Pro Mex Vs Title Gel gloves

[wordisbond]

I'm looking at either the 12 oz Pro Mex Professional bag gloves or the Title Gel World bag gloves for heavy bag training.

They are similar in price so the cost is negligible. I am around 155lbs and I do have some hand issues so good protection is an asset. Which would you recommend?

hand issues? 16 oz maybe??? why do you want 12 oz? just curious

I had the idea that 16oz gloves are just for the bigger guys. I tried on one of my friend's Fairtex 16's and the joints were huge on my fists.

Hmm, mexican style gloves are less protective so I would go with the gels. But I haven't tried either one so I don't know

hmm i guess that could be the case youd have to ask someone with more exp, but you wouldnt be able to spar with anything less at our place. im 6ft 169 lbs but i have pretty small hands and never had a prob with fit

im currently looking at the rival gloves as i want the most protection possible for my hands

^ Do the rival gloves have great protection?

from what iv read along with the ringside imf tech they are amongst the best protection you can get for a glove. Im pretty sure im gunna go with the rival but they are pricey at £ 80 thnk the ringside imf tech are considerably cheaper

My tuf-wear gloves are pretty good, and feel light. My japanese heatseekers by far have best hand protection, but since they are training gloves they will wear down from heavybag use

to be honest my lonsdale super pro spar gloves have done me proud for a couple years i just use em for everything and no complaints

Since I live in Canada, the Rival gloves should be considerably cheaper esp to ship.

tellin you man... upgrade to these babys :) [Only registered and activated users can see links]

Gels seem to have a bigger hand pocket than other gloves. I only tried the training gloves though. Another guy in my gym has the gel bag gloves and swears they eliminate knuckle problems period. For bag gloves I'd definitely get 12oz...16oz are killing my forearms and elbows after a while.

Lonsdale also has molded foam bag gloves, which I assume are fantastic. I'd not use Pro-mex for bag gloves because as stated, mexican gloves aren't the best when it comes to protecting your hands.

By gel bag gloves are you referring to the Title ones?

[KillSomething]

Yeah.

Reading good reviews about Rival gloves on this board, I went ahead and copped the Rival RB2's for less than $80 CDN with tax and shipping. I feel better supporting a Canadian company making quality products, and it also helps that when I met Russ Anber (co-owner) the dude was mad cool.
