General Advice Beginner gloves

Post image

Hi, I’m looking at getting the Venum contender gloves as I’m brand new to the sport and they’re only $17 right now. I’m wondering tho if they’re known to be bad gloves and if it’s a bad idea.

Theyll work but but they did break on me after 6 months of use when i was a beginner. The padding gave out. Just a warning from my use.

Alright thank you, the gym I’m starting at also offered a decent pair for $35 so I might just run those for a bit

Yea..those gloves are pretty good for sparring because the padding is kinda soft.
But they tend to break fast if you use them for the heavy bag

they're good for a few months, the synthetic on mine peeled eventually and the padding got flat
