Sparring Gloves

Dumb & kinda pus$y @ss question here folks.

I know headgear and vaseline protects fighter.

But Sparring gloves that doesn't inflict facial laceration...Are there any such things?

I wanna use 'em for good ole fashion backyard fights with my brothers and friends before the big PPV fights. I just don't wanna rush anyone to the hospital and have them stitched up.

Not that I support back yard fighting or tolerate the usage of professional gear in said events.

But....You have to go for 16oz gloves at the minimum. 14oz may be acceptable, but you'll still have visible bruising. I'd suggest you get the velcro gloves too as lace up gloves can cause cuts, when you're just slipping them on and not taping them up.

I'd say get some good head gear.. Although it might take away from the 'authenticity' of your pro fight in the backyard, you can still have fun and all the tactics are still involved...
Try not to go any lower than 16oz to at least make them a little more 'pillowy' if you can call boxing gloves that..
I suppose maybe different material gloves could have different affects when they hit your skin, but I doubt any gloves will advertise that they are better or worse than other gloves at "cutting your opponents face".. You could try to look up and see if anyone has done a study, but generally all pro fights are proper leather gloves anyway so I doubt you'll find any sort of study...

If your backyard fights are getting to the point of cutting peoples eye's and shit, then you should save that type of thing for the ring... Getting a broken bloody nose would ruin just about any PPV superfight for me...
I'm really not a fan of any sort of backyard fighting or things like that.. I've always been 100% with Donny on that whole subject... You can have a bit of fun with your friends but as soon as your on a forum asking which gloves are less likely to damage your buddies face, then it's eventually probably going to end in tears for someone..

But to each their own,,, and I know people who totally get off on backyard fighting.. Just not for me..

What ever happened to warming up for a big fight with a few beers and a pizza?

I do a lot of "backyard"fighting with my freind,mind you we have never stepped foot in the boxing gym but we use big 18oz everlast gloves and it's a good laugh no chance your gonna get cut unless your really going toe to toe.

You know as an afterthought, I've been competitively amateur boxing since I was 11 or 12 years old and I've opnly ever suffered one cut as a result of a clash of heads, so headgear may work well in thatrespect
