Right, I now what weight to get... 12-16oz, I saw a guys 16's that he brought and they didn't look to bad I was probably just mislead by the ones at the gym which were tattered.

Anyway I was wandering if you could Reccomend me some gloves to buy... between 12-16oz, and I am willing to spend up to £50 (not much but I aint exactly loaded right now).

dont ever spend 50 bucks on gloves ever, they will just fall apart. save up for a while and get some quality gloves. if your getting em for training id save up and get either a pair of grant, which run for about 1110 or so in US money. or get the best glove in the world by far which are Winning which is 250 US. yea its alot but i saved up and got em and to be honest i would pay double for them. if you want a pair of gloves for fighti9ng get Cleto Reys, they go for about 120 US, but dont use them for training.....

50 pounds not dollars, I am unsure what the exchange rate is though... I am a full time student at college and doubt I could afford a 250 pair, maybe Grants at a push but you say I can't use them for training?

EDIT: With recommendations can people please provide links?

EDIT 2: Oh **** wait, did you say Grants are $1,100 each or meant $110?

thats kool. just remember in boxing quality of the qlove is very important. its better to save up and buy a good pair like grant that will last you years intead of buying a pair for 40bucks that will last weeks before they break.

Can someone tell me why the weight of the glove matters? Does it determine its size or cushioning? I'm trying to buy some Cleto Reyes pro fighting gloves at Ringside.com but they only have 10oz and 8oz.

I'm going to have Valero sign them but I don't want em to be kids sized gloves or too big either.

Most of the pro athlete I know train with 50 $ gloves... I wonder why someone should need something that expensive...

Here are some pics.

I got the Shevlin's with the Velcro strap and tan tops - brown palms. You can customize them any way you want and their customer service is great.

I am barely 130 lbs, but my gym recommended me getting 16 oz gloves for some reason. Since having smaller hands, I asked the good people at Shevlin to make me some gloves that are 16 ounces but are 14 oz profile and they extra stuffed them to make the 16 ounces and fit nice and sug on my hands.

These gloves are different. They come very easy to make a fist and even open your palms when parrying. No need to break these in. The surface on the knuckles naturally make a pop when you hit. It is not curved like a Mexican style glove that you see in the red gloves in the pic (Casanova's 14 ounces). They are extremely well on your hands. The compartment is made with cotton so it doesn't feel like all the other gloves out there and it is a nice snug fit, unlike the Casanova's which I can't even feel my knuckles touching the end of the glove compartment, if that makes any sense. The only thing that could make these gloves perfect is if the wrist support was a little better and they last my whole boxing life and obviously I don't know if they will so I would have to go with the former. I got these gloves with the strap but there are the laces as well, so I don't know if it was the extra stuffing that they makes the gloves fat around my wrists...there is some room there. I think it would be better if they were nice and tight in that are like my Casanova's which feel like i have a cast on my wrist when i use them. I have never had any wrists problems so it hasn't affected me so far.
