I got these a couple weeks ago when I needed a new pair of 16 oz training/bag glove. they seem pretty durable and able to last a long time. the leather is soft and squishy but i know it's not fake. when it came, the leather smell was too strong and being in a enclosed car, all I could smell was leather. I think I got high off of this smell too. The glove overall, is very stiff and hard, even for a training/sparring glove. the description says the glove is for sparring but I cant imagine hitting a good training partner with this as it wouldnt seem very cool.
pros:
looks cool
durable quality leather
soft inside the gloves
good if you wanna hurt somebody
offers partial forearm protection
knuckle protection is very underrated. I have fragile knuckles and other gloves, including twins caused me knuckle pain but knuckle pain was no problem at all with these gloves on
cons:
finger area inside the gloves is very tight
awkward feel on the knuckle padding. it is not flat like most gloves but the knuckle padding is curved like a half-circle sticking out of the glove from the inside. so when I hit a bag, my contact is not very solid but feels weird.
too hard for sparring
is overall pretty tight and I have very small hands too
I dont really likethese very much. I might try to sell them off or something. How are mexican style gloves generally made? I like the sleek design and everything but I dont like the way it feel on the inside. Some other mexican gloves I have worn feel much better than this. I will do a review on my new pair of Winning gloves I just recieved
