Yes, when you hit the bag it does spin (every heavy bag is going to spin unless you use a 4 point hanging system) and it will spin and eventually untighten the bolt at the top no matter how much you tighten it even with the locking washer in place.Period.
Solution: Buy a locking nut (it has nylon at the top that locks it in place) and use two nuts (the supplied one and the locking one) plus the locking washer.
Details: The supplied nut goes on first but don't thread it all the way down to the bracket.Leave some space for the thing to spin freely.Next, put on the locking washer supplied.Next, put on the locking nut and tighten all 3 together leaving space for the assembly to spin.
This will never come loose on it's own if the nuts are tightened properly since the space left means that there is no friction with the bracket.
Thanks to those mentioning the issue with the threads on the cross bolt tearing through the hook.I'm going to find another bolt that works or add a sleeve to the supplied bolt.
This hanger is fine (sturdy) but only giving it 3 stars since the hardware they supplied is not that well thought out.They should have supplied a metal sleeve for the cross bolt and the additional locking nut.

About Everlast The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name,
Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did.
Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world's heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950's and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family's remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000.
Everlast men's and women's apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future.

Everything was great with this product - my son was so excited! He takes them everywhere with him!
These gloves and jump rope were exactly what I was hoping for. I got them mainly for the gloves, and I use them when I play a Wii cardio boxing game. The velcro is strong and the gloves do not move around on your hand when you punch. I was worried the jump rope might not fit me, as a length was not given, however I was pleased to discover that it was the perfect size for my height (I am 5'6").
I give that to my boyfriend for our anniversary and he so happy he like boxing and that his dream
I bought these for my son for practice at the gym and he loves them a lot.He says they are very comfortable, hold up quite well, and have great support.Thanks!
I'm looking for three pairs of bag gloves for me and my children and these looked promising but I have no idea how to make this purchase since there is no indication of the size of the gloves let alone if there other sizes available.Will look elsewhere....HINT:Sizes please!
The gloves came in a timely fashion.I was also suprised at the price.I searched around and couldn't find real leather gloves at this price. They are usually 60 and up.The gloves are high quality as well.I highly recommend them.
The straps are of good quality and perform as intended. The only cons is the funny tobacco smell after use (I have not washed them yet, may be that's the problem:)
When the Everlast Boxing Glove Keyring arrived, it looked like it had been run over by a truck.It was horrible.And, now, I can't even get a response from Title Boxing customer service as to what they are going to do--send me a new one, reimbursement, etc.I will never order from Title Boxing again.They're a joke.
The perfect prize for the winner of a Rock 'em Sock 'em single elimination tournament to be held at a party we are hosting - "The Phantastic Philadelphia Party".
I've been using these gloves for 3 years now and I had to buy a new pair as they were starting to be ripped off between the fingers.
She needed a pair of gloves for kickboxing classes and these drew my attention... She's happy with her gift and use them consistently for her classes. She tells me that they are comfortable and beautiful.
Cheaply made, with little padding and no wrist support.I wear gel gloves under these.As soon as I can afford a better pair of bag gloves, I am trading up.These are not worth the money.
I ordered these gloves for my 3 year old son and he absolutely adores them. It's been over a month and not a single day has gone by when he hasn't worn his gloves. They are adjustable which is great for tiny hands, but also perfect for his older friends. I also brought a punching bag and he gets a great workout every day. Well made and attractive.
These are really great gloves.I use them at least twice a week, sometimes three times a week.They are really comfortable, easy to get on and off and have just enough padding.A few other people in my kickboxing class also have these gloves and one of the ladies has been using her gloves for at least a year.If you are into kickboxing and are looking for a good pair of gloves, these are GREAT.
I originally bought an MMA style glove, which didn't have enough padding for the intensity of the kickboxing class I was taking.I returned them and bought these...so much better!They are fully padded, but with a different type of foam than the traditional Everlast Training gloves.It allows more shock absorption than the traditional, and has more wrist support which helped me to keep my wrist in proper position.I bought the women's size small/medium, and they fit great (I'm 5'4" 130lbs).The only reason I gave it a 4 is because I wish they were available in a color other than pink in women's sizes.
Great product for the money.I bought them for a 4 year old boy.
I too recieved this bag in a box semi-beaten up, but then again an 80 pound item in a lightweight cardboard box is bound to cause a little box damage. And no there was no interior protective bag, and my chain pack was tied with pink ribbon. 
Great headgear for what you pay (especially when they are on sale). These will work for beginners, and for more advanced boxers who want to spar half-speed. I would not let anyone wear these who was going to take serious punches. Imagine an inch of thick-cell foam, and that is what you get. Velcro neck strap and velcro circumference adjuster ensure a tight fit.
Mitts no good tore up in two weeks, inside came out. very displeased
Yes, it's a decent speed rope for the money and yes, it's extremely frustrating to adjust.For me, the problem wasn't so much in getting the metal cap off (easily done with a simple, sturdy flathead screwdriver pinned in the center of the tab) nor was it in actually adjusting the length of the rope.The problem was in getting the tab back in the handle.The cylindrical metal tab has to be snug in the handle lest it fly off during your excercise, but OH MYYY!!!, getting it back in requires an incredible and equal amount of pressure on all sides at the same time.I spent almost an hour before I finally got lucky and was able to push it back in.Good luck!!
i was sent one used and one new glove so i returned them.they are not as heavy duty as the others out there.
God gloves that have lasted through many bouts and still look great. However the inside is a little small for the average hand.
I ordered these gloves in tandem with a Heavy Bag for my father on Father's Day.He's had difficulty staying in shape and working out with different fitness programs I've designed for him.The Heavy Bag is right up his alley, and with the gloves he can work out longer and more intensely and get a real cardiovascular experience while he relieves some stress.I'm not sure whether this is an endorsement for the gloves or the bag, but he really seems to enjoy the fit, fabric, and force with which he can punch.
These gloves are the best bag gloves I've used, and they are good for both bagwork and some light sparring.
I bought these gloves for a gift and after a while I asked the girl who received them; these were her comments:
I have been practicing mixed martial arts for four years,and I have gone through all of the major glove brands. In my opinion, Everlast has always provided gloves that provided the most effective wrist support, which means less twisted wrists, especially for beginners. Everything else is well done, but not exceptional - it's comfortable, and provides durable padding, although I myself have only used the 16 oz. version
I purchased these exact gloves .... 3 (1 hour classes) uses later the seem blewout!I took them back to the sporting goods store I bought them for an exchange, went back to the section, removed another pair from the box, tugged in the area I had issues with and SURE ENOUGH .... APART CAME THE SEAM!
I ordered this product the first week of December; it did not get here until 2 days before Christmas; the boys have really enjoyed beating the hell out of each other, but I sure wished that they could have gotten here a LOT SOONER!! Great gloves!! L.P.
