RIVAL Boxing RFX-Guerrero-V Bag Gloves, Multi-Layered Inner Foam Padding (HDEF), Premium Leather, Wrist Lock 2 System

One of the most power-transmitting gloves on the market today, this glove offers a great fit with a firm, solid feel. Endorsed by some of boxing's best, it has been carefully adapted for bag use and features our innovative Hook & Loop V-Strap for a secure fit. Using only the finest cowhide leather, the HDE-F version of our RFX-Guerrero-V Bag Glove is padded with a unique combination of layered foam, and laminated with a high-density EVA, giving them a stiff, firmer feel with the accent on power and hand protection. These gloves are designed specifically for bag and punch mitt use only. The layered foam padding used in the construction of these bag gloves are of a hard, high density nature not intended for sparring. Instead of remaining on the path of one dimensional adjustment, RIVAL invented the dual angle V-strap. Attaching to both the thumb side of the glove and the opposite side through a loop, the Wrist Lock 2 system ensures that both sides of a glove, from the thumb all the way down the cuff, are squeezed equally when securing the strap. This is tantamount to tape being placed over the cuff of a professional fight glove. RIVAL firmly believes that this system results in the closest replication possible of the comfort and stability of a fully laced glove, in a Hook & Loop glove. THE BEGINNING Founded in 2003 by veteran boxing trainer/cutman, Russ Anber, RIVAL entered the marketplace with a promise to “reinvent the industry” by implementing innovations and ideas that Russ had acquired over 25 years in the boxing game, including 13 years of experience in introducing and selling foreign boxing brands to the Canadian market. THE EVOLUTION RIVAL's recipe for success is characterized by the outstanding quality and durability of its products, and has been achieved without copying, stealing or infringing anyone's intellectual property (IP). Each top-of-the-line product RIVAL has produced since its launch in 2003 has been based on original ideas and unique, innovative designs. RIVAL IN THE RING PART 1 The list of fighters who have used Rival’s wide range of gloves, equipment and attire is stellar. Among those who have followed in the footsteps of former WBC World Light-Heavyweight Champion Jean Pascal – the first boxer to wear Rival gloves in a World Championship fight on HBO – have been countless other current and former world champions including (among others), Vasiliy Lomachenko, Eleider Beterbiev, and many more. RIVAL IN THE RING PART 2 Among the proudest landmarks in RIVAL's history was the Tony Bellew versus Isaac Chilemba WBC eliminator, which was the first time two professional boxers faced each other wearing complete RIVAL attire and RIVAL pro fight gloves on foreign soil. Another incredible night was Oleksandr Usyk versus Murat Gassiev with both boxers wearing RIVAL gloves as they fought for the undisputed cruiserweight championship of the world. ORIGINAL RIVAL Over the years, RIVAL’s reputation as a cutting edge, technologically-driven, design-oriented company has shaken up the boxing equipment world with many companies redesigning their line, their look and borrowing our innovations in an effort to emulate what RIVAL has achieved. It is a testament to the strength of the RIVAL family that many of the staff who began with the company back in 2003, are still in place today.
