Advice on new gloves

[0james0]

My current gloves served their purpose, 16oz standard bottom of the range Lonsdale gloves. Now things are getting more serious and my hands are getting more battered, it's time for me to invest in some new gloves.

They will be mostly for bags, pads and sparring, so need to be multi purpose.

It turns out that after working in an office for years, my hands are pretty weak and shit. They get hurt easy, especially now I'm punching correctly and harder, same for my wrist, it's fine now, but gets injured easily, so hand protection is my priority.

These are currently top of my list, the 14oz versions, they are leather and seem to give decent protection. I've tried on the 16oz versions, but they were massive, just too big and heavy. I'm hoping the smaller ones will be a but easier to work with.

I would go to a store a try a few out, hard to order online, better try them yourself. everlast works perfect for me but i know other people who struggle with them, doesn't fit and very uncomfterble, its different to every person. so my tips is to go to a store and try a few out, just to get a feel for them.

Yeah that's a good idea, the store did say I can get them delivered there and then try them on, the downside is that for each pair I want to try, I need to pay for them to get them delivered to the shop! The selection in the shop was only the bottom end cheap and nasty stuff.

I've heard the slight bend in the wrist to glove part causes some issues, but I've also heard people say it helps them turn their shots in, so actually helped.

Where is that then mate ? Not a lot of any sports shops to choose from down here anymore. Did you go to the white collar boxing charity event at the Guildhall on Saturday ?

Sports direct that was from @Greenbeanz, but like you say, there is a choice between them and..... er..... tesco?

I couldn't go as had other stuff on, heard it was a decent night. I'll be going to the next EFS show end of August as know loads of the fighters, can get VIP tickets if you wanted to come and avoid the riff raff!
