heres a little background.
I have been training for a little over a year. I train mostly striking. I do lots and lots of heavy bag work. When i first started i stopped by Modells Sporting Goods here in NY and picked up some bag gloves for $30. They are weighted but are pretty thin with just enough padding around the knuckles. Up until now they have been fine but i have out grown them.
So i decided to pick up some mma style gloves . I go to sports authority and pick up the century gloves for like 40$. They seemed like the nicest gloves i could fing at any retail stores for bag work. Leather , decent padding, pretty good comfort.
I took them to the gym right after and used them. By the time i got home i realized that i had already destroyed the gloves. The stiching is coming apart and there are some rips and cracks forming on the glove. The next day i go to the gym and put on the gloves again. I hit the bag about 3 times and i notice that my hands are in alot of pain. I look closely and the sides of my hands are all red from rubbing of the leather, my skin between some of my fingers is red and a little bloody, and my knuckles are extremely sensitive because of the pain. I had to stop training because i couldn't take it.
I have to admit, i hit very fast and very hard, but these have to be the worst gloves ever!!!!!!
What should i get as far as bag gloves. I don't want anything the size of boxing gloves, just something that will protect my hands and take a beating
Cliffs: Century MMA Glove= shit
