    Boxing Gloves With the Best Wrist Support

    I boxed for a few years in my teens and I'm getting back into it 7 years later. I have a bad wrist from a previous injury years ago and was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations for gloves that offered the best wrist support.

    Thanks in advance!

    i tried my friends 10oz (listed as L but weighs 2oz less) rival rb11 bag gloves..
    my wrist is 6.5inches
    height 5'7.5
    weigh 126lbs (walk around) very little fat.
    with OR without wraps, very very very secure.. but without wraps, the mesh inside will hurt ur knuckles.
    feels more secure than the laces ive tried, hard to believe eh? llol.
    important to note that it might only be because i have very tiny wrists.

    planning on buying one soon... hopefully b4 the discount ends

      wrist support is up to you, not the gloves. Either you throw your shots with your wrist straight and secure or you throw them limp wristed and f up your wrist. It has very little, if anything to do with the glove. It's all you...........

        1. Proper technique if you throw your punched with a bend wrist youŽll hurt badly

        2. Get a laced up glove instead of velcro. They offer way better wrist support that velcro

        3. Hand wrap. Use more Hand wrap on the wrist than on the knuckles and wrap a little higher up your arm, not too high though.

          wrapped, taped and in the most wrist supporting glove, if he throws limp wristed he hurts himself...........

            Gloves can certainly encourage good form and contribute to wrist safety.
            Laces are far superior in this regard. Grant have the best wrist support bar-none, and it's not even close. You don't have to buy those though. A number of brands work well. Title Black and Hayabusa's double strap system is the best I've used in Velcro.

            BTW, don't be afraid to use 2 wraps if you need extra support. I prefer 2 x 120" wraps.

                just curious why wrap higher on the arm? im making no implications here.
                but from what i can see/feel, wrapping anything beyond the wrist (on the forearm) offers no support for the wrist, unless im doing it wrong?

                  Oh really? smh........

                  Than you tell me which glove will protect this kid if he throws limp wristed punches.

                  The answer is if you throw limp wristed punches no glove will protect you.

                  When I choose which gloves to buy I only saw amateur and professional to choose from. But I never saw the choice of 'limp wristed' or straight gloves

                    where you get that he will be throwing limp wristed punches?
                    man you're so full of yourself and arrogant, always talking down to people lol.
                    if you're so great at boxing, where the fk are you now? lol
