Well listen, if you ask a Pro Ice hockey player(NHL), what is the most important piece of ice hockey equipment to you... they will ALL say "good quality ice skates"...so if you ask me about cheap boxing gloves, I don't recommend a cheap pair of boxing gloves because you could hurt your hands or wrist... as a boxer I think my gloves are the #1 most important piece of equipment if I'm boxing... rememeber that old say..."you get what you paid for"... sometimes it doesn't hurt to spend a couple extra bucks to get a decent pair of gloves.
