well I got my order in from ringside today(Ringside IMF, and the internationals) and took them train with me
to start off the blue internationals, wow... these gloves feel great they have a nice fit to them not too snug, but just right the leather feels really good very pliable as is the foam true sparring gloves imo. these gloves have technically the same dimensions of the imf's they're not as big as some people made them out to be. These gloves felt real good when sparring and no one complained i did a total of seven rounds four of which I did with the internationals.
Onto the Imf's these gloves i was a bit disappointed on how they felt right out of the box very stiff gloves and the leathers quality doesn't seem to be on par with the intern.'s, and they felt to be very snug, for a while well after just a few rounds of sparring. i did 3 rounds of sparring with these gloves at first some guy was like "dude those are really stiff" this was before we sparred, but that soon changed the padding does a real good job of dissipating force and i found myself not being able to hurt him or for that matter back him off these glove do on the other hand feel more balanced than the internationals. I also noticed that the imf's don't have as much padding as the internationals another misconception i was left with after reading some reviews
I should add though that some one at my gym had the imf's and they felt really good I guess it is just a matter of breaking them in; he did state that he had a hell of a time breaking them in though
I will update it after some more training and after I get a hold of a camera
