these glove be good entry level glove , I see many people give they five start but perhaps they have not try Grant or Cleto Reyes , if you be a boxing fan look at the glove they wear , they do away with everlast because of the quality , they be cheap , I buy a pair myself when I first start in Muay Thai and now I also train in american boxing , but as become a better and stronger fighter I begin to experiment with better quality equipment , so I give my old Everlast glove away . I love cleto and still use they but they run a little big , I love Grants even more , the quality and material of both brand be a lot better than Everlast , you may pay 100 buck more but you if you be not serious about you training or if you punch like a little boy stay with Everlast but if you really train like I do and profesional boxer , and fighter do the research and try out Grants or Cletos you 'll feel the diffence in the foam and the 100 % leather workmanship . believe I Everlast be just a entry level glove .
