Best Sparring Glove?

[TDO]

What is the best sparring glove out there?

I know similar threads exist, but not quite to this point.
I am new to boxing, and right now I am training with mma bag gloves from century; hitting the heavy bag and mitts. I want to start sparring but dont know what gloves to get or what to look for for that matter. Any thoughts would help, thanks.

if you're on a budget:



but i strongly recommend you save up for better ones:









size 16oz. is the standard for sparring. all depends on your weight.

I use Cleto Reyes or something like that when we spar at the gym.

oh how could i forgot about cleto reyes. yeah those are probably on of the best, if not, the best gloves out there. comfort wise. i heard they aren't as padded as other gloves, which reduces safety.

Thanks for your input guys.
Yeah, I am not interested in a cheap glove, and have a budget right now of around $60.
Right now I am leaning toward the from Ringside:

Has anyone tried these, and if so, how do they compare to the other gloves mentioned here?
Also, I am 5'11'' 175 lbs with a muscular build, and was wondering what size gloves I should get and what the advantages/disadvantages come along with each size?

i have those imf tech gloves, i got them when they were on sale for $45 in the first week of june.

2 problems for me,

first, i don't like the elastic cuff, it was verrrrrry hard to put on without someone helping you. so, i used scissors to cut off the elastic band, which removed wrist support. so, when wrapping hands i apply more to the wrists.

second, the outter knuckle surface is harder than the usual sparring/training glove, i dunno if it's just me, but i dont like them for aggressive sparring, light sparring might be good.

but i noticed after 2 weeks of using them on a 100lb heavybag, they got a little softer.

the hand protection and comfort, i rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

16oz. is the standard for sparring.

whatever kind of gloves u get, make sure u don't leave em out in the open laying around at your place, if i had a nickel for every time i've caught one of my buddies jerking off into my gloves...
