Thanks for the replies thus far, I been hitting the bag for quite a few years so i don't believe its my form ( i strike with first 2 knuckles, and tighten first upon impact, snapping punch with proper body form).
I think the 12oz R2C were just too small and not enough padding TBH. I'm 185lbs but thought I could get away with it, but I been smashing the heavy bag for years using 16oz , hitting as hard as I can, and I think my power (not saying I have alot or bragging lol) was way too much for 12 oz gloves relative to what my knuckles are conditioned for.
BTW, I got the SABAS SuperSoft gloves today $119.99 and they are simply on another Level of comfort and craftsmanship. They make my 79$ Venums, or 99$ Top King's look like 30$ EverLast gloves from WalMart.
The seem even better made the then the R2C (although as previously stated the R2C are 12oz so and I think that was the major issue), but the SABAS definitely contorts to the hand better as the R2C is really wide where the SABAS feels like a glove that was tailored to your hand like some Armani suit. Also, I have no knuckle pain at all hitting the heavy bag.
Really happy with these SABAS gloves and they are quite sexy, I'll see how they fair up in the next few months , but for now, I can definitely see why they are hyped up currently with WINNING, Reyes or Grant the value these things offer are amazing.
