All Ringside/Combat Sports Gear Questions Post Here

March 1st is the date in our system. We have a similar glove through Combat Sports HBG14. I have that one in stock now.

I really like Ringside gloves, but I've always thought them to be a little wide. What is Ringside's most compact sparring glove? For example, something similar to a Top Ten Superfight or a Gorilla Fight Gear Apeman. Thanks!

Thanks for the question Dan, those two gloves you referenced are both European "bubble" style gloves. We do not manufacture this type of model. My recommendation to you, looking for a narrower glove, would be to size down with one of our numerous IMF training gloves. The gloves will be lighter and tighter, but with the protection of our IMFs, your hands and and your partners face will be thankful.

Thanks for the reply Nate!
My thoughts exactly; I went down from 16s to 14s and I did see a reduction in size, but I was hoping to go even narrower.

In your opinion which one is narrower, the newer Pro Style IMF sparring gloves or the regular IMF sparring gloves or would you say they are the same?

No problem Dan, the (PROMFTGE) Pro Style IMF Sparring glove is narrower than our Regular (MFTGE) IMF by about 10%.

I have 2 questions.
1. Are the CSI IMF Tech sparring gloves and Ringside Pro style IMF training gloves (velcro) any different? They look same from the stock photos but different price.
2. Out of Ringside Pro style IMF training gloves, old IMF training gloves and IMF pro fight gloves, which are most comfortable and durable gloves for heavy bag work?

the newer IMF feels like it protect my hands more.

The CSI sparring gloves have the 2nd tier molded foam, the Ringside have the first tier foam.

also, the CSI gloves have slightly less padding over the knuckles whereas the Ringside have the full 2.5 inches of the knuckle padding.
