Why are pro boxers never using speedbag-gloves on the speedbag?

    I come across these specialized gloves often when looking on the web for gloves, yet in videos of pro's working the speedbag they never use them. Most of the time they just use handwraps.

    Does someone know why this is?

    No need, speedballs are light. Minimal damage to hands.

    Using gloves can be more awkward regarding rthym and also in some ways easier, eg not missing the ball.

    What i found when using them.........as little as possible.
