Advice on new gloves

[Gray Lion]

Well there is a world of new technology out there to give protection to your hands. But did you ever think about working on strength to your hands? Squeezing a tennis ball, slapping a leather bag filled with small rocks or sand daily, soaking your hands in salt brine or pickel juice, chopping wood, or using a shovel without gloves. A lot of these were techniques used over a hundred years ago to toughen the skin and give the hands strength. Now if the pain goes beyond the skin into the bone area, you might need a bone density test (depending on age and health). Some people have frail bones and are prone to injury in the hands more easily then others.

back in the day fighters trained in gloves that were about 4 or 6 ounces. i don't know when or why fighters started training in big foam gloves. you can't make a fist and when you hit a bag with big foam gloves your punches are popping and bouncing off the bag. your punches are supposed to sink into the bag.

Reyes 16 OZ trainers as a bare minimum if you're shopping for high end products. The other brands like Grant and Winning are more expensive, but on the same category as the Reyes gloves. Otherwise it doesn't really matter much as long as they are made out of real leather and have good wrist protection. I also like the Windy Thai brand lace-ups as well as a cheaper alternative.

By the way does any one have any information here about Pro-Mex and JC Pachecho gloves?

If you are looking for 16 Oz Gloves with really good padding then I would suggest Top Ten Superfight. The ones with the 2 velcro straps. Top Ten has a filling made from one piece of Bayfill padding that absorbs punches like no other material and stays in equal shape forever. They have been tested for up to 400k hits and the material still worked.

I have a pair of the Ringside Sparring Gloves and by far one of the best pairs i owned for the price. They are lace up but you can make them work. Dont confuse them with the training gloves, those suck, get the sparring glove.

The Everlast ones you shared i've owned and they ended up peeling on me about 6 months in of daily use.

Other gloves I heard good things about are the RDX and the Venum

Hand injuries declined by wide margins since better padded gloves are available. It's interesting to look at vintage photos of boxers from a century ago and observe their knuckles. Joe Lewis' two punching knuckles look like a Rhino's horn rather than a hand.
