Hello to All!

Wow!!!! That looks absolutely horrible!!!! A lot of people say that Ringside aren't what they used to be. This kinda solidifies their statements.

I had use the IMF Ringside gloves before and it's padding was kind of "broken" where you're bend the fingers into the fist, through half of a year.

Yeah I've seen quite a few broken IMF's from them. Never used to be that way.

Did you use any leather conditioner on them ? Looks like the damage area is right where the gloves would rest against the face while sparring. Just wondering.

the leather was ripped off over where the fingers were at? Does he know how to punch with his knuckles :icon_chee

Oh really? I wonder what has changed... Ringside IMFs always used to be a top quality gloves. These I wouldn't even rate 7/10 considering the cost.

Yeah it looks odd.

By the way, good job on review sugarD. In case you didn't know there is a special thread for Gear & Equipment Reviews: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f67/ it's better if we keep all the review there.

I've seen a lot with bubbling/cracking padding after no time at all. Then I've seen some of the newer stuff with no problems at all. They are becoming hit or miss. Kinda like Everlast.

If I am right, these gloves have layered foam instead of IMF.

They are layered. Quad layered i think.

Thanks. I was pretty sure of it but did not know it it was anither fancy word for another type of IMF lol. Usualy Ringside = IMF.

I am tempted to try them.

Really? It would be interesting to see if yours become zombified after awhile.

Thats the only part holding me off of them lol. They are like 67$ on Amazon.ca, but they look like an older model...which could be good...

Thank You for your attention again my friends!
The gloves used 3 times per week (about 8-10 rounds), the gym is "wet" enough- yes, but it takes 15 minutes to get home and then I'm always take my gloves (any gloves from training) to higher place at my home to lay it on the front side (logo side), when the gloves get dry, I'm using "glove dogs" like these: http://store.titleboxing.com/glovedogs.html
I'm not using any oils or special leather conditioners, just drying with the natural way.
About the "punching with knuckles", yes I understand, many people could say that but even it could be, is it possible to damage gloves like that through the half of a year? Be sure, I'm watching for training procces, because I have not so much students and they do they punches as it should to be.

I can show my own IMF after half of year using, video or pictures - as You wish and describe the "weak" side of these gloves. It is OK.

Yes these gloves is Quad Layer: http://www.ringside.com/ringside/ringside-safety-sparring-boxing-gloves-1.html

I took them after I was disappointed with IMF gloves, and thinked that these are better - yes it is!!!))) These gloves worked through the "whole" year against of the IMF!!!

Weird. My gym has a few pairs of the Ringside Quad Layers in 20 ounce at my gym and they've held up nicely

:icon_chee:icon_chee:icon_chee may be it was "terroristic act for Ukraine" :icon_twis to send these gloves!

 

[sugarD]

Talking serious, I have another two guys with these gloves and it is OK, gloves doing they job perfect. The only thing that they are have "novice" skill and have traning from time to time.
