on 11/22/2005 the boxing glove you plan to buy depends on how you are going to use it. If you plan to use it for bag training then buy a padded bag gloves that offers protection to your hand. if you plan to use it for sparring, bag training and punch mitts then buy a good pair of training gloves. if you plan to fight in tournaments or such then buy a pair of fight gloves
