those are century and they arent worth a damn. they cost like 20, one of my family members bought me some similar ones for sparring when they didnt know what to get

[Hellbore]

I'm totally saving that picture though... that is the most awkward picture of boxing gloves I have ever seen Looks like a cartoon... Sorry, I just thought it was funny...

[Dizaster]

How much are they selling them for?

It's better to get quality equipment in the first place. Have a look on the everlast website or ringside.com or titleboxing website. They have good stuff and most of it has good recommendations.

If you buy some crappy gloves your hand will get sore easily and they'll feel uncomfortable & you'll end up being discouraged when it comes to training and you won't get the enjoyment from it that you should...

Are you planning on attending a gym?

[SmokinJoe90]

well the quality dont really matter if ur just gonna square off in ur yard, if its nothing serious, better to have octogon shaped gloves than to fist fight i guess..... dont bring those to the gym, im not sure they could even fit through the gym doors

Those gloves............are weird. I have never seen some shaped like that.

[SalTheButcher]

it all depends on what you want,
gloves that have less padding over the knuckles (punchers gloves) can seriously injure an opponent, and break your hand at the same time

gloves that focus thier padding over the knuckles (boxers gloves) will protect a fighters hands, however it will be harder to hurt your opponent as your knuckles will likeley not be felt through the gloves(guys like judah and mayweather prefer these)

there are also more generic gloves like everlast that are sort of a mix of the two.

reyes are the more well known punchers glove

winning are the well known boxers glove (commonly referred to as pillows)

[SalTheButcher]

there was some contreversey surrounding paqiao morrales over which glove to use, morrales wanted to protect his hands, while pacquiao wanted to unprotect morrales' face



paciao's promoter didnt want to loose the opportunity to fight morrales so he didnt push the issue
morrales won the dispute and the fight

I wouldnt say that.

the main fighters who use winning are because they have hand problems.

mayweather, morales, joppy, ayala are the only fighters that i have seen wear winning during a match.
