I have read nothing but good reviews on the IMF Tech Hook & Loop Training Gloves with the exception that some find it a pain to put on and take off with the elastic wrist. Has anyone used the Title Gel Hook & Loop World Training Gloves that can offer their view? Can anyone who has tried both compare the two, particularly if you have smaller hands? I am told that the IMF's have 2.5" of foam over the knuckles and the Titles have 2.5-3". Use will be mostly for bag work 2-3x/week at home. Thanks much.

never tried the title but the IMF's are not hard to put on. They are hook and loop under the elastic cover. You dont even have to pull the cover over if you dont want.

Another guy had kinda the same question about Title gloves yesterday,,, I have a pair of the Title Gel Hook & Loop World Training Gloves and they are great. They are real easy to get on and off and they also fit very snug.... I usually wear a Medium in regular gloves and the 16oz fit me fine. I really cant think of one neg. thing about them.

the IMFs are nice, not sure about the Titles

i love when sparring partners wear these because i dont get scratched up from the velcro.

I keep hearing the IMF's are nice but differing opinions come up about how hard/easy they are to put on with that elastic cuff which covers the hook & loop wrist. That is what is naking me somewhat hesitant about the IMFs. I know you can roll it down but I thought that if the padding and protection on the Title Gel World's was equivalent to the IMFs I might be better going that way. I am going to be using them in my home for bag work - no sparring - so while I appreciate the thoughts about others getting hit with them, that is not a concern with these gloves. My main concern is knuckle padding, wrist support, and comfort.

As I understand things, if I go IMF I must get the 16 oz. gloves to get the 2.5" of padding as the 14 oz. ones have less (2"). On the Title Gel World's I can go either 14 or 16 oz. as they have the same amount of padding. Since I have small hands and am only 5'4" I thought that 16 oz. may be a bit too big. If that is the case then perhaps this is an easier decision that I thought. Anyone have any thoughts on 14 vs. 16 oz. gloves for bag work?
Thanks much to all who have offered their thoughts.

If you are just going to use them for bag work just buy the imf bag gloves they dont have the elastic cuff.

BAMF - I considered that but was told by Ringside that they actually have less knuckle padding than the training gloves.

they are both good gloves..I prefer the title bag gloves because of their closure system.
If you have small hands, get a regular size bag glove, as both companies make snug fitting gloves, but the difference between a large and x large is quite noticeable in the hand chamber.


If you are just starting out, there won't be a noticeable difference between the two, and I'm sure you will be happy with both. Personally I would go with the Title gloves...

If you want a glove for pure bag work, don't get a training glove..
Get a nice 16oz bag glove..

If you want to spend some money, grant and reyes can't be beat (but they tend to be a little tough on the hands for beginners).

you need less padding on the knuckle for bag work than you do for sparring and mitt work.
For the bag you want a snug fit and streamlined glove that enables you to apply the glove easily, and provides a flat front punching surface....
