My current glove collection

Prize ring "professional ss" 14oz
Paffen pro speed 16oz
Rival rfx guerrero hde-f 16oz
Everlast mx pro boxing gloves 10oz XL
+topboxer alien 14 oz (not included in picture)

My honest take and opinions on these gloves differ, the prize ring’s are incredibly soft, with an amazing thumb placement and padding, i use these gloves mainly for bag and mitt work. I would say these were my favourite overall.

Same goes for the paffen pro speed which i generally use for technical sparring and they have been great, while the only downside being the lack of wrist protection.

The rival Rfx guerrero hde-f’s havent actually been to use yet, due to me saving them for a hard sparring session which i havent been participating in yet due to health issues across this year, but they feel amazing, very stiff but thats probably due to minimal break in.

The everlast pro mx’s are amazing on the hand, i bought the XL ones because i want to be able to use these regularly without getting a sore palm which is usually my issue with snug gloves, and it worked out fine. I havent used them that much due to my hands being a bit fragile due to me having moved up in weight alot so i usually have that issue right now with every 8-12 oz gloves i try, and im not big either, but i moved up from 54kg->63kg in 3 and a half months.

The alien topboxer’s in 14oz, these were amazing in the beginning, minimal break in and generally a good feel, but the thumb placement is a bit off, and has caused me to get pain in my thumb if i accidently punch a little bit off course.

Hope this helps, and ask me about anything related to these gloves if your curious!

Boxing glove purchase decision

I’ve been boxing for a good amount of time, 2 and a half years now. I have the Rival rfx guerrero hde-f lace ups in 16oz which i use for sparring, and the paffen pro speed in 16 oz velcro whom i alternate between.

For bag and mitt work i’ve been using the topboxer alien’s in 14oz but i usually get some sort of thumb pain while punching, and me having moved up in weight classes in a fast amount of time makes my hand ache after bag and mittwork, so i need some gloves that protect my hands but still give me good output and comfortability.

I like gloves that are rounded, not tight, good thumb placement and soft padding while keeping good wrist protection. I’ve tried on winning gloves but their obviously way over my budget, atleast for bag and mittwork gloves, but their fit was right in my ally.

Does anyone have any recommendations for bag and mittwork gloves at a moderate price?
