I have two pair of Everlast Velcro 12 oz gloves that I use to box with my friends/enemies/other. And they work Great! I got them at a sporting good store for 25 bucks a pair on sale. So I consider them to be good gloves. I have also used century gloves and crappy lace up flea market ones. The Century black ones, also 12oz were good and probably equal to my Everlast ones, except they were elastic. Any way Everlast is a good brand IMO.
