There leaving my knucles pretty banged up. I give the bag hell, and I think it gives my hands hell. I'm going to go out tonight and by wraps to protect my hands, but I thought these gloves would be padding enough. Anyone else have this problem? This is my first time really hitting the bag hard for a long period of time. Before I was just shadow boxing.

Thanks!

I would never use fingered gloves on the bag, get some mits, and dont worry about the cost, get the best you can afford cos its worth it

I agree, Those are nice gloves, but for really going into a bag you should have some boxing gloves and wraps.

I second the penguin. Ringside has great Super Bag Gloves (The Contender brand is inexpensive) & wrap your hands. It'll save your hands & give ya a good workout.

Those gloves appear to support the wrist, but they don't support your thumb. If you jam your thumb, you will know it.

Yeah, I was worried about that. I'm heading to the sports store after work to pick up some stuff.

Thanks guys!

i had a pair of those a longggg time ago. like 2 years ago. i can't really remember how well they worked for me tho but i know a guy in one of my self defense classes uses them and says he likes them better than using hand wraps.... (in this class we don't use gloves just wraps)

but i know when i used them i felt like they ddint give me much support on my wrist...

Yeah, took the words right outta' my mouth.

1. you should always wear wraps... I won't get onto my soapbox about that one though.

2. If your figered gloves are like mine, then you scrape your knucks on things like hook punches. open finger gloves do nothing to protect the middle knuckles, so they can be scraped and torn. I've never had any problem with the hitting knuckles tho.

Well, I took everyones advice, and took them back. I picked up some wraps, and the Everlast pro series boxing gloves (12 oz).

Gave my hands a couple days rest to heal. Went at the bag last night. Didn't feel a thing. The only complaints I have are...

1. It's a pain to get the second one on, after you have the first on

2. I noticed that my inner parts of my hands are feeling a little cramped after about 5 rounds. I'm going to give it a little while to maybe break them in. Hopefully I won't have to take these back.

Other than that, it was an awesome workout, and no bloody/hurting knucles
