Need new bag gloves, suggestions?

Just got the Fighting Sports TRiTech gloves. After using Everlast, Ringside IMF, Grant, and Title, I've determined that these are the best bag gloves I've ever owned. Try a pair.

 

i got the everlast boxing gloves but i used the adidas too and it wasnt half bad TBH

 

If it's just your knuckles, look into using sponges under your wraps, or buy the Winning gel pads. The problem I encounter with this stuff is that now I have a hard time getting my hand into a glove and it's so tight that my hands just hurt while I'm boxing. But no knuckle problems.

You mentioned IMF Techs not working, which are known for their padding. I think that if you're the kind of guy that hurts his knuckles (like me), a glove isn't gonna make the difference. The difference will be in the way you wrap your hands.

Or you could lay down the cash for some Winnings, they might be the only glove that'll help you out.

But if you're going to use sponges/pads, you might look for a glove with a big hand pocket. I know Title Gels have a very wide hand pocket, Reyes and Casanova are known for it as well.

 

What is your price ceiling

 

Try the sponge thing first. It makes a huge difference and I haven't hurt my knuckles in training since I started using them two years ago. Might be able to put off buying new gloves for a while and save some money.

 

Everyone knows this but knuckle problems can come from wearing inappropriate Ounce gloves for weight class. I'll be in the market soon, looking at maybe fighting sports or everlast. Just don't want to go too up market though.

 

Try using more wraps, I use two sets.

 

Not trying to be a butt-head, but you are getting sore using of IMF Tech bag gloves... I call BS. Or you are brand spanking new to Boxing. Or your form is horrible (but you didn't say wrists so I will go with the first two).

Ringside's IMF Tech (or the Fighting Sports) line is about the best you can get as far as knuckle protection goes for the "middle of the road" price range. Granted, the quality has slipped a bit so you might be experiencing "cheap foam", but I thought the quality issues were confined to the stitching. Wow man wow. If you are punching through Ringside foam you might need Winnings and to go pro. :good

How big are you?

How long have you been Boxing?

 

True, but IMF Techs pretty much nix that issue. They are a "heavy" 14 ozs for the bag gloves (which I assume is what he has by the title) and the sparring versions are the same or BIGGER.

I personally had to retire a pair of bag gloves I loved for being 12oz. Just not enough hand protection.

 

Some of the same things these guys posting these crazy "backyard Boxing" vids do? I tried to make the statement as "nice" as possible because I realized me calling BS was a bit suspect. I apologize if you took offense.

I missed the part where they said you had to actually Box to join the forum. :think

You do notice that nobody here really gave you a suggestion on gloves didn't you? You know why? IMF Techs are about the most padded and well made glove in the mid range available. Most Boxing bag gloves don't even come in 14oz and IMF Techs are known to actually weigh more. The one suggestion they did give? Winning knock offs.

I "assumed" you might have just not been familiar with the beginning ache that MANY guys new to Boxing ask about. Even then... I asked. When you think about, it makes sense to ask for clarification before giving random advice huh?

I took note. I also own a pair. I also know people who own pairs. I also own pairs of more expensive bag gloves. It is also well known throughout Boxing that IMF Tech's hold up through the worst conditions and "funk out" before the "wear out". You said they hurt your knuckles and you needed (better protecting) bag gloves. Period.

So first you don't want to be interrogated (for pertinent information) then you want to bring up a bunch of stuff you didn't say that could only be known by interrogation? Nice.

Yeah man. Anytime.

 

so..... if you owned the IMF Techs for awhile, were they always like this???? You seem to have got got work out of them, how about replacing them?

It would be different if you had them for a couple of months and your knuckles were getting sore.

Gotta be the wraps. Sore knuckles on Techs.... Do you tend to knock out your sparring partners?
