Boxing gloves for hitting the bag?
I’m looking for some boxing gloves that would suit best for hitting the heavy bag. Also, what is the difference between a “fight model” glove and a glove used for hitting a heavy bag? I noticed almost all pro boxers use “Cleto Reyes” fight model gloves in their fights, but they are very expensive. WHat is the difference between a glove like this and a glove that can be used daily in the gym to hit the bag?
Brands you want to avoid: Everlast, Title, Century, Combat Sports, Top Contender.
Brands you can rely on: Cleto Reyes, Ringside, Grant (only their “Professional” line of gloves, no other gloves or products), Windy, Twins, Fairtex, and that’s about it.
I would go for a 12-16 ounce set of bag gloves from Ringside (since you’re concerned with price). The difference between Fight Gloves and bag gloves is that bag gloves have only one or two layers of decent foam/stuffing, whereas fight gloves have 4-6 layers of Top Quality foam/stuffing, to better protect an opponent and your hands. A heavy bag doesn’t need that protection. But there are many boxers who train with Pro Gloves on the heavy bag.

On the Ropes $12.95 That every cliché and stereotype has some basis in fact is axiomatic. Boxing movies have long relied on archetypes such as the tough-but-big-hearted trainer who acts as a mentor, the crooked promoter, the hard-nosed kid who fights his way from the streets to the top. On the Ropes has all of these, but the kicker is this film isn’t fiction; this is a remarkable documentary that follows three young… |
