The first pair of gloves I purchased when I started training were them cheap boxing gloves you’d find at your local sports store. The velcro loop broke within a few months. It was a big waste of money.

Someone I trained with brought in a pair of Heavy Hitter gloves and I thought to myself, I had to get them.

I saved up 80 bucks, went on ringside.com and bought myself a pair. These bad boys are 20oz, so it has plenty of protection for the hands. Protection isn’t the reason I bought them though, they helped me build shoulder strength and punching power.

These gloves are great for sparring, bag work, pad work and mitt work. After using these for a while, you’ll see that keeping your hands up is real easy when using 4oz MMA gloves.

Buy yourself a pair of these @ RingSide
