Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between different types of boxing gloves
There are three types of boxing gloves available: mitts and fingerless mitts. Mitten gloves have padding at the knuckles. Fingerless mitts are not padded around the knuckles and still cover the fingers. Full-fingered gloves have padding throughout the entire hand.
For punching with the fist, mittens can be used. For striking or punching with the index finger’s knuckle, mitt gloves can be used. Boxing gloves with full-fingering are designed for punching with your entire fist.
