Keep the same gloves. Take points away for eye pokes, no exceptions. They'll stop.
This is just my opinion but I believe this would be the best glove design to prevent eye pokes as well as allowing for effective use of grappling, thoughts?
I love all the posts about those gloves being stupid in the first 5 pages. Those gloves are basically the striking-centric gloves tons of guys use when they don't want to deal with trying to grapple with boxing gloves but do want to focus on striking more with some more padding.
Am I arguing they're perfect for competition? No
Am I saying they are a valid option and not retarded from first hand experience? yes
After becoming the victim of an eye poke, the fighter will be awarded one unguarded groin strike, from behind.

Sounds fair and would be more of a deterrent than losing points.
Would you need something different for the girls?
