Do these bag gloves also have better knuckle protection than sparring gloves?TS- this is tru for all bag glvoes .... thats why they're bag gloves and cheaper than sparing gloves.

My Fairtex sparring gloves cost 30 less than my Fairtex bgv9’s tbh.
......slightly off topic but my gym closed and been trying new places a couple have had sparing where people (beginners) have no head guards. This basically means I need to be extra careful throwing headshots ( I always pull them anyway) but they think they can go full tilt on me.
At my old gym a guy always used to spar in a pair of really worn 14oz gloves, he might as well have been wearing MMA gloves.
Getting marked up is nature of the game. Some of the worst black eyes I’ve ever had I got while wearing one. There’s no shame in a headgear.@Woldog and @Championstuff that's good to know thanks.....it was mandatory at the old gym. I would wear one as need to avoid a marked face for work but maybe I shouldn't take it extra easy on those without one I guess I just worry about marking someone up
no shame in headgear but remember headgear was first introduced into the sport to avoid cuts, not bruises, black eyes, or broken noses. @Woldog I hope the headgear helps, but damn if you're feeling headaches at all from sparring, just stop. At least take a big break.
guy I sparred with from Europe said none of them wear headgear in sparring. makes sense, because they don't seem to be into the inside game at all there (at least the amateurs).
it's almost impossible to fight inside like in the earlier decades since gloves don't allow you to open your hand to parry, hold, grab - for better or for worse.
