Would love to get your opinion/reviews on the Modest Vintage Player lineup. They've got boxing gloves and MMA gloves. They seem like a virtually unknown company from New Zealand but their gear looks gorgeous.
Tell me if I'm wrong but I just dont see the purpose of mma "sparring gloves". You cant be hard sparring in 7oz gloves any more than you can with 4oz competition gloves so why own another pair of gloves? The difference between a 7oz sparring glove and a 4oz with a heavy hand wrap will be negligible especially when all you're able to do is light work in the stand up anyway. Except the transition to ground will be easier with the 4oz because of its slimmer profile. Then just have a pair of 16oz gloves for all your hard sparring. You can even cut the thumb stitching so you can somewhat grapple while transitioning straight from a hard spar.
How do you compare this to the gold puffy Sanabul ones? On another hand I got a size M since I’m in between sizes and realize that my thumb’s knuckle is popping out of the padded section. What’s your opinion on that too? Thanks!
Good question! Most MMA sparring gloves you will find are 7 OZs. Some very thickly padded gloves might be in the 10-12 range but most every MMA sparring glove will be at least 7. Odd number to me but hey its what people do!
