Hi 1Magine, well I actually have a couple pairs of gloves, and thai boxing gloves are very similar to boxing gloves but are more flexiable in opening your hands as opposed to boxing gloves are... I like using ProForce kickboxing gloves sometimes when boxing because I feel I have more wrist and kuff support with those gloves... the reason why, the Proforce kickboxing gloves are more supportive is because they are designed to perform a "spin fist punch"... they are slightly more padded in the area when your hand would connect after throwing a spin fist punch. I've read some different threads on this site and I think there is a guy called "Mattty" who may have better knowledge for you glove question. Cruiser
