    just returned rival pro-spar as there was too much spare room and couldn't make tight fist, any advice for a velcro, leather snug fitting 16 ouncer that doesnt cost a fortune?
    Cheers!!

    we have 2 types in my gym, black everlasts which are really roomy but we also have these yellow ones made by daz box which are very good indeed.

    avoid any of that crap sports direct sell.

    good luck!

    are the everlasts the protex ones, just they are so cheap i thought they might not let me use them to spar if they are not good quality enough?

    They are punchers gloves. Not unless you want to break you're hand, lol.

    Each to their own mate.

    I use Ringside for sparring which are good. I'd agree with Sonny on the Reyes too - They're great gloves, but if you're not using them regularly they take an age to wear the leather in and get them comfortable.
