Wal-Mart $19.99 boxing gloves?

Thanks... Looks like there's one coming up tomorrow on espn2! Carlos Quintana and Francisco Campos... at the Playboy Mansion? hahaha... how cool...

Also on Friday Night Fights they were making a big deal about CHRISTY MARTIN VS. LUCIA RIJKER!! Why is this a huge deal? Are they the top women fighters or something? Also they showed Layla Ali messing up Christy Martin and being really cocky about it.

They also showed how Martin and Rijker got in a bare-fisted brawl.

Is it just me or is women's boxing more drama and mean-spirited than men's boxing? Kinda seems odd... Especially some of the stuff Layla Ali said seemed unsportsmanlike (or unsportswomanlike?) and when she knocked Martin down she KICKED her??? WTF?

Crazy hijinks in women's boxing...

BTW I liked the little short white lady with curly hair who is a prison guard or something, I can't remember her name, she beat a taller girl with longer reach who was favored to win... She cracked me up when she capered around the ring at the end of the fight when she won... She made the taller girl look stupid during the fight too...

well everyone thinks that ali is the best because of her dad. she is one of the best female boxers yes. but honestly she still cant fight and would get torched by a lady named Ann Wolfe.

anyways Ali did beat Martin.. who is well past her prime and moved up in weight 20 pounds to fight ali.

martin and rijker would have been popular with most boxing fans 7-8 years ago because they were the best. It will probably sell more now because of the card called Million Dollar Lady and a lot of movie fans and people who have gotten into womens boxing because of it) will watch it.

rijker is the most talented and skilled female fighter i have ever seen. martin is probably considered the best bec ause of her accomplishments and she brought a lot of recognition to the sport.

my prediction is rijker will win, but really no boxing fans are interested in that. but a lot will buy the card because of Jorge Arce.

i noticed everyone was posting pages of gloves and crap, i was wonderin what everyone thinks about these

I'm just a noob but since nobody is answering your glove question, here's my 2 cents... If that's the best training glove you can afford, buy it, because come on, be honest guys, that glove will work fine for training (which is what it says it is for). I guarantee it will work better than not having any gloves, which may be your only other option if you are poor :D Plus it's a helluva lot better than the crappy $19 gloves I bought, I can tell just by looking at it. Just don't forget someone is gonna have to lace them up for you if you buy those... That's why I like velcro, because I'm a sad lonely guy who has to train alone sometimes :'( :'(

well I would say if thats all you can afford there fine. but for only 20 more you can buy the same gloves i suggested for hellbore and be set for sure.

also, you can lace the gloves upu and then put your hand in them. they will fit, because hellbore in case you dont know they are designed so that your hand will fit with tape and gauze on it.

u can find cheeper gloves on ebay some are like 1 dollar no reserve

its ok to try to help, but you dont much about gloves because you started a topic for advice on gloves

my point of you being an idiot - do you really think $1 gloves would be ok for using during a match?

dont make me look like i am bullying you when you came on here with the expert attitude half the time and a admitted beginner the other 1/2

Magnum's not a bully, he was really polite when I asked some kind of stupid questions... In fact it seemed like he was going out of his way to not make fun of me when he easily could have... I think the problem is you Turdbird.

One thing I have noticed in lots of hobbies and sports is that when you are new it works better to put away your pride and be humble because chances are most people you are talking to probably know more than you, so it's best not to act like you're a know it all when you're just a beginner... It's easier to get help that way...
