Ringside IMF Tech Hook and Loop Boxing Gloves - Professional Training & Sparring Gear for MMA, Kickboxing, and Fitness Workouts

I also own Pro style IMF gloves which are somewhat more expensive than these, and I would say that this cheaper version is almost as good as the Pro Style IMF.These are excellent gloves. Initially, they are snug/tight to the point of uncomfortable, but after the break in, they feel like custom gloves fitted to your hand. I think they are slightly less tight than Pro style. However, they are somewhat difficult to put on and more difficult than the Pro style. One reason is the close fit. So if you want a close fit like I do, then you have to accept some difficulty in putting the gloves on, but another reason is the the wrist cuff design. It does make an advantage for sparring since everything is flush around your wrist and you will not cut your partners face. The disadvantage is in the difficulty of putting the gloves on by your self (without anybody helping you).Overall, these gloves are pretty close to the more expensive version (Pro Style IMF) in terms of how they feel. They are difficult to put on, but I am ok with this since the gloves are great. I give these gloves a 5 star rating for quality for the price. There are some better gloves, but at this low price range, they are amazing.These gloves should be reserved for sparring only. You can hit the bag of course and they will offer good protection, but they will fall apart quickly, like all sparring gloves do, if you are a heavy hitter. I would use them on the bag only for the initial break in.These gloves are true to weight! They weight exactly 16 ounces.Due to the tight fit, it is possible that they will not fit everyone, and not everyone would accept the difficulty of putting them on. For reference, my hand is 9.1 inches around knuckles and I bought the large size.
