I have a pair of Venum hammer in gold color 18oz. I really like the pop and feedback of the glove. It is covered by a layer of EVA on the top of the glove, which makes it ideal for heavy bag and mitt work, but never use it for sparring. My only complain is thumb trim, which press my thumb a lot and cause numb. I have to use a cloth to loose it. The craftsmanship is pretty as well, but the lining is a little bit normal. I prefer the lining of Venum giant 3.0 especially the small piece of leather on cuff. Overall the craftsmanship is good. I haven’t tried the loma edition, but for Feedback and protection on bag. It is my favorite one, but consider the thumb and inside lining I still prefer my rival rb10. I bought the gloves with 50% off. I do agree the Loma one is pricy.
