A Ringside To Every Fighter

Fight Life

Kids...

Almost all of us have a reason to enter into this fighting world, irrespective of the fight form. Your Dad would have been a good fighter, or you would have started taking up classes just because you got bullied by some bum or kid, you would have even got inspired watching ROCKY BALBOA. I hope you guys haven't forgot this... 

"Fighting.. its like 90% from the skull and 10% from the body."

Believe it or not, that line wasn't just a film dialogue. Its so important that every fighter gets this into his mind. Your size doesn't matter because all that matter's for a fighter is his heart.!

For instance, i am a fighter. A light-weight fighter. All i know is fighting and only that. It all starts with which glove you choose. i would like to let you know about different glove brands upon my personal experience.

Firstly, you got to know what are the different kinds of glove available :

• Bag Gloves– Most of these look small, lean, and trim. The more expensive ones look like regular boxing gloves. In my opinion, ignore them, they are a waste of time and money. They are designed to protect your knuckles while you deliver hard punches to the punching bag and serve to accustom your knuckles to harder impact. Another thing to note is that some bag gloves are really stiff and don’t form well to a curved fist.
• Training Gloves – These are all-purpose gloves. Some of them are not thick enough for sparring. Figure out what boxing gloves to use based upon your priority.
• Sparring Gloves – These are general use gloves. I highly recommend everyone to buy a pair of these before anything. They are made with extra cushion to protect your hand as well as cushion the blows to your opponent. You can use these gloves for all-purpose boxing. It’s important to note that sparring gloves should be at least 14-16 ounces especially if you weigh anything over 130 pounds.
• Pro or Fight Gloves – Fight gloves are smaller and more compact to deliver more damage to your opponent. They are not recommended for anything other than real competition.

How to choose yourself a Color :

 Does the color of your boxing gloves matter? YES! Although red is the classic color, it is less visible to the human eye than other colors in the spectrum. If you’re sparring against someone, it’s preferred that they wear gloves of a color that you can see. Don’t forget that wearing light colored gloves can also help your trainer catch your punches better. I’ve trained at night a lot so I love to buy blue, green, and white colored gloves. I still have a pair of red ones just because red is the classic boxing color. Another knock on red gloves is that sometimes you can’t see the build up of blood stains on the gloves. I know this is a bit morbid but I’d like to know if a pair of gloves have been bled on. 

What are the different types of glove available :

Lace-up type offer more comfort if you like your glove to fit snug around your wrist. For some fighters, it’s just a habit to have lace-up gloves. Hook & Loop gloves are made to be convenient and can be just as supportive. Most people will prefer the hook & loop gloves because they can put them on themselves. The bad parts about hook & loop in my opinion are that the elastic velcro hooks can tear into your cotto hand wraps and shred them. It’s not a big deal but it’s happened to me before and really annoyed the hell out of me. Lace-up gloves are actually not that hard to deal with. They might be considered even more convenient than hook & loop gloves if you have skinny wrists – since all you have to do is tie the laces just once and then slip your hands in and out every time before use.
Another great thing about lace-up gloves is that it allows you to walk around the gym and ask people to tie your gloves and meet the pros, trainers, and other fighters in your gym.

Review's of various glove brands :

Fighting - This is Titleboxing’s “premium” brand. The cushion and padding are great but the wrist areas can feel a little skimpy. I have the hook & loop version and the velcro feels very cheap. Nonetheless, they feel like a great quality glove and cost considerably less than the other premium brands.
Everlast - One of the most popular name in the sport of boxing. I don’t know why this company has a toy division but many of their products are over-priced and poorly made. Their gear becomes higher quality only when you buy the higher-end pro-grade stuff. You basically don’t see any real boxing gloves from Everlast until you pay about $70 or more. Everything from $65 and down feels too stiff, too much like a toy, or just not anatomically comfortable for the hand.
Grant - Awesome gloves with protection all over. They’re very well padded and used in a lot of professional fights. There is a lot of padding around the wrist area which is great defensive fighters or guys that take punches on their wrist a lot (peek-a-boo style, high guard, etc). Excellent quality.

TKO - Imitation pro gloves. Their gloves might look thick and feel good at first but they’ll quickly break down and stiffen which gives you less protection over time. Avoid these wannabe-pro gloves like the plague!

Reyes (Cleto Reyes) - believe the hype. These gloves are made to be more compact at the fist to aid the puncher. It’s important to note that these gloves are made for FIGHTING, definitely NOT SPARRING. The gloves punch harder because they have less protective cushion so it’s important to protect your hands as much as possible in training. They are also very high quality and last forever if you can get the authentic mexican-made ones (there are hidden links on the internet). Again, I do not recommend these gloves for training, especially on the heavy bag.

Ringside - They're very nice and super high quality at a higher cost. These gloves will last forever! They feel great and will look new even though they are 3-4 years old. The inside and outside of the glove stays perfectly intact. Stitching stays together, the cushion still thick. It’s really great quality. Everyone who’s owned a pair of ringside can attest to this. Another 10 out of 10 brand.

PRO (Pro Boxing Equipment)- This is a company that is located in Southern California in the LA area. Their punching gloves are crap. I’ve tried even their professional ones before and they go flat within months of heavy use. Avoid them no matter how much their salesperson discounts the price.


There you go kid's, this is the basics for all beginners. As you get old, not by age, but by fight's you'll find a perfect pair for your fists.
