Built for punchers. The Fairtex BGV9 Mexican-style boxing gloves deliver that crisp, knuckle-forward feel heavy hitters love, without sacrificing protection. A compact fist profile, long supportive cuff, and multi-layer high-density foam combine to absorb impact and keep your hands and wrists feeling solid on hard bag and pad sessions.

Why you’ll love them

• Puncher’s profile: Compact “Mexican style” shape with focused knuckle padding for a satisfying pop on bags and pads.

• Serious wrist support: Extended cuff and firm wrist strap lock you in for confident power shots.

• Durable, gym-proof build: Premium genuine leather, reinforced stitching, and an attached (locked) thumb for safety.

• Stay-dry comfort: Water-repellent nylon lining helps keep the foam from soaking up sweat and maintains glove structure and weight over time.

• Handmade in Thailand: Authentic Fairtex craftsmanship trusted worldwide.

Best for

• Boxing-focused training, heavy bag work, and pads.

• Muay Thai athletes who prefer a boxing-style glove with a denser feel.

• Sparring is possible at 14–16oz where gym rules allow, but many athletes prefer softer-feeling models (e.g., BGV1/BGV14) for dedicated sparring.

Fit & feel

• Snug/compact hand compartment with a secure wrist wrap.

• Break-in: 2–5 sessions for most athletes.
