Which bag gloves: BOON or KING or some traditional boxing brands?

[horc00]

I've been training MT but right now I'm just looking for a pair of gloves to pound on my heavy bag. Something good but nothing too fancy.

My criteria are simply:
1) Padding and wrist support - Avoiding injuries is my top priority.
2) Durability - I want this thing to last as long as possible.
3) Comfort

2 gloves I'm considering are the BOON bag gloves and the KING bag gloves.

I've used the BOON gloves a few times when I was training in Thailand. They're definitely the best gloves I've ever used (although I haven't used many types so I don't have much to compare with). They fit perfectly and the padding feels great. Comfortable for sure although I'm not sure how the wrist support scores against other brands.

As for the KING gloves, have never tried it before, but I've heard nothing but good reviews on it. Read somewhere that it also has an extended cuff to prevent against wrist injuries.

What about other boxing brands of gloves? I've heard that MT gloves generally have poorer wrist padding/support (any difference?) as compared to traditional boxing gloves in order to allow for clinching. Any truth in this?
If so, which glove is recommended? I currently live in China and most of such gloves can't be found in Asia. Shipping's gonna be costly.

My first glove is an MTG, which is ok. I also have a Twins bag gloves and custom made shorts. One thing I notice about Twins is that you have to order one size up. I ordered the L-sized shorts based on the measurements they gave me but it's way too tight. Same goes for my L-sized bag gloves. The padding's not half as good as the BOON and I seem to be hitting the bags with my large finger joints instead of my knuckles. And there's no way I can put it on when I'm wearing wraps. There's also this large protruding piece of leather sticking out from the inside of both gloves just below the fingers. Gets in the way all the time. Very uncomfortable.

So seeing that I can't wear a L-sized Twins with wraps, which size of BOON or KINGS should I get if I'm to get either one of these? If not, which traditional boxing brand of gloves should I get?

I have a pair of boon bag gloves and I think they're great. However they dont have a lot of wrist protection in my opinion, and your hands get pretty hot inside them.

I really like the Everlast Protex but they are bulky.
I just ordered these Gloves:
TITLE - GEL bag gloves (20oz)

The reviewer said they 20 oz but small like 12oz gloves.
I tend to like "Gel" padding too so thought they would be nice to have.

He mentions that the wrist support isn't good but you should use Wraps for Heavy Bag training anyway.

Since we're talking about bag gloves, can anybody tell me what the purpose of the Boon or Top King bag gloves are, as opposed to just training with 12, 14, or 16oz boxing gloves?

Oh, and to contribute to the thread, I have a lot of Boon products, I have yet to be disappointed with anything I have gotten.

A considerable number of people seem to prefer the Boon or Top King traditional or "old school" bag gloves, because they feel that the smaller glove design helps focus feel and awareness on proper punching technique, by being able to tell that you are striking on the first two large fist/ knuckle area joints.

Others tend to like the "super" bag glove design which is similar to a conventional "boxing" type glove for the additional padding, and wrist support.

I may never have children, but I'll always have my Boon bag gloves.
