best boxing gloves that dont need hand wraps

[PainfromUkraine]

I use 12oz Lonsdale training gloves on the bag, but type of glove is all really about 'user preference' and also on the type of heavy bag, in terms of how 'heavy' it actually is and if you want to work on speed or power more.

I use these lately:

In regards to wrapping your hands, just get ready-made slip-on wraps/bandages, something like this:



I use something similar as I feel the padding is nice and protective and it saves a lot of time as opposed to 'manually' wrapping my hands every time. These things are also very cheap, washable, and durable.

Protecting your hands is important though...lots of small and fragile bones, and the wrist as well, so make sure you get some sort of hand padding/protection as eventually an injury will catch up with you.

If you insist on doing that because wrapping your hands is cumbersome while you hit the bag just for the **** of it. Get some of these bull****s.



they're called gel padded wraps or inner wrap something like that. I don't know if it would work but I assume it helps. better than nothing.

I'm curious of your views on knuckle push-ups rockin. I do them more than regular ones nowadays and found my punching power has increased a little. What's your take on this?

doing knuckle push ups not only strengthen the hand but wrists,many boxers break hands b/c of weak wrists not hands.The stroner the wrist the harder it will be to break your hand,hense also strengthening your punch.Buy a nice pair of gloves they go a long way...I have a few year old 16 oz Hayabusa which ran almost around 175 and are the best ive ever had,feels like 10 oz.

Jaded's right. Punching without wraps isn't smart. A few minutes now will help prevent months/years of potential wrist and knuckle injuries. If you're getting gloves think about your weight. If you're a really big guy and hit hard (or your bag's packed and super hard) go with some 16's. If you're a lighter guy, or you're on a soft bag then you can go with something lower. I use 14's, they're not too far off my 16oz sparring gloves and when I get my fight gloves on it feels like I'm going in bare knuckle

Don't mess with either of these. They both have too much give or you wouldn't be able to get them on. Wrapping your hands is an art. They have to be just right. Too loose or too tight can cause/likely will cause injury. When they are perfect you can really punch. I personally like them wrapped high...then I feel like I'm wear casts and can really power. I never had a hand injury. If you close you fist and look at you hand from the top you see a triangle. By nature of design...pressure will cause an outward transfer of force making the hand expand outwards. This is where you will tear and break bones. Like Rockin' said...you have the tiniest bones in your body in your hands...you also have a lot of them. If they are wrapped too tight it's also bad although you will know something is wrong immediately. You should watch a video on how to do it right. Don't mess around with your hands...it only takes one punch to cause a lifelong problem.

Put your hand wraps on... Dont need to fancy stuff.

I don't know if anyone else has done it and I don't recommend doing it unless you know what you are doing but punching a telephone book hanging on a brick or otherwise solid wall will strengthen your hands. Start out easy and build up the power without breaking your bones and only hairline fracturing them. This is the same idea as Muay Thai fighters kicking trees etc with there shins. It creates hairline fractures in the bones which when heal are harder than before. I used to do this when I was in boxing years ago. (recently found my love for it again) I used to just tape gauze on my knuckles and use speedbag gloves on the heavybag with no breaks in my hands over almost 10years.

It's not exactly the breaks that will be the problem. It's the fact that late in life you're most likely going to develop some from of problem in your hands. Whether that be arthritis or some other type of hand problem, there's a good chance it will happen if you're not careful.

The kid just wants to hit the bag for ****s and gigs.. he's not training or working out seriously. So, calm down on the whole "U HAV TO USE HANDWRAPS"

you are correct, wtf were we thinking in telling him to properly protect his hands? I hope that if he follows your words that he enjoys the injuries that will arise today as well as the arthritis that he will enjoy in his future.
