Review on Gel Shock Super Bag Boxing Gloves For Ringside Training by Harry Ashcraft

After three years of heavy bag work and hitting the pads, I can comfortably say these babies held up VERY well. And I'm honestly surprised how well they've stayed intact.Is there a little bit of fraying and material slowly coming apart at the seams? Sure. But again, after three years of some pretty good training, the damage is more-so cosmetic than anything that would hinder performance. Which is pretty darn good.Why 4 stars instead of 5? I guess it's just personal preference. The top-heavy design up at the knuckles and the tight/snug fit around my hands just doesn't make for what I'd call "ideal" comfort. I have some Cleto Reyes and Everlasts in my closet that feel much better to keep on for extended sessions. But for Ringside to fall short just by a hair in the comfort department is rather impressive. And they do feel fine, just not as good as some other gloves I have.I do recommend veering away from sparring with these gloves. They don't have sufficient padding for blocking or delivering punches. But I guess that's why they're called "bag gloves" in the description. And in that territory, they perform just fine. I would even say great.
