The Cleto Reyes Lace Up Sparring Gloves represent the standard by which serious sparring gloves are measured. Built in Mexico using top-quality leather and subjected to rigorous quality control, these gloves deliver the precise fit and reliable protection that dedicated boxers demand. Available from 12oz through 18oz, the lace-up closure creates a locked, customised fit around the wrist that hook-and-loop simply cannot replicate — making them the choice for structured gym sessions and technical sparring.
Construction & Materials
Every pair is constructed from top-quality genuine leather, selected for its durability and resistance to surface wear across extended training cycles. The attached thumb design is built into the glove structure to reduce the risk of thumb and eye injuries during sparring — a safety detail that reflects Cleto Reyes' professional fight heritage. The traditional lace-up closure system wraps the wrist securely, eliminating movement and providing a snug, tailored fit. Rigorous quality control measures are applied throughout manufacturing, ensuring consistent padding distribution and long-lasting structural integrity.
Who Is This For?
These gloves suit intermediate to advanced boxers who train with a partner and prioritise wrist support and protection over convenience. If you spar regularly at club level or compete in amateur boxing, the lace-up system gives you a fit that holds through hard rounds. The 12oz option suits lighter or more experienced technical sparrers, while 16oz and 18oz sizes provide greater protection for heavier sparring partners or heavier weight classes. A training partner or coach is needed to lace them up, so these are best suited to structured gym environments rather than solo pad sessions.

The Rival RS100 Professional Sparring Gloves are handcrafted from Rival's Super Rich Microfibre — a material developed to withstand the repetitive impact of regular sparring without cracking or degrading. As one of Rival's most recognised sparring gloves, the RS100 combines Ergonomic True-Fist Construction with layered foam padding to protect both your hands and your training partner. It is the kind of glove serious boxers return to when they need reliability in the ring.
Construction & Materials
The RS100 is built around Rival's Super Rich Microfibre shell, which resists surface wear across extended training cycles. Inside, layered foam padding provides structured impact absorption — firm enough to disperse heavy shots, compliant enough for controlled technical sparring. A soft foamy cloth lining sits against the hand, with a breathable part-mesh palm that improves ventilation during long rounds. The Ergonomic True-Fist Construction positions the hand in a natural closed-fist shape, reducing strain on the knuckles and wrist during extended sessions. The hook-and-loop velcro closure delivers a wide, adjustable wrist wrap.
Who Is This For?
The RS100 suits intermediate to advanced boxers who spar regularly and need a glove that holds its shape session after session. It works across a wide weight range — the sizing system accounts for body weight rather than just glove oz, making it particularly useful for fighters looking to match glove size to their frame. Whether you are a club boxer building sparring volume or a competitive amateur logging serious ring time, the RS100 provides the padding depth and construction quality that serious sparring demands. Fighters who have outgrown entry-level gloves will find this a natural step up.

Why Choose Lace Up Boxing Gloves
Lace up boxing gloves are designed for fighters who prioritise fit, stability and wrist support. Unlike velcro gloves, laced boxing gloves allow you to tighten the glove evenly across the wrist and forearm, creating a secure, customised fit that stays consistent throughout training or competition.
This level of support makes lace up boxing gloves the preferred choice for professional fighters and serious amateurs. Whether you are sparring, working pads or preparing for a fight, the locked-in feel helps keep your punches aligned and reduces the risk of wrist injury during high-intensity sessions.

Weight and Fit
Choosing the right weight depends on how you train. Lace up boxing gloves in 12oz are commonly used for pad work and lighter training, while 14oz offers a versatile option for mixed sessions. For sparring, 16oz lace up gloves provide the additional padding needed to protect both you and your partner.
Fit is critical with lace up gloves. A properly fitted glove should feel snug with hand wraps on, with no movement inside the glove. The lacing system allows you to fine-tune the fit across the wrist, giving a more secure and stable feel than standard closures. For detailed sizing guidance, see our boxing gloves size guide.
Lace-Up vs Velcro Gloves
The key difference between lace up and velcro boxing gloves is how they secure the wrist. Lace-up gloves provide a tighter, more customised fit, distributing pressure evenly and offering superior support during heavy training or competition.
Velcro gloves are more convenient, allowing you to put them on and remove them without assistance. Many fighters use velcro gloves for general training and lace up gloves for sparring or fight preparation. Compare velcro boxing gloves to see which option suits your training setup.
Material and Construction
High-quality lace up boxing gloves are typically made from full-grain leather, offering durability and a glove that moulds to your hand over time. Reinforced stitching and multi-layer foam padding ensure the gloves maintain their shape and protective qualities through repeated use.
A well-constructed pair of lace boxing gloves provides consistent performance, helping you train with confidence while protecting your hands during high-output sessions.
Why Lace Up Gloves Are Used in Competition
Lace up boxing gloves are the standard choice for professional fights and many amateur bouts because of their superior fit and wrist support. The secure lacing system ensures the glove stays locked in place, allowing fighters to focus on technique and performance without distraction.
Training in lace up gloves helps create consistency between your gym sessions and fight conditions. If you are preparing for competition, investing in a quality pair of lace up boxing gloves is essential.
