Differences Between Boxing Gloves

For example, Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are known as punchers' gloves. They are small and compact, and more of the weight is distributed to the wrist as opposed to over the hand. The result is what many people believe is a harder, more dangerous punch. Fighter's known for their punching power may use Cleto Reyes boxing gloves to exploit their advantage even more. Conversely, fighters without much power may turn to a pair of Cleto Reyes professional fighting gloves to try to improve or eliminate their weakness.

On the far end of the spectrum from Cleto Reyes are Grant boxing gloves. Grant boxing gloves appear larger and cushier than most other models and brands. More of the weight is placed into the hand as opposed to the wrist, offering increased protection of a fighter's hands. Fighters who have been known to break their hands often or who are trying to prevent that from happening love Grant gloves for the added protection. Additionally, due to their fluffier shape, Grant gloves can be a defensive tool, helping a fighter to block and deflect more of his opponent's shots.

Differences between boxing gloves are not always as easy to spot. As mentioned, Cleto Reyes and Grant are on the complete opposite sides of the equation. In the middle, you'll find brands such as Everlast, Title, Ringside and TKO that provide well rounded gloves that are used by many different fighters and fighting styles.

How else are boxing gloves different from each other? It's also important to realize that the differences between boxing gloves don't just lie in the different brands and manufacturers. Gloves are designed and sold for different uses:

A bag glove with velcro strap

• There are professional fighting gloves for use in the ring. These are lighter than training gloves which are designed to provide more protection and more weight for speed training.
• There are amateur competition gloves which have white paint to show when a punch lands cleanly.
• There are bag gloves designed to be taken on and off easily during training and which are used on heavy bags, double-end bags and the like.
• There are speed bag gloves which are very small and light and allow for fluid movement when hitting the speed bag. Hand wraps can be used in place of bag gloves.

Before purchasing your boxing gloves, think about how you're going to be using them. Match up your potential uses with the correct kind of gloves for maximum performance. The differences between types of boxing gloves will absolutely make a difference in your training and fighting.

Which Boxing Gloves Are The Best?

You'll see just as many boxers favoring Cleto Reyes as Grant, and just as many with numerous other brands as well. It really boils down to personal preference. What feels best for you (and your hands) and what translates best with your boxing style. Remember to purchase appropriate gloves for what you use them for. Don't spar with bag gloves and don't buy pricier professional gloves for use around a home gym with a heavy bag. Understanding the differences between boxing gloves will make you a more informed consumer - and a better boxer.
