shouldn't wear 16oz on the bags whats the point?

 

Get a pair of 16oz sparring gloves, and try to quickly save up enough to get a pair of bag gloves. Go donate plasma twice in a week, bang 60 bucks right there, new pair of bag gloves.

Reason being that you need to break the sparring gloves in, but not so much that they stop being useful. A week on the bags should be way more than enough, and then get those other gloves.

For sparring, I like Lonsdale, Fighting, Ringside IMF, etc as mid-price gloves (60-80 bucks).

For bags, I've heard nothing but good things about Grant Campeon (they'll be the next ones I buy). Ringside IMF are good as well.

Why not? :huh

Doesn't it make more sense to use the same or larger size glove on the bag than you plan to use in a fight?

 

Ringside IMF Tech both sparring and bag gloves are amazing. They will probably "funk out" before they wear out. If money is the issue? Ringside is rock solid.

 

Ringside and Grant - my favorites.

 

everlast pro v training gloves

 

Why?

 

Wouldn't training with heavier gloves make your hands feel faster when you put on the lighter ones?

 

Yes they'd feelmfaster but they'd be slower

 

I have a pair of Ringside 14oz XL's that I use on the bag. They feel bigger, slower but more well padded than the 16oz Everlast I use for sparring.

I've used these for over 2 years now. Great knuckle padding, and they feel nice after you've broken them in. I bought them at about $55 but this is still a solid price.
