these seem to be work out fine . I have only wear they once -lrb- for kickboxing -rrb- but my trainer think they will be great for my purpose , and they seem to fit okay . -lrb- I get the 12oz and I be 5 ' 7 '' 125lb . -rrb- the most notable thing be , THEY be smelly . like , some crazy weird synthetic smell , from the moment I take they out of the package . I actually have to leave they out of my gym bag for awhile to air out . when my husband come in later , he be like `` Whoa ! there be some weird smell in the office !!! '' and I be like `` it be my new boxing glove . '' it take day for they to be tolerable , and even now I can not leave they in a enclosed space for long . I have only have they for about a month though , so hopefully it will go away in time . the shared boxing glove at the gym really stink -lrb- like old sweat -rrb- so I guess I would rather have `` new boxing glove smell '' instead !
