    Hi...I'm hoping someone can help? I livin the UK and want to buy a pair of Grant Professional Super Power Bag Gloves, the problem is I can't seem to find a stockist in the UK? has anyone in the UK succesfully ordered a pair.....if so where?

    I currently have a pair of Cleto Reyes Velcro Sparing gloves, which I use for sparing and bag work.......I'm thinking it would be better to keep these for sparing and use the Grant bag gloves for bag work......what do you think??

    Although I am of no help to you finding gloves in your location, I do suggest that you have a pair for bag work and a pair for sparring

    the sparing gloves are 16oz, I'm 613" and weigh 14 1/2 st.....all the bag loves I've used offer no where near the same protection. Could you advise of a good bag glove?

    get the 9 or 8 oz gloves. Which ever fits the hand by its size. Don't get gloves that are bigger than you're hand because if you are then just get soccom boppers.

    try to order some on the internet. www.dickssportinggoods.com or www.boxingdepot.com they have things that i'm pretty sure will ship to u out there. bag gloves of course won't have as much padding as boxing/sparring gloves if that's what u were expecting. but like someone else suggested, get a pair of lower sized gloves. i use a pair of 10oz. boxing gloves on my bag or even a pair of mixed martial arts gloves that i have too
