    Can training gloves be used for both Sparring AND Bag Work?

    Is it recommended to use the same pair of gloves for bag work and sparring? I have heard that it was not, but with the high level gloves like IMF-tech that I have I am wondering if it would be ok.

    the gloves will become more damaging to your opponent as the foam wears down with bag work.

      according to ringside.com:

      "Although a training glove can be used for bag work, it is highly recommended that a boxer NEVER use the same glove that he or she hits the bags with to spar with. A training glove that is used for sparring should be used exclusively for that purpose. Otherwise, it's kind of like wearing your dress shoes out to play in."

      i currently have the imf tech ringside (training gloves). the outer surface doesnt seem safe enough for sparring, but i use it on the heavy bag.

      i'm planning on getting the imf tech (bag gloves) for heavy bag.

      for sparring i'm going to get another pair, can't decide yet.

            Never spar with gloves that you work the bag with!!!!! Thats the second, less known rule of fight club.

            Rockin'

              I noticed that those ringsides are rock hard too, but their too good to not use on the bag, especially after my latest wrist injury.

              I have some kofightgear gloves but theyre a little small, oh well. I think ill soften up the ringsides a bit then get some new bag gloves.
