Bad Boy has been making fight gear since 1982, and its boxing gloves are one of the brand's quiet strengths — solid construction at a price that doesn't hurt. The range spans four models, each aimed at a different kind of training, so the right pick comes down to how you train and how hard you hit.
The four Bad Boy boxing glove models
Alpha — the entry point. A reliable all-round training glove for beginners and light bag work. If you're new to boxing or need a second pair for pads, this is the value pick.
Omega — the everyday workhorse. A step up in structure and foam density for regular bag sessions and mitt work. The glove most people land on.
Strike — built for competition and harder sparring, with the wrist support and padding density to match heavier rounds.
Pro Series Advanced — the top of the line. Multi-layer foam and a reinforced wrist for serious training volume.
Which weight should you choose?
As a rough guide: 10oz for pads and bags, 12–14oz for everyday training, and 14–16oz for sparring (heavier gloves protect your partner). Your body weight matters too — heavier fighters generally move up an ounce class. For a full breakdown, see our boxing glove size and weight guide.
The short answer
Just starting out? Go Alpha or Omega. Sparring and competing? Strike or Pro Series Advanced. Whatever you choose, Bad Boy gloves punch above their price point — browse the full range at our Bad Boy boxing gloves collection.
