These gloves are perfect for anyone who wants to start boxing or learn boxing for keep fit purposes. They give good support around your wrist which is comfortable and reassuring, the detail on the gloves is a nice touch with all the black stitching. I have only been using these with BBE PAD MITS and I'm still trying to make a decision on which punch bag to buy and test these babies out! For this reason, I can only give the gloves four stars as I have not used them on a punch bag but the gloves are well worth the price as they are strong, well padded and professionally made. My final word is a Smashing pair of gloves couldn't of made a better choice ****!!!
