MMA gloves vs Boxing gloves

[welsh_boxer]

The hissing sound you hear during a boxing match when a punch is thrown is the fighters breathing when they throw, not the air deflating out of the glove from the cushion. Every trained fighter is taught to breath when he punched so not to tire as fast. Thus the hiss hiss during punches. But also with the bigger glove, it is easier to block and deflect punches in defense.

You are so stupid. I am a competign amateur boxer and the 'hissing' noise you hear when we throw a punch is to avoid getting countered and winded when you have extended. If you throw a punch and your opponent slipped and caught you in the body you are much less likely to get winded if you exhale. THAT is why it's done. Where the hell do you get your info from?

bigger boxing glove causes more of an impact, the little glove hurts more.

End of thread.

Smaller area, same force = more impact. The smaller gloves hurt more, because they make more of an impact. Physics says so.

Also you can hit things like the orbital bone and dig 2 knuckles in there which is not possible with the big gloves.

The bigger gloves however do offer extra padding. In boxing that is much needed, because boxers actually do throw so hard, that they would possibly injure their hands throwing with smaller gloves. Franklin injured his hand and i doubt Franklin throws as hard as boxers in his weightclass do.

So they are really not protecting the head, they are protecting the hands with the bigger gloves. Imo ts is right about that.

When someone hits you with say a 500 pound punch the big gloves really won't do shit for added padding. You'll feel that shot for sure, hehe. Now with big gloves, the other boxer will keep those coming for a long time while smaller gloves would mean he propably breaks something sooner or later and slows down quite a bit. TS's right in that sense, but everyone at around 170 sparring with people their size that do not come from a boxing background will tell you otherwise, which isn't surprising considering they don't even come close to HW top 50 boxer power in their punches. Of course it's added padding and surface area taking from the impact. If someone doesn't have the power to knock you out or even down in his punches, then yeah big gloves will make it that much more unlikely.

So the do need padding for the hands, but also the fights would be over quicker with small gloves due to the defensive factor bigger gloves play. Becomes more of a chess match with the bigger gloves. TS had that right, too, I guess.

About the breathing there is a boxer in here, posted above me. Imo, he's right. I mean of course you breath so you don't get tired, but that's not the reason for the hiss sound. I could breath in hissing right, ahh whatever....

So to conclude:

Small gloves makes sense in mma, but it doesn't mean a 600+ pound punch like Tysons hook wouldn't severely hurt you and break some bones either way. TS seems to think Tyson would break his hand on the opponent and slow down and maybe he would, but how do you look by then?

One of his hooks is enough for almost anyone and without big gloves you can bet on a strike to slip through and hit on the chin, orbital bone or something. You think you won't hurt yourself if he can dig his knuckles in there with the small gloves? That's just stupid.

Now with bxing gloves he could do that in round 5, but with the small ones he will not throw that hard in round 5. Doesn't mean half a Tyson punch doesn't knock most guys at HW out cold anyway.

My aunt was dating Oliver McCall for quite sometime. You know him right? EX Heavyweight champ....KO Lenox Lewis....cried in the rematch. I guess it has more than one reason, but that don't make me stupid. But my point was made cause some think it is the glove making that hiss. But it also helps the cardio. Maybe your AMATEUR teacher left that part out.

Too many fuckin "prove the world wrong" jerks on this site.

Rather fight tyson with mma gloves, boxing gloves cause more long term damage to the brain i.e. better to get knocked out quick with mma gloves than get hit 50 times with boxing gloves (better for the health of your brain anyway)

lets not act like Tyson wouldnt knock you out quick with either gloves anywayz so thats irrelevant

They usually spar with 14 oz gloves. Like someone said in the post, they are padded and heavier to promote endurance in the arms. In the bouts, they use 10 oz gloves, which when the hands are taped, makes them hard as rocks. None of you who have not been hit with taped up 10 oz gloves, don't have a clue. For the uneducated dude that said he don't want to watch pillow fights, you are just that, uneducated.

I don't know the real numbers to an above question about how many KO per 100 fights, but remember in boxing, the bigger gloves are better for blocking and deflecting punches. Not so much glove only defense in MMA.

No no, you can't grapple with boxing gloves. But some people on here, including most of the posters of this thread, say MMA gloves "hurt" more than boxing gloves, and that is simply NOT TRUE!!! Feel the glove, MMA is harder, Tape the hand in the glove, boxing is harder. And yes, they are heavier thus slowing down the arm when punching, but the extra stiffness makes up for that 10 times. And it is real simple, if you don't agree, you have not been hit by both. Maybe one, but not both.

Ive been hit with both. Tell you what let me hit you with a haymaker wearing a ufc glove and the one with a 10oz glove. I guarantee the ufc glove will hurt more and probaly break your cheek bone. MMA fighters get there hands taped aswell you know?!

To the original poster, if you know how to punch correctly, as long as you dont hit the top of the head your hands should be just fine if a bit sore.

Do you throw 500+ pound punches? HW boxers do, so I guess different rules apply there.

