I had 12oz title and 16oz venum gloves. Both low cost gloves. I’ve been boxing for a while now and continue to have left wrist issues and left knuckle pain. My trainer and many fighters told me to toss the title gloves in the trash asap. They don’t allow you to keep a tight fist and the thumb is left in a strange spot.I made the jump and spent some money. More then double! However. Wow wow wow! I can not believe the difference.These gloves are tight in the wrist, make you keep a natural tight fist, pull your thumb into a great spot and feel awesome on. I didn’t want gold but it was this or purple in 12oz for some reason so I went with gold. Way to flashes for me but not I just have to train harder. LolDon’t waste your money like I did. Don’t buy cheep junk. Just get these gloves and get it over with. I just finished a hard 1 hour training session and I’m telling you it’s no comparison!!! Bonus from what I understand from the other fighters they break in and get even better over time!Only fault I saw was one glove has a little cracking in the paint on logo but I assume as they move more and more that will happen it’s not the glove just the decal
