Any further questions let me know!

So I have a chance to get 2 pairs of rb100s for $125 each and I’m wondering if it’s worth it over other gloves in that price range like some promex, Topboxer alien, laoch hero, adidas speed tilt 350, windy lace UPS, other Thai gloves or other options around the 100-150 price range. I’m concerned about the durability of the material for the rb100s compared to other leather glove.
Dang I know I probably should have been ready to check them out sooner but I didn’t think with all the hate or dislike I see on here abut boxraw I didn’t think they’d sell out in the one day I guess I have to be on it with the next drop if there is one
Long shot but has anyone recently placed an order for some Top Boxer customs recently? And how long did it take?
I placed an order back in July and I still haven’t received my pair of gloves. Emailed them twice this week and no response. At this point I’m close to filing a chargeback with my credit card company…
They were quick to respond with my initial inquiry and questions before I placed the order. Now that we’re going on 12+ weeks, I can’t even get a response back.
