Advice on Sparring Gloves and Bag Gloves

Hi Guys,

After about 8 months of training I am now looking to upgrade some of my gear and am interested in what you all recommend as far as top quality bag gloves and sparring gloves. I started off with Top Contender and now am looking for a more high quality product. Thanks for your help!

I use ringside 16 oz. for sparring and I fucking love them. They have the elastic cuff which is great for clinch work.


I use twins 12 oz. for bag and pad work and love those as well.

Only used Twins 16oz for sparring. Love 'em.
If your looking for quality and a decent price check KOfightgear.com

They have excellent reviews in G&E.

I just went through the same research.

I also found the 16oz Twins best for sparring.

I decided on the Windy Super Bag Gloves (12oz.) for thai pad and heavy bag work and the small Windy bag gloves (no thumb and elastic so they can go on and off easier) for focus mitt and clinch work. The Windys are awesome!

I use the Windy Hook and Loop bag gloves, been using these for awhile and are really good IMO and have used Twins 16oz gloves for a long time as well before I sold them. So through experience I would recommend these. Fairtex if you're willing to spend a lot.
