Several of you have been asking which gloves to purchase. I would recommend the following, to be found at www.ringside.com
1.) http://www.ringside.com/detail.aspx?ID=26118 $79.00 get size 12 oz.
2.) http://www.ringside.com/detail.aspx?ID=25890 $69.99 get size REGULAR
If you do purchase the Everlast 12 oz. from either Sports Authority or Sports Chalet (here in town), they are of lower quality & will last you only approx 6 months. They cost approx $40. They are just fine for beginners or if you don’t hit so hard. But, if you have the extra money, then go for the ones from ringside.com.