10 oz > 4 oz

more weight

Any real fighter knows that mma gloves don't hurt more than boxing gloves

[FIGHTING TALK]

You are so stupid.

QFT

Obviously 4oz gloves are going to do more damage, cause more pain and are more likely to deliver a knockout punch than 10oz gloves.
Yes I have been hit hard with both, and being punched with a boxing glove is not nice, but being punched with MMA gloves is like being hit with a very lightly padded, leather covered brick.
A lightly padded but very real brick nonetheless.

Must feel about the same for one strike, but if anything the MMA glove does hurt more, because of the larger impact you get hit with. It's the same force on a smaller area with a little less padding, so it'll hurt more.

How many cheek bones have been broken in the UFC or Pide. And they throw plenty of haymakers. Just run my test hommie. Have someone hit you in the forehead with both gloves. The MMA glove will hurt in the spot you got hit. The boxing glove will give you a headache for the rest of the day by rattling your brain off of your skull.

Sure the smaller glove will damage the impact spot more cause of the concentrated area. You will have a higher chance of bone breakage such as eye orbitals and jaw bones if hit right. But the boxing glove will cover more area and instead of your orbital broken, you will have a missing molar and a black eye in one good punch. I guess both will require a doctors visit.

Folks, I'm just trying to dispel the myth that boxing gloves are pillows. I am a fan of both sports so I aint taking sides. Just trying to spread knowledge....yet some call a brotha names.

There are so many mongols in the HW forum, lol.

Obviously a 4oz glove is going to do more damage than a 10oz glove.
I cant think why a bigger glove would delivery a more powerful punch, it just isnt going to happen. More padding equals softer impact.

Think about boxing matches, how many times do you see 1 punch knockouts or 1st round knockouts or quick finishes? In MMA everytime a big punch lands the guy recieving it either gets knocked out or is in serious trouble. Much like in s street fight.
In boxing the majority of stoppages are the accumulative effect over many rounds.

You make good points. I misunderstood what you meant about "damage". MMA glove gives less surface area, so they cause more visual damage (like cuts) but boxing gloves are heavier, so they can cause more concussions.

Oh, and only fools think boxing gloves are pillows.

Okay then so explain to me why when I spar for 36 minutes in a morning session, and I dont mean light sparring, I dont have a headache at all, during the day, night or whatsoever.

Explain that.

Whereas if we wore MMA gloves somebody would be getting KTFO within 4 minutes, guaranteed.

Youre not a fighter, youre a dumb kid with some peculiar ideas that you are passing off as knowledge, lol. One word comes to mind, FRAUD!

Wrong.

Sorry, youre just wrong.

Since you spar a lot with both, what is it? Is it the smaller surface area? I admit, I haven't been hit in the face with an MMA glove (only a Boxing glove), so I am not 100% sure.

I have been reading a bunch of people mentioning the gloves the fighters use in MMA and boxing. Boxers usually use somewhere between 10-14 ounce gloves while the UFC fighters use 4 ounce gloves. I just wanted to clear one thing up real quick.....

A punch will hurt WAAAAY more if you got hit by a boxing glove than a MMA glove.

Fighters wear gloves to protect THEIR hands....not the opponents face. I would rather fight a guy bare fisted, and let me wear the gloves. 3 punches into the fight, if he landed good and I didn't go out, 1) he'd have broken some bone in his hand or 2) feel like he has broken some bone in his hand and will not swing as hard anymore.

The advantage of boxing gloves in NOT in the padding. The hissing sound you hear during a boxing match when a punch is thrown is the fighters breathing when they throw, not the air deflating out of the glove from the cushion. Every trained fighter is taught to breath when he punched so not to tire as fast. Thus the hiss hiss during punches. But also with the bigger glove, it is easier to block and deflect punches in defense.

Just a little info for the masses. Joe Rogan always seem to mention the "4 ounce baby gloves" during every show but he seem to always fail to mention the smaller the glove, the less powerful the impact. None of this applies to "right on the button" punches. A couch pillow can KO someone if hit "on the button". If you would like to try it out, get both types of gloves and let someone hit you in the forehead kinda light like with each. A small punch with a boxing glove will rattle you medulla ablongata.

Because of their added weight, heavier gloves are generally considered safer, since force in physics is a measure of mass times acceleration and a heavier glove takes longer to accelerate over short distances. As importantly, heavier gloves contain more padding. A blow to the head with a heavily padded glove is less likely to cause the sudden acceleration of the skull that causes much of the brain trauma associated with boxing injuries. Common weights for gloves in the United States are sixteen, twelve and eight ounces. Many athletes train with heavier gloves than they will use in competition, as a way to increase endurance.<---- From Wicki


Also, the larger the surface area the more spread out the impact. You lie down in 2 feet of snow you sink about an inch; you stand in 2ft of snow and you sink a foot. With smaller gloves overall force is more concentrated on the area of impact. That is bad for your temple.

you think you are smart, but you aren't.

600 post's in 2 months...and with post's like that I se how.........LAME.........to the origanal poster.....not true at all....youve never trained mma ,if you think that
