Gloves: Latest & Greatest?

[Pork Chop]

Think I'm gonna go back to my Ringside Ultimate Classic Super Bag gloves (16oz) until I get my knuckle situation figured out. They're a bit bulky for use on the mitts, but I don't think I've ever bruised a knuckle in them. Worse comes to worst, i've also got a pair of Ultimate Classic training gloves (16oz) that I've always thought were over-padded; so i can switch to them too.

Bought way too many pairs of gloves over the last year or so and don't want to spend anymore money. hehe

Update: the Ringside were backordered; I cancelled the order and ordered the Title Gel gloves, instead. The Title gloves have the velcro wrap, which I like better anyway. I'll knock some people around in them next week and post a review.

I can't wait to hear it. I am very interested in these gloves as well.

Huh. And you weigh 270 lbs? I had a set of these and I hated them; they were so tight I couldn't even get my big monkey hands all the way inside them in my wraps. I ended up giving them to a girl at my gym who's 5'2". I'm not kidding.

I like them because they have such solid wrist support. the hook and loop everlasts, if you do it tight, is pretty damn supportive. The gloves are a little small on average but I dont like room in my gloves. not even a little, i like my gloves to fit me tight.

i love the way it smells when im working on my guard. fresh leather new car smell..

now that I think about it fraidy those gloves arent really >that< tight. u must have some monstrous hands? Because these actually have a small amount of breathing space for my hands and my hands arent small. they arent huge though, like some big guys hands, either.

I have hands like a gorilla. I'm 5'9" and I wear size XL gloves. I'm a maintenance man by trade, so I've got thick fingers and big mechanic's knuckles on broad hands to begin with. My mother made me take up piano when I was about eight and she saw that I had hands like jackrabbit's feet. If I was taller I'd have made a great wide receiver.

You can kinda see the size of them in this pic:

I hit very, very hard. And I'm told that a big part of that it from having huge hands.

EDIT: I'm also something of a freak in that I have a 30" inseam and 36" sleeves. I think I'm only the third generation of my family that's standing upright.

Dempsey's power-line theory is pretty ****ing hard to use, eh? I tried it awhile ago along with the falling step move.. I found it extremely ackward and so hard to do that I felt like a kid with downs trying to walk. My trainer saw me doing it and slapped me in the back of the head and told me to stick to what I was good at! Lol.. good luck! And tell me if you ever actually get it to work for you!

trainers always ***** about stuff like that. Cant stand it.

ALRIGHT, did I help influence you or anything?

also, I ordered the international and the IMF training gloves from RIngside and they are on the same sale that the ringside gels are, i HOPE they arent on backorder too.
