I couldn't care less about how much expensive gear you own. Do you seriously think I or anyone else here is interested in how many shorts you have in your drawer?

I'm just saying that the problem you have with buying Winning is psychological. You don't want to risk $300 on gloves unless they're guaranteed/likely to satisfy a certain durability requirement.

That's fine and normal.

It's unclear to me, however, why you keep telling us about it on this thread. What do you expect us to say in response? You already have all the anecdotal evidence about Winning. So just make a decision and stop crapping on about it.

man i think thats crazy t pay 200 for those small winning bag gloves for sparring sure but dont see how they would really be worth 200

Then don't pay it.

I also own traditional Winning bag gloves and they're great. They've lasted for ages compared to other traditional bag gloves I've owned (e.g. Twins and Fairtex). Definitely worth it, in my opinion.

What do you guys think about TopBoxers new bag gloves? I was thinking of getting a pair but don’t want to find it later that the style of glove with no thumb padding is painful to use or something.

I've never used "Bag gloves" I always used gloves like Fairtex BGV9's on the bag or my Topboxer 12oz gloves. Bag gloves to me just seem like cheaper shittier gloves with less padding.

Yeah, there's truth in that.

I use them sometimes only because I enjoy the illusion of speed and precision they give me. It really is an illusion, though.

If you want to enjoy the illusion of speed and precision I mentioned above, then go for it. They look awesome, aesthetically at least.

You may very well hurt your thumb. I have done that with traditional bag gloves several times. And you can't punch the heavy bag as hard as you might normally do owing to the thin padding.

exactly i feel the same i train striking for mma so i dont want big gloves anyways unless sparring but i dont want those bag gloves for fact they hardly have padding anyways and not great wrist support so anymore than 60 for something like that i feel its a rip off

id rather get a snug pair of gloves around 10-14 oz

I think you should be okay as Heavy Bag Gloves lets you hold a more natural, compact fist shape compared to Standard Boxing Gloves. I own a pair of Cleto Reyes Heavy Bag Gloves where no Thumb Pocket & the Rival RB5 ones and I never once ran into any thumb problems.

I don't think it's even a concern unless you're into Dirty Boxing and is planning to put out someone's eye... but I rather use a "missed hook" that "accidentally" lands my elbow into his head instead.

Strangely, I think have been hanging with the old time trainers (geezers that don't believe in pad work much) too much. My gloves are either a 14+ oz ones or heavy bag gloves, I alternate between them in my sessions, so I carry both types around in my gym bag. For me, different gloves, different practice goals. Standard glove for more offensive techniques and perfecting power shots (or how to correctly generate them through form). Heavy bag gloves to train the quick twitch muscles (or muscle memory) and defensive techniques more (foot work), also the Double End Bags of course.

As for cheaper shittier gloves, even for Heavy Bag Gloves there's a big differences in brands. Cleto Reyes' Heavy Bag Gloves have a lot of protection, I feel it's softer than even their standard Boxing Gloves. Thinner Padding but a lot Softer and Forgiving. My first pair, if I remember correctly was a Venum, now that was crappy. That pair really fit the "cheaper shittier gloves with less padding" description to a T.

I readily admit that, in a certain sense, you do occasionally upset me. The vast majority of your posts are utterly moronic. You also often fail to understand the content of replies to your posts. And your grammar and spelling is generally appalling. So, in a nutshell, your seriously defective intellect frustrates me. But it's ultimately my problem, as this forum is open to all-comers.

There's a nice feeling of solid connection when you hit with a heavy bag glove. It goes up your forearm that 10+ oz padding dampen. Forces you to align the knuckles correctly but also makes it easier. I have a hard time hitting with my 2 big knuckles in a 10 or 16.

Seems like something beginners need to do (I'm not trying to say I'm an expert). But I feel I've been doing it long enough to know how to align my knuckles without using less padding. I imagine it's important for beginners to do this so they don't get a false sense of safety and break their hand in a bout.

the fairtex glove you like so much i know fairtex is a muay thai company but is that glove a thai glove or boxing shaped

I sort of disagree with all of you who think that the bag mitt is a "cheaper, shittier" alternative to your training gloves.

However, I understand that most every single one of you have never used an old pair of mitts, not of the pre-curved, velcro variety out there today. In my opinion, no one produces a good bag mitt today. The closest I've come is the Thaismai, but even those mitts are precurved and the padding is much too soft.

A good bag mitt used to be made by Everlast and Tuf Wear. SGM for Tuf Wear, and 4305 for Everlast. I have several pairs made by both brands; the good ones are made in the US. The padding is extremely dense, and the glove is flat when new. If you haven't tried a bag mitt that is similar to either of these, then you really haven't used bag mitts as they should be. Those of you that think that your 16oz layered or IMF padding gloves or even Winnings are the best gloves to use on a bag probably think that boxing today, from a skills perspective, is the best it's ever been, and I'll disagree with you on that as well.

The BGV9 is a mexican style boxing glove.

I prefer to use 12 or 10oz on the bag, 16 would be like hitting it with a pillow.

Also, the hardest I've ever punched anything is in a bag mitt. Yes, I've hurt my hands in bag mitts, but the three years I trained almost daily in bigger gloves, I wrecked my wrist, joints, and shoulders. I have never had elbow or shoulder issues with bag mitts, only wrist when my form would get sloppy, and the occasional sore knuckle.

The illusion of speed and precision... Please punch through your bags, don't hit them. You all seem to think Joe Louis, Frazier, Foreman, Marciano and Ali couldn't afford a pair of big 18 oz gloves to hit the bag. Again, I don't blame any of you since real bag mitts are no longer being produced, but please try to understand that there are things you have not experienced. I have used all of your winnings, grants, topboxers, fairtex, r2c and everything being offered today aside from ONX, which I haven't tried, which actually might be different. None replicate what gloves used to be like, and aside from winning, none are being produced as they are because that method is the best with no compromises. Most of what you're getting, even winning, is a product that a businessman made. Don't forget that.

i agree completely. old fashioned horse hair stuffed mitts are the business. i find modern gloves to be both less comfortable and less durable than old fashioned mitts.
