Remind me to stay away from the IMF's.
I was hitting just fine with my 16-oz. el cheapo Amber gloves (eBay specials), and with my Everlasts before those. The guys at my gym who use Cleto Reyes use them because they hurt. You know that this game is about knocking people down. It is not pillow fighting. I don't go looking to injure my sparring partners -- I have excellent control -- but I want to be able to throw heavy and deliver as much as possible in case I end up in the ring with some ******* who's looking to hurt ME. I work out at a tough gym in my city's hood, and we get our share of *******s looking for a gym war or to prove something. I want every possible advantage. I lift weights, I supplement, I work on my heavy punches, and I am always on the lookout for new gear or training methods that I feel might give me that extra little bit. I'm sorry if none of this equates to "good boxing" or some concept of sportsmanship that you subscribe to, but I will take every advantage available to me within the rules of the game. You may feel differently.

well then GET the IMF, they are hard as a overfull football. It really feels like If I hit someone full power with these bricks their brain will explode. They are extremely stiff and hard. It seems like cheating but if thats what youre looking for they are it.
