amateur competition gloves

[bertolacylee]

I actually don't believe that amateur gloves should be used for training.

Over here Top Ten, Ergo, Adidas and Green hill are used as fight gloves.
Each of those has the tight velcro wrist support, that in my opinion would be detrimental to the wrist and thumb if used constantly in training.

Hurting my hands in the past was a common occurance. Since switching to Cleto's and everlasts I have no hand issues.

I used to think this too, but i go to a popular gym with a lot of pros and good AMs and i see a lot of people using amatuer gloves for training. I think it wouldnt be as detrimental if theyre lace up.

well i have used both lace up and hook and loop and to mee lace ups are much tighter around the wrist and offer much more protection. they seem to have longer cuffs too.

I too believe that the lace ups offer a more comfortable fit and pose less risk to the rist.

The amateur gloves remind me of a bubble on the fist, enlarginging the fist, but not protecting the wrist, allowing the fist to turn and twist, potentially causing injury..

this is a good point. On he description of the amateur gloves it says added room for wraps. Apparently they add too much.
