These gloves are pimp in case you couldn't already tell. I got the 16oz. training gloves for mostly bag and pad work. So far they feel great compared to some of the other ones I have been using (namely generic Everlast and upscale Everlast). Like some have said before each glove fits slightly differently because they are hand made. But the difference is nothing to worry about. They do need a little breaking in as the lower 2 joints of my fingers take a bit of a beating from rubbing around on the inside. The padding is awesome compared to other gloves I have used. I can really go all out for more than 5 rounds without feeling any discomfort or pain. The closure system is very snug but I absolutely need to wear handwraps with them because they are a little large where my hands sit. I also have small hands so whatever. I am using them for bag and pad work right now but in the 16oz. size I would think you would have no problem using them for sparring as well.
I highly recommend these gloves to anyone out there who is in the market for a new pair of gloves. Do yourself (namely your hands and wrists) a favor and spend a little extra $ for quality gloves that will seriously protect your hands. I give these gloves a 10/10 a must have. They were $74.95.
