Hi guys, I'm looking at buying some quality boxing gloves and some coaching mitts.and I wondered if you'd be kind enough to give your opinion,here's a couple of questions 1,What would you recommend and what are the advantages to new fillings like foam/gel ? 2,For training do you use wraps on your hands or inner-gloves that are easier to slip on and do you prefer elasticated wraps? thanks
2 first. Cotton handwraps or even the elasticated ones. Both are good. I like this method of wrapping [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e9VUq3jK7I"]YouTube- Boxing Lessons for Beginners : Boxing handwraps[/ame] I generally stick to Twins and Fairtex gloves but had some really nice Top Ten boxing gloves filled with their special padding. Great gloves but the lining went really quickly.
I use these: http://www.ringside.com/Ringside-Safety-Training-Gloves-Hook-Loop/productinfo/RP+E/ With standard wraps. The oldschool stuff still works for me. I wouldn't bother with the newfangly stuff.
