is fighting equipment any good?

[BostonGuy]

I've just started sparring and want to get a nice pair of Rival gloves. Here are the ones I'm looking at ($120):

I thought UFC gloves are good since it's said their heavy bags are great...

fighting sports gear is the american version of winning.........best gloves ive ever bought for half the price of winning.

they are not the american version of winning. they are the winning version of title platinum. they have similar logos, other than that, they are completely different in construction and quality

the closest clone to winning is triumph united, and they're not winning quality either

i see you claiming that fighting = winning for half the price, so... have you ever tried a winning glove?

they even have the velcro ones on sale for $35... that's an awesome deal

I spar with the gloves in this link and they definitely get the job done. I like them

Rival seems good, but you cant't go wrong with Hayabusa.

hayabusa is a joke are you kidding me? their sparring gloves are like cement bricks. It's just one of those new age mma companies trying to sell gloves based on how cool they look. I've had one pair of Rivals and I'd say they are average at best as well.
