As boxing continues to flourish, boxing gloves have begun to be accepted and developed by more and more combat sports. In order to address safety concerns, physiological impacts, entertainment, aesthetics, and other needs, various types of full-coverage and split-finger boxing gloves have been invented and created.
From the actual test, the difference in striking power between full-coverage and split-finger boxing gloves is not very obvious. According to the tester, the difference in striking power between the two gloves during a straight punch is approximately 30 to 60 pounds (13.5 to 27 kg). Despite the minor variance, the gloves' impact is crucial for fighters in combat sports.
Fully wrapped boxing gloves are commonly seen in boxing, Muay Thai, Sanda, K-1, and other stand-up fighting competitions. These gloves are classified based on their weight and thickness according to boxing standards. During competitions, gloves of different weights are used according to the weight levels of the fighters. 8 ounces (227 grams) of gloves are used for the 48-67 kg class, and 10 ounces (284 grams) of gloves are used for the 71-91 kg class. Boxing is a challenging and physically demanding sport that requires both technical expertise and strategic aggression. For safety reasons, amateur boxing matches are mainly determined by technical scores, so the boxing gloves used are large and thick; professional boxing matches are mainly determined by fierce attacks or knocking down the opponent, so the gloves are small and thin.
Finger-split boxing gloves are designed to provide maximum comfort and convenience to boxers while taking into consideration their physiological structure and aesthetic preferences. These gloves only partially cover the back of the hand, with the palm and fingers exposed outside. Since the MMA competition system allows ground techniques and long-term grappling, the use of finger-split boxing gloves can free the fingers to improve grip and control and release of both parties. Now almost all mixed martial arts competitions use finger-split boxing gloves.
