Boxing gloves hard to put on

[deh707]

yup i have those exact gloves. imf tech ringside training, 16oz.

i used scissors to cut off the elastic band. wrist support is gone now. but i use 1 extra handwrap for each hand. the first handwrap is mainly focused on the wrists. the second handwrap is put on normally.

winning gloves are very expensive, and there are two versions of the everlast hook & loop.

i got them a few days ago for whatever the price says on it now unfortunately. those other gloves that u showed, the bag ones, look exactly like em except they are 16oz.

I believe my Ringside Ultimate Classics are the same way and if i'm not mistaken the gloves have an outter elastic band (visible in the picture) covering the velcro strap fastened at the palm, an inner elastic band close to the palm keeping that part of the glove tight, and the velcro lower down around the wrist.

The outter layer of elastic is more of a "lace cover" type of thing and I wouldn't think it would impact wrist support that much.

The inner layer of elastic at the palm is a relatively small piece of elastic that you can stretch by tugging on it for a while.

Another option is getting a glove dog, layering it a couple times with some socks until it's nice & thick, and then inserting it into the wrist of the glove, only so far as the wrist part where it's snug. Store it like that over night, maybe even getting it a little wet so you can shape it like a baseball cap.
