winning boxing gloves question please help

i'll let every1 know how they are when i get em. But just a fair warning, i'm coming from, ya know those old mitts that old fighters use to use of the bag that weighed like 4 ounces? Yeah well i'm coming from them so my opinion may be a little well... skewed to say the least.

When are you getting them?

I like the idea that now there's a group of essentially strangers who are all out there really concerned and thinking about the condition of another stranger's gloves.

Merry Christmas! (And let us know about the gloves!)

Alright boys i kinda injured my hand so i wasn't able to use them until now.

Anyway my feelings, i'm kinda idk eh.

I mean i'm a lil disappointed but i think it may be because of how much hype these gloves get, i had unrealistic expectations. Also idk i tried out my mates 60 dollar gloves and they felt like they protected my hand more. Maybe cause these gloves wheren't made for the bag, oh well.


But in saying that, no more shaky hands after training which is great, i was able to wail on the bag, well will my good arm, without having to slow down a bit cause of mad hand pain which is also great, also they feel very soft, like to the point where i'd much much rather be hit with these 12 ounce gloves than my 16 ounce sparring glove.

Also since their lace up, putting them on makes me feel professional, not like a pro boxer or anything, just idk more professional, idk it's a weird feeling.

Sometimes i also feel bad that i'm using such expensive gloves as i feel like i'm wrecking them.

idk boyos, mixed feelings.

Gloves are meant to get wrecked - that means you're giving them a good life. Don't sweat it.

If they're giving you a confidence boost, and letting you punch harder and longer, I'd say they're a success even if they can't live up to some of the hype. Glad to hear they're working for you, and take care of that injured hand.

yeah i am, i do have a habbit at times of jumping back in while something is still injured, i just don't like taking time off. And thanks man, yeah they're overall pretty good, i always tried to never slow down on the bag cause of hand pain and when i would i'd get annoyed at myself even if it was just a bit, those old school gloves also made me less keen to hit the bag so i was doing not that much bag work, now that ain't gonna be a problem. Honestly it was a almost surreal expereince taking my gloves off after bag work and not having super shaky hands, also kinda nice.
