Everlast Fighter Leather Boxing Gloves

These are really decent gloves. I like that they're leather and the black and red contrast is easy on the eye. One thing to notice is that it's quite a rigid glove so you need to wrap your hands properly especially around the knuckle area to avoid grazing the skin off. These gloves allow you to punch pretty hard as there is less cushion than other more technologically advanced gloves so less of a pillow feel and more like you're using bare hands. Another thing I've noticed is that they don't really feel like 16oz's the lack of padding makes them feel lighter than the 14oz ones my friend has that are heavily padded. This is a punchers glove with a old school look and feel. If you're not big on wearing wraps and really protecting your knuckles you could hurt yourself with these. The thumb position is quite clever allowing your punch technique to be as close to textbook as possible. These gloves allow me to really use and feel my punching power. I gave a punching bag pretty much everything I had with no injury. I grazed a knuckle because I wrapped my hands myself and didn't have any gauze or tissue underneath. Still at the time I didn't feel a thing. For the price for real leather gloves it's a must buy. Just be mindful of a good strong wrap technique and punch properly in these.
