Boxing gloves

Imagine someone hitting you in the face as hard as they can. Even thinking about it probably hurts. Now imagine the same person hitting you as hard as they can with a very padded pad to soften the effect of the blow. Now you know the purpose for which boxing gloves were invented.

However, boxing was not always so civilized. Long ago, sometime during 900 B.C., a Greek king named Tesus was entertained by watching two men sitting across from him and hitting each other with their fists. The fight ended when one of them ended up dead.

Even in the 1850s, most boxing matches were bare-knuckled matches, ข่าวมวย. Needless to say, such matches usually ended when one of the fighters was too injured to continue fighting.

With the writing of the Marquis of Queensbury rules in 1867, boxing gloves became mandatory for all fighters. The first boxing gloves were quite crude and looked like a puffy pair of gloves.

This major change, along with the introduction of other rules, changed the face of boxing. Boxing gloves made it difficult for fighters to achieve knockouts as most of them were quite large and punches with boxing gloves did not have the same impact as bare knuckles. This resulted in the wrestlers changing their strategies to adapt to the use of gloves.

Boxing gloves are not only used during matches, but also for training and combat purposes. These gloves can be made of leather or vinyl and come in various sizes and weights ranging from 5 oz. to 15 oz. They also come with various methods of holding them in the cuff: lacing, hook and loop closures, rubber straps, and Velcro are the most popular options.

Leather gloves last longer and provide better support, but perhaps a bit more expensive than vinyl ones. This is important if you are serious about sports.

Velcro straps are a great advantage if you are alone without assistance, as they allow you to easily attach the boxing glove to your hand. Tying a cord with a hand equipped with a boxing glove is impossible.

To choose the most suitable size for you, you will have to try them on, there is no other way. Plus sizes fit most men.

When shopping for a glove, don't choose something that is cheap and just looks good. Remember, we are talking about protecting your body from serious injury. Choose something from reputable manufacturers, although they may cost you a bit more. They will keep you and your opponent safe.
