Most of the pro athlete I know train with 50 $ gloves... I wonder why someone should need something that expensive...

Here are some pics.
I got the Shevlin's with the Velcro strap and tan tops - brown palms. You can customize them any way you want and their customer service is great.
I am barely 130 lbs, but my gym recommended me getting 16 oz gloves for some reason. Since having smaller hands, I asked the good people at Shevlin to make me some gloves that are 16 ounces but are 14 oz profile and they extra stuffed them to make the 16 ounces and fit nice and sug on my hands.
These gloves are different. They come very easy to make a fist and even open your palms when parrying. No need to break these in. The surface on the knuckles naturally make a pop when you hit. It is not curved like a Mexican style glove that you see in the red gloves in the pic (Casanova's 14 ounces). They are extremely well on your hands. The compartment is made with cotton so it doesn't feel like all the other gloves out there and it is a nice snug fit, unlike the Casanova's which I can't even feel my knuckles touching the end of the glove compartment, if that makes any sense. The only thing that could make these gloves perfect is if the wrist support was a little better and they last my whole boxing life and obviously I don't know if they will so I would have to go with the former. I got these gloves with the strap but there are the laces as well, so I don't know if it was the extra stuffing that they makes the gloves fat around my wrists...there is some room there. I think it would be better if they were nice and tight in that are like my Casanova's which feel like i have a cast on my wrist when i use them. I have never had any wrists problems so it hasn't affected me so far.
