Choosing the Right Boxing Gloves: Tips and Recommendations

[rabifaf]

Hi everyone,

I’m new to boxing and looking to buy my first pair of gloves. I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the options like sizes, weights, materials, and brands. I mostly plan to do bag work and sparring occasionally. How do I know which gloves will offer the best protection, comfort, and durability?

Are there specific features I should prioritize for beginners? Also, do certain gloves break in faster than others? Any personal recommendations or experiences with gloves in the $50 to $100 range would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Talking about just bag gloves. If you spar, you will need sparring gloves. I shop the sales at Title and Ringside and buy gloves when on sale for under $75. I sometimes buy them on Amazon. I read the reviews on the internet (some are from Sherdog) first, but I have not been disappointed. I train in a boxing gym 3 evenings a week, which is mostly padwork and maybe 5 minutes on the heavy bag. I train at home in the mornings, maybe 4 times a week, with about 10 minutes on the heavy bag. Therefore, I am not a heavy user plus I have two bag glove pairs for evening and two bag pair for morning. Never a problem with the funk smell. I never could understand that unless you are a pro or serious amateur boxer, is why people spend $$$ on bag gloves. There are others like Everest, Fairtax Rival and others but I think you get the best bang for your buck shopping sales on Title, Ringside, or Amazon unless you are a competitive fighter. Then get the best you can afford.

First rule is that if you train boxing or KB you should have 2 pairs of gloves : one for bagwork and another pair for sparring.

If you will use the same gloves for bagwork and sparring it will show about you that you are really poor and maybe need help or dumb or...( better not know what stuff guys might think about you... ).
