I have small wrists and every glove has given me wrist pain afterwards but with the everlast mx its wayyyyyy less of a problem.

Also after about 4 months some of the stitching on the inside of my left glove is coming a bit loose but I like them, can't beat them for under 200 :manny:
Less of a problem because more padding historically besides that cheating ass Chino glove..............Grant is the way to go if you seek Cushion, plus thats a speed glove, your hands flow a lil faster there, but oldtimers say that speed with gloves thing is mental, I think not though

:ufdup:

Every fighter worth a damn has a strength and conditioning coach, this ain't the 70s/80s/90s no more breh.

The strength and conditioning gym I go to has both mixed martial artist and boxers.

Now as far as rep ranges and amount of weight you are correct that working out like a "bodybuilder" won't do you any good.

First you boxing at the crib or a gym? What do you intend to use them for (sparring, pads, shadowboxing, heavy bag?) a lot depends on those two. The tie ups are a lot harder if you are boxing by yourself--but the Reyes gloves are puncher mitts no bueno if you're using them to hit the bag

I wear grants for all around use and i've never worn a glove more friendly to the wrist and knuckles while being effective. @ChocolateGiddyUp that's is what i'd recommend but grants are hare to buy online today atleast for me I use to get all my shyt off title

knuckle pushups are real difficult and hurt like hell after but are very effective. You can feel your hands are heavier in 5 days

Yea i got my pair of grants 4yrs ago cant find them anywhere nowadays maybe ebay? If you're using the bag n sparring i'd lean towards the MX if you can find them in hook n loop.......unless your handwrap game is mean because those reyes even@ 16oz dont feel too nice against the bag
